“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?”
Micah 6:8

Well, congratulations to each one of you! 🙌🏻 We have officially made it past the halfway mark for this Spring100 and I’m beginning to see that finish line ahead!! 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️ How was has the past week of walking/running gone for you?? Keep your eyes set on the prize. 🥇 We are so very close! This week, as we set out to grab our week 9 Spring100 miles and serve the Lord in every area of life, let’s take Micah 6:8 with us! If you haven’t memorized this verse from God’s Word, I urge you to do so. Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly… WALK HUMBLY with thy God! The command to walk humbly always takes my mind to James 4:6 where we are told “But He giveth more grace. Wherefore He saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” and then a few verses later James says, “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up.” I don’t know about you, but I desire that “more grace” that the Lord God gives to the humble. As I walk my miles this week, I am praying that I would be “clothed in humility” and that I would walk humbly with the Lord my God. “Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.” 1 Peter 5:5. May we seek to Do Justly, Love Mercy, and Walk Humbly for week 9 of the 2022 Spring100… HAPPY WALKING Y’ALL! 🙋🏼‍♀️💯

Before I learned to love God’s word/She taught it to me verse by verse/She prayed we’d learn to love those words and the Author/The truth she taught, the prayers she prayed/Have shaped my life in every way/And I know I’m who I am today because of her.
So thank you, Mom for all you’ve done/For your sacrifice and love/For raising us to know and love the truth/You stood strong when things got tough/And I know I never say this enough/Thank you, Mom.” Silvey Family

“The verse in the Bible that says “He maketh the barren to keep house and to be a joyful mother of children”is a very special verse to me. I know the Lord made it possible for me to have children and be a Mom like my Mom was.  One of  my greatest joys was to read to the kids or have them read to me.  My Mom instilled in us a love of reading and when she read out loud to us, she made the book come alive for me. Now we read devotions to each other each morning over the phone. I am thankful for that time and treasure it very much.  I thank God for the gift of mothers! Happy Mother’s Day!” Yvonne J.

What an honor to spend the day celebrating our Mothers! Words cannod express the gratitude my siblings and I have for our Mom. Her daily sacrifice and labor of love have blessed us beyond measure and we thank the Lord for her! To all the mothers out there, keep up the great work. Your labor in the Lord is not in vain!! “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9 ♥️

“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
