One Reason: 21 Days to a New Beginning

by Shannon Janeczek (Editor), Steve Schofield

Overview

It takes approximately 21 days to develop a new habit.

When I was young, I took swimming lessons. After the instructor said to jump into the pool, like any kid, I ran and jumped into the deep end of the pool. For someone who couldn’t swim, that wasn’t the smartest thing; I had to be rescued. From then on, if I went into the water, I would go into a panic if I couldn’t touch the bottom.

In January of 2012, I signed up for a triathlon.

I had never done anything close to this, not even a 5K run. In fact, it had been 25 years since I did any type of strenuous exercise. I wasn’t sure how to train, or where to start to get in enough physical shape to complete the triathlon. Not to mention overcoming my fear of swimming.

But God put this on my heart. And if he could give Abraham and Sarah a child in their golden years, he could help me swim, bike, and run. I knew my journey wasn’t going to be as dramatic as Sarah’s, not by any stretch, but I had the faith to achieve my goals. And I hoped the training would help me develop the good habit of exercise.

About the Author

Steve Schofield was saved in August of 2005, and began writing poems shortly after that to deal with life’s stresses. He lives in West Michigan with his wife Cindy and their three sons. They are active members of the Greenville Community Church.

Steve is an IT professional, and has long been a self-described “internet geek,” so he used that skill to develop a couple of online applications that fund his writing habit.

He is the author of two other Christian devotionals:

52 Pickup: These Are the Words I Give to You to Share with Everyone (ISBN-13: 978-1449773045)
• Paperback –
• Kindle Version –

Remember the Nails: 40 Days of Doing Something Uncomfortable on Purpose (ISBN-13 : 978-0984651696)
• Paperback –
• Kindle Version –

“I give thanks to God for using me to share these poems and stories. He has inspired me to tell them, and there were many times I could sense the Holy Spirit assisting me in my writing. There certainly is nothing like having our Creator speaks directly to you; words can’t describe it! I only hope that I can help someone else along their own path, whether they are Christian yet or not. I feel this is my purpose, and if I only reach one person… that would be enough.”

The author is also available for speaking engagements and other events. Visit his website ( for more information.
