Spring100 MILE LOG

Featured Spring100 Photographer: Nathaniel Hendry
“I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.”
Psalm 16:8
First thing first! Y’all, we have 19 full walking days left in this 2020 Spring100 challenge. 19 days to get your miles accomplished! 19 days to accomplish what you may think is impossible because “For with God nothing will be impossible.” Luke 1:37!!! So, you are saying to yourself “I have tooo many miles left to walk… I just can’t do it!!” May I offer you a little bit of finish-line encouragement???♀️ “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”Phil 4:13!! YES, we can. Through Christ! Perhaps you have 50 miles left?! 2.7 miles a day and you will get it done! If you haven’t even done a single mile yet you only need to do 5.2 miles a day to cross the finish line! That may seem like a huge chunk to do at once but it can easily be split up. 2.6 miles in the morning and 2.6 miles at night will get you 100 miles if you start walking today. YOU CAN DO IT!!!! Y’all, press toward the goal, find your strength in the Lord, and don’t give up. I am praying every one of you makes it to the finish line!! ????
Now it’s time for the GIVEAWAY!!
This year we have a fun one.?

I like watermelon more! It’s so refreshing!!!
Amelia Crane
Watermelon would be my choice. There are health benefits to both, but watermelon is so tasty on a hot, summer day! 🙂
Lydia D.
Pineapple, for sure!!! 🙂 Although watermelon is very refreshing on hot days… Fruit is just amazing in general! 😀
Kina Lamb
That’s the perspective! 😀 😀
Anna
Pineapple or watermelon? Easy question to answer….. Pineapple! Watermelon is….. Well, I’ll just say this: I REALLY don’t like watermelon AT ALL!?=???.? =???.
Okay, y’all! Come on, YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! If you’re not finished with your miles yet, keep up the AMAZING work! Remember, the more often you walk, and the more miles you walk at a time, the sooner you’ll get there!!! If you need more encouragement/ ideas, I am here for you! If you wanted to, you might could get my email address from Rachel, and email me, and in will do my best to encourage you and check in to see how you’re coming along!?
Seriously, y’all, even those of you who have yet to walk a mile can do it! Sure, it’s going to take quite a bit more work and it’ll take more time out of your day..BUT, it is definitely doable! Just keep going, and YOU CAN MAKE IT!!!!! ???
~Anna
Anna
It’s a good thing Rachel didn’t ask what our favorite fruits were….. I wouldn’t be able to answer since I like every fruit excluding any kind of melon ?
Kina Lamb
Congratulations John & Bethany + Anna!!!! 😀 😀 😀
And I especially love that lake picture, Rosie. 😀 Did you take that on your phone?!
And that was such a fun and lovely walk, Caroline! 😀
I finished my Spring100 miles yesterday!! 😀 😀 Very excited! 😀 😀
Julia M.
Great job, Kina!!! So glad to see you enjoyed Spring100 ?
Lydia D.
Yayyyy Kina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ??? So happy for you 😀 😀
Caroline Flournoy
Great Job Kina!!! So excited for you!!!!!! 😀 🙂 Does it feel good to be done? XD 😉 😀 🙂
Yes!! 🙂 It was quite a fun and lovely walk and I enjoyed it very much! 😀
I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14
ChelsyRenee
Definitely pineapple as a favorite here! =)
Amelia Crane
And Sheri Claude! ** 200 miles!! ** Wow, my dear friend, that is just amazing, and I’m so glad for your inspiration. Much love to you and Mrs. Barker!
shericlaude
Thanks, Amelia! I actually miscalculated my miles after sending the picture and tally to Rachel. I discovered (to my disappointment and horror) that I was 9 miles short of 200 miles, PLUS the 2 miles I was planning on walking today (Monday, June 1) to get my 200 miles done! That meant I needed to walk 11 miles today, rather than the 2 that I thought I needed, if I was going to be telling the truth!!! Yikes! Well, I gave it my best shot. I drove to Gita’s this afternoon and walked 6 miles by myself, then I went home and took off my walking shoes. RELIEF! And ate dinner and drank and drank and drank water, and went back to Gita’s and walked a slow mile with her. Then I managed another slow mile (barely) before calling it quits. So, I walked 8 miles today. Tomorrow, Lord willing, I hope to complete the 200 miles with a 3 mile walk. Thank you, Lord, for preserving my feet! 🙂
Rachel
??? Sheri, you are inspirational!!! ?? Wow, that is dedication. Way to go!! Praising the Lord for giving you so much energy and determination to get 8 full miles in today! ??
Sarah Silvey
Oh wow! That is a hard one for me… I love watermelon and pineapple both! I guess if I have to choose, I would pick watermelon. ☺️?
Mary Mieczkowski
Pineapple is super good, but there’s nothing like a fresh cold piece of watermelon on a hot day ?
Heidi
I’d probably saw pineapple… watermelon is good sometimes, but not always. 😛 I’ve got a question about the video foe the extra entries in the giveaway… If I did a video with my sisters and sent it in would it count for all three of us or do we all three need to do our own? Congratulations to the newly engaged and newly married couples! So exciting!
Rachel
Ooooh! Great question, Heidi!!
How about this…. I will count 2 additional entries for each person who introduces themselves in the video!? So y’all can send in 1 video together but to each get those 2 additional entries you each need to individually introduce yourselves in that video.? If only 1 of you speaks, it will only count for the 1 person who spoke in the video! Does this make sense?
??♀️For anyone else reading this comment, if you do a family video submission as I described for Heidi above, feel free to let it go slightly over the 20 seconds in order to fit quick introductions in! ?? I know we have some big families participating and getting those names in under 20 seconds would be a squeeze.First name only is just fine!! HAVE FUN!!!
Lindsey M.
I would say watermelon, but pineapple is good too.
My sister and I didn’t get as many miles in last week as we wanted, so this week we are kicking it up a notch!
These verses came to my mind, thinking of the parallels between this challenge and our walk with Christ: “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,
2 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
Abigail
I choose pineapple, but watermelon is also amazing! They are both very refreshing on a hot day
bunnylovegirl
Watermelon — especially if cold when it’s sweltering outside! 😀
Holly Ford
Watermelon!!!?
Amanda
Great job everyone!! ?????? Hm, that’s a hard one! Both watermelon and pineapple are so refreshing, but if I had to choose I would probably go with pineapple. ?
JoyLeanneRojas
Definitely watermelon! I am allergic to pineapple so I don’t ever eat it. 🙁
Anna
Aww, that’s too bad! I’m possibly allergic to watermelon…. It makes me nauseous, ? but maybe I just dislike it that much! ?
Anna
One question about the entries….. Does the picture actually have to have the person in it, or can it just be 100-themed?
Rachel
Just like with any Spring100 photo, it is always best when the Spring100 participant is present in the photo!! 🙂 🙂
Anna
Alrighty! I already sent my picture (with me in it) in anyway. ? I was mainly asking out of curiosity for a camera-shy friend. ???
Jen Danner
Watermelon!
shericlaude
Again, some gorgeous pictures!!!
Congrats to Anna! May the Lord strengthen your bonds of love with each other and Himself in the coming years, if He should tarry. A three-fold cord is not quickly broken!
Congrats to Emmi for completing 100 miles! Congrats also to Rosie, Amber, Aaron, and Hannah for completing your 100 miles! And congrats to my great-niece, Joy, for making 100 miles last week! (She didn’t post a picture, but she told me yesterday in church.)
It was great fun to see Jon and Bethany together!!! 🙂
Last Spring 100 I chose pineapple. This year I’m choosing watermelon. Guess that shows that I love them both!
Rachel M.
Pineapple!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We grow watermelon in our garden and so we have it A LOT in the summer. Usually we have so much that it comes out our ears. 😀 When it is hot outside and picked jussssssssssssst right, it’s pretty good. But it gets old sooo quick, so I say pineapple is best. :):):)
Keep up the great walking everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beate
I think I would pick having a succulent piece of watermelon on a hot sunny day rather than pineapple. Although I love cooking with pineapple.
Leona
Congratulations to everyone who has reached 100 miles!!! And to the rest of us– we can do this, by God’s grace!!
I choose pineapple! For a while I didn’t like watermelon, but now I occasionally try it. 🙂
So is each person participating in the Spring100 able to submit their own photo and get a point for it, even if they are in the same family? What if there are two people or more in the photo? Thanks in advance for answering! 🙂
Rachel
Each family member can enter but photos will need to be unique to each participant! So 1 entry per photo. Not per person in photo! ??
Videos will be the only exception to this but as mentioned to Heidi, each participant must actively participate in the video by introducing themselves! ?
Karen
Pineapple is AMAZING!
Caroline Flournoy
Hmm…I would probably choose Pineapple. I LOVE watermelon but pineapple is just SO yummy and sweet! 🙂
Great work everyone!!! 😀 congratulations to all who reached 100 miles, and to everyone else…YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!!! I KNOW YOU CAN GET TO 100 MILES!!!!!!!! The Lord will give you the strength to finish!!! Don’t give up!!!! Keep going strong and pressing towards the finish line! You’ve got this!!! Happy walking for week 12 y’all!! 🙂 😀 😉 😀 🙂 ~Caroline Flournoy
Anna
Wow! Caroline, that is probably the most encouraging comment I’ve seen in a long time! Very enthusiastic and sweet! I love it! You keep up the great work as well! I love seeing the pictures of you with your siblings!???
Rachel Bryant
Pineapple all the way!! Watermelon is good on a hot day, but only if it’s super fresh, plus it’s much messier for kids to eat, so pineapple wins on both accounts of taste and less messy….???
J Lodi
Watermelon, definitely. Hits the spot pretty much every time I eat it! Refreshing, especially on hot, Texas summer days!
Annie
Definitely watermelon!! 🙂
Quick question: Does each family get one entry or does each person get one entry for the giveaway? Hope this makes sense!
Rachel
Each person as long as they each send in a photo! Families can share a video and each participant will be counted! ❤️
