From Devo on December 23rd, 2010

I have semi- started training (waiting to kick it into gear after all the Christmas CHOW:)
for a half-marathon, So I've been trying to build up my endurance again,
which is a challenge all in itself as it's fallen tremendously, so I have a LONG way to go!

The Lord really likes to tell me things when I'm running for some reason..
I think because it's the most focused I am during the day and he has my attention. So
we have some great conversations. Mostly me listening :)

For those of you that know me well, you know I am very hard on myself. If something doesnt' come quickly or easily,
I get frustrated with myself. So while I am battling things in my mind and at the same time feel like quitting.. he keeps
telling me "RUN THROUGH THIS.. I got this, just RUN THROUGH IT." In all circumstances!!!

I give up too quickly, and don't lean on the one I know who can carry me through. So for
2011 my mantra is RUN THROUGH IT. No matter what.

Keep running the race ( literally:) He has set out us,if we would only TRUST! Each of us has a task to complete in this life, so let's not be wimps and just do it!!
It's not going to be easy, there is going to be HILLS.. big ones.. Trials, disappointments, heartache.. but that is why we have THE BODY OF CHRIST!!!!

At the end of this life, I want to be able to say...

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7

And then hear HIM say...

'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness! Matthew 23:23

So make it a great day & RUN THROUGH IT!!
