Love it or hate it

It's not about the bragging rights.  Running is a lifestyle a relationship, not a temporary fix to get in some clothes, not a fad, and not a score keeper for how many more miles you ran than someone else. It is a love/hate relationship for me.

At times I want to say forget it and at times I embrace it just like any of my relationships or anything I do in life. It is not a time for me to say to the world look at me I ran today but a time to let my Lord, health, body and attitude reflect the results of my run.

I only hope that my results makes an impact on those I meet. I pray that I can continue to run until I am old and gray and not because it is the in thing to do but because the Lord has place this love in my heart and my spirit. I will continue to run this race, casting all that hinders me and not be weary!

That is why I love Hebrews 12:1 (New International Version) Therefore, 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..

So with that I will continue to run until I can't run anymore! I think the pic below says it all!

Scars ...Constant Reminder

Scars Never Let us Forget Walking through your grief does not mean you forget. In John Chapter 5 we read Jesus asked the lame man at the Bethesda waters if he wanted to be healed.  Here we have a man who after possibly decades of being lame dealing with loss, grief and shame was asked by a total stranger if he wanted to be healed.   What you may noticed he never really answered Jesus, he sorta skirted around the question.  I do not know if it was because of fear, disbelief or reluctance that caused him to avoid answering. Like the lame man at the pool, most people we know are going through their own personal grief, loss, defeat.  With grief some people may not want to be healed because of what they feel they may have to give up.   We may feel that our loss is so great that if we let go of the hurt and pain we will let go of any connection we had with that person.  Healing means forgetting. Just like Jesus asked the lame man if he ...

Moving Forward

Even if you don't believe in scripture you cannot deny this and how it applies to life...."forget what is behind me and do my best to reach what is ahead. 14 So I run straight toward the goal in order to win the prize..." You can't continue to look back and live in the past if you want to move forward towards your goal.  Keep moving forward.  Use your experience as a guide not something that you continue to squat in.  You don't live there anymore.  You are in the present trying to move to better and greater things.  Be blessed!  #heb12v1 #imcoz2017 #coachk #3n1coach #trainHard #m4w

Thank you to all who donated!  There are so many who are homeless and a new blanket or toy for their furbabies can make a small difference and hopefully encourage them and let them know people do care!  Thank you @imperfect_yet and Dream Angels for your blessings!!!
