Lately I have been getting into small runs, nothing too serious, I just enjoy the occasional workout. Running at first was just a way to exercise until I started meeting with the Lord on my runs (check my former post titled "Running with God") This past week I went out to do a short run, I wasn't planning on doing much more than 2.5-3 miles. I began and felt the presence of God so strong as I ran up hills, on straight paths, and occasional down hill. The 2.5 mile mark ended and I had to keep going because I wasn't done with God. I hit the three mile mark, but had to keep going. Then 3.5, then 4 all the way up to almost 5 miles of running. I had spent about 50 minutes running alongside Jesus. For all of you runners out there, my time and my distance may not be the best in the world, but that is the longest run of my life. I finished, honestly not even feeling tired. God had kept my focus so strong on Him through my run that I honestly could have kept going, and a part of me wishes I would have kept going. God can meet with you any time any where, even when your dripping gross amounts of sweat.
**Please keep my friend Tara Cherry in your prayers. She will be running a half marathon this Saturday. Tara has worked so hard to get in shape for this marathon, if you have the chance check out her blog (http://www.mommyheadadventures.com/) to see how hard she has worked and how far she has come. I am truly proud of her and blessed to have her in my life!**
