Training logs and Gymboss timer

Last night before going to bed I was thinking about my workout the next morning (this morning).  I then went to look for my training log (A4 sheets in a polypocket).  Usually when I return from the gym I empty my bag out and put the training log on the kitchen seat or back in my bedroom, under my gym bag so I don't forget to bring it.  However, when I went to look last night the training log was not in any of these usual places.  Uh-oh!!  Where was it?  I looked in the living room just in case I forgot I looked at it in living room and forgotten.  But it wasn't there.  So... could I have left it at the gym?  I looked up the PDF files and reluctantly had to print the two pages out for my current workout schedule and I put them into a new polypocket.  I then wanted to get my Gymboss timer from my bag and low and behold THAT was also missing.  Oh man!!  How did that happen?  Was I that forgetful that I left both these things in the gym?  I do remember bringing these two things with me, along with my water bottle, into the changing room and putting them on the bench before taking my bag out of the locker and showering etc.  However, I cannot remember putting them back into my bag before zipping up.  Aiyah!!  I must have left the training log and Gymboss timer on the changing room bench!

Will it still be there two mornings after?  Am I lucky enough to have someone hand it in to the reception?  Are there anyone nice guys willing to hand it in as lost property?  I doubted anybody would be so nice to that.  So I was quite disappointed in myself for leaving such valuable information at the gym.  I was thinking how somebody else may have benefitted from the training log which I paid for, and my Gymboss timer, which costs about £15 brand new.  I went to bed disappointed yet determined to go to the gym next morning and work out hard to make up for it.  I didn't even pray to God about this as I felt it was a lost cause.

When I reached the gym this morning I went to the reception to get my free towel from Michelle at reception.  By chance I thought I'd asked Michelle if by any chance anybody would have handed in a timer thing that looks like a pager as I left it in the changing room on Monday.  Michelle went into the office, guessing to check, then came back out and walked to another part of the reception desk and asked if the thing I was looking for was 'this?'.  From behind some folders she pulled out my polypocket and the Gymboss timer.  And the Gymboss timer was clipped onto the training log, exactly how I would normally clip it when bring it down to the changing room!!  Wow!!  I was sooo delighted when I saw it.  I thanked Michelle and proceeded to enter the changing room and thanked God for it immediately.

It was such a relief when I got the training log back.  The 30-plus pages were back with me and not lost.  My timer I got to use right away too.  I was so happy to get back the originals that I kept them inside the bag in the locker and only used my two new pages.  Don't want to risk anything happening to the originals anymore!!  Phew!

I want to thank the Lord for His protection over even this seemingly small matter.  He knows how important these A4 sheets are to me, and my Gymboss timer.  I am even more thankful when I know that I have not been that close to God in recent weeks and have not made much effort in spending time with Him etc, yet He still loves me so much.  Or at least that is how I feel.  So I want to record this down.

Nothing you can do, will make Him love you more.
