Hebrews 12:1-2
Since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the SIN that so easily entangles, and let us RUN with Perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.
I love all of the scriptures that have us RUNNING. Not b.c I love to run, but what running has meant to me to last couple of years. A friend of mine from the Biggest Loser Competition was new about doing a 5K at the end.l I told her that if she did get through the first mile and a half, the rest was a piece of cake. And hearing people you don't know cheer when you cross the finish. How you suddenly get a huge perk of energy at the end. And how I am nervous at the beginning and ask myself what did I get myself into during the first quarter mile of the race. And then you get into a running groove, you pass by a water station, or a really good song comes on your IPOD. And then you realize YOU CAN DO IT b/c YOU ARE DOING IT.
That's where my funk comes in. I just need the kick start of doing it, that'll get me off of the couch and to take a shower to start off my day. My job usually does it b/c I have to go to work, even with a nigh of panic attacks having plagues me.
And so I am going to make an effort to be better. To not waster my days and to grow in relationship with you Lord.
Lord,
Teach me to cultivate a gentle and quiet spirit.
Amen.
