“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:1-2

WEEK 4 MILEAGE FORM

“ It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places.”
Psalm 18:32-33
How was week 4 of the Spring100 for you all?? It’s been a blessed week of walking for me. We had quite the weather roller-coaster here in North East Texas! ?☔❄☀ I love Psalm 18 and verses 32-33 are perfect as we enter a new week. This portion of Psalm 18 is my go-to when I feel “too tired” or lack motivation! It is going to be the Lord who gives us the strength to spiritually run with endurance and physically finish this Spring100 challenge strong. He makes our way perfect! So, if you find you’re getting tired and lacking endurance, look steadfastly to the Lord and He will renew your strength! He makes our feet like hinds feet and sets us on high places. That’s an incredible promise! This week’s verses on the Spring100 calendar are 1 Corinthians 9:24-25, “Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.” Pretty amazing, isn’t it?! In God’s strength, let’s run to win. I am praying for each of you this new week of the SPRING100. Have fun walking/running week 5!!??

Loved this! Thanks for the encouragement! I also know you put in a lot of time compiling the pictures. Thank you!
My top fave place no doubt would be hiking in he mountains of Colorado.
Rachel
Aw, thank you so much Sarah!!! You are always an encouragement. It’s truly a privilege to compile! ?☺️
?? I figured CO would be top choice! ?⛰ Keep up the great work, Sarah!!

I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress:
my God; in him will I trust.-Ps 91:2
Sarah S
I am happy to walk anywhere with family or a good friend ,but must confess I am partial to mountains ! There’s nothing quite like reaching the summit of a peak and surveying the vastness of creation below. I live in an excellent location for mountains. Arizona is full of them !
Rachel
I agree, reaching the mountain top and looking down definitely is a humbling reminder of God’s great power. I always think of Psalm 46 when I’m blessed with a mountain walk! ☺️❤️ Ah!! You definitely live in a lovely state!! Enjoy it and this new week of the Spring100. ⛰?
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.”Psalms 46:1-3
Grace L
I’d love to be walking in Port A. right now. It is about 1/2 mile from our vacation spot to my favorite coffee shop, so I’d have my mile done in just one latte! ??? There are so many energetic and fun photos this week!!! So nice to see all the faces I’m walking with!!
Rachel
I’d love to join you for a walk to the coffee shop!! ??
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.-Ps 91:15
Carolyn Griggs
I am enjoying doing the Spring 100 with everyone this year! The pictures have been wonderful…keep them coming!
I’m not picking a favorite place to walk, but favorite circumstances for walking…somewhere flat, cool but dry, and the wind not over
5 miles an hour! But maybe I’m just thinking of heaven….
Thanks for all your time and effort you put into Spring 100. Rachel
Love,
Carolyn Griggs
Rachel
I’m so thankful you are enjoying it, Mrs Griggs! ? This is such a blessing to hear. ☺️ Hehe, your comment made me smile! Yes, Praise the Lord, our heavenly walks will be pristinely perfect and glorious. Can’t wait!! ??
Ah, praise the Lord and thank you for the encouragement.(Ps 115:1) Thank YOU for being a part of the Spring100!! ?
“With long life will I satisfy him,
and shew him my salvation.” Ps 91:16
Bethany G
I would love to walk in the Holy Land someday. Walking among the ruins of what people in the Bible saw is so amazing. This was another fun post!!
Rachel
If you go, take me with you!! ??♀️?? That would be a tremendously humbling trip/walk.
So glad you enjoyed it!!! I had a blast putting it together. ☺️?
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High-Ps 92:1
Kashima Toppin
Hi
Everyone, I agree with Bethany G, the holy land for me as well. Ravi Zacharias was at my church on Sunday and talked on the book of Nehemiah and how he went back home to rebuild Jerusalem……
Thank You…..
Rachel
☺️❤️ the Holy Land is a beautiful choice, Kashima!!
O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.- Ps 92:5
Hannah
Oh… Hard question, but Rocky Mountains would be first pick, then maybe some costal cliff in California, Ireland or England. ??
Had a wonderful week 4 looking forward to week 5!
Rachel
Ooooh!!! Fun choices Hannah!!! ??
So glad you had fun seeing everyone. Keep up the great work!! ??
The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.-Ps 97:6
lydiajael
Oh, WOW! This post is too much FUN!…. I love every picture! ❤️? My dream location…. hmmmmmm, such a hard question!? I think I’d pick Estes Park Colorado??, it’s beautiful there!… It would also be neat to take a Spring100 walk in the Redwood forest in California???, I’ve never been there… that would be amazing! BUT I guess anywhere where your able to witness Gods creation is “amazing”!??
Rachel
Ooooh, I want to go walking with you at the Redwood forest!!! ?????
The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.-Ps 103:8
Annie R
Loved this post!
Hmm. Hard question, Rachel! I would probably have to pick Ireland, or somewhere in the mountains with gorgeous views. 😀
Keep up the great work, everyone!
Annie
Rachel
Ireland is a great choice, Annie!! Love it. ☺️? Keep up the wonderful work!! You’re doing great. ?
Bless the Lord, all his works

I would have to say Scotland would be my dream place to walk. It is Soo beautiful there in the highlands. I enjoyed all the pictures, especially Jenny’s picture with her dogs–I love Huskies–and Rachel S.’s picture with Tower Bridge. Keep up the great work, everyone!
Rachel
? Scotland would be a gorgeous place to walk the Spring100!! ???

Keep up the wonderful work, Hannah! ?

Rachel
Thank you for helping make it a wonderful Spring100 post!! ?☺️ Hehe, Lord willing y’all should get that perfect spring weather soon!! ?
Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the Lord;
for he is good:
for his mercy endureth for ever.-Ps 106:1
Esther Beauford
Oh I would love, to walk the beach, out west following a cow trail, or in Europe wandering around the countryside. I couldn’t pick! Haha But the best walks, are with company. ?
I loved the walk this past week. I forgot to send in a picture of the heifer, that was threatening to charge me when I wanted to walk by. ?
Love looking at the pictures and reading the comments!
Rachel
I agree, the best walks truly are with company!! ☺️❤️
? I’m so glad it chose not to charge you. ??
So thankful your loving the post!! Thank you for being a part of it. ☺️?
Seek the Lord, and his strength:
seek his face evermore.-Ps 105:4
Leah
Fantastic photos this week y’all! I really like all the walking destination choices everyone has thought of. For me I’d say walking in the mountains; maybe the Blue ridge mountains in NC. Though Ireland sounds very intriguing!
Thanks for an encouraging post, Rachel!
Have a fabulous weekend y’all!
