Getting out for my run yesterday was a challenge. I was scheduled to do 18 miles according to my "smart coach" online program. I cringed and wanted to curl up in bed instead! I got dressed with the intention of finding everything else to do besides my scheduled run. I checked my emails, then Facebook. I eventually landed on the ChildCry website and I was reminded why I need to lace up and get running. ChildCry feeds 4000 + children everyday around the world. That was what I needed! Each mile I log now prepares me for the marathon and the reason I'm running three to four hours on the weekends ;)
It's definitely something that spurs me on towards the finish line on Nov 6th... The same with my walk with God. In times of difficulty when I don't feel like going on, I look toward the goal. When I run and face an obstacle, I ask God for strength to push through. He provides the strength to push through in life as well.
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Phil 3:14
