STAYING IN YOUR LANE

As I prepare to go to Calgary to run in the Marathon, I’m reminded a little about what it means to “Stay in your Lane.”
Marathon runners don’t have lanes. But our lives do. We set a course and sometimes that course takes us to places we don’t belong. Sometimes the opposite is true and we run a course that takes us exactly where we want to go.

I’ve been training for this run for 8 months. Along side that, I have been running a different kind of race…trying to find my Life’s Lane. The place I’m supposed to be. And doing the things that I’m Called to do.

In 1995, I started Meyer Photography. I began photographing weddings. Then moved to Editorial Photography. Wanting to increase my income, I learned to write magazine articles. And when God moves you on, you go. So I took on the challenge to write novels.

From novels, I ventured out into screenwriting. And I’ve had success along the way.

A writing career takes you many places and often requires a lane change. I love screenwriting. Love film and the message movies can bring to the audience.

But for a long time, I didn’t know where my lane was and that’s evident in the many different things I’ve tried. Sometimes it takes a Life Coach to help you find your way. I have one. Faye Webber at Onward Coaching… a delightful, Christian woman who’s helped me find my lane.

Running has been a goal. A dream. Something I kept to myself because I didn’t think I could do it. Certain that I couldn’t, in fact.

But through Faye, God has helped me to get out of my own way and move forward. To run this race called Life and to run in Calgary.

So what’s my next goal? Half Marathon then a Marathon. I don’t know where yet, but I’ll find one.

And I’ll let you know how it goes.

Best to You
Diane
