Here we are!! The first 100MileMonday post of the year. Praise the Lord!!πŸ™ŒπŸ» What a wonderful group we have. Well over 6,000 walkers are registered for this 2025 Spring100, and so many more are still signing up to join the challenge!🀩 I am so grateful to the Lord for another Spring season to walk across the miles with you all. It is my hope and prayer that this year’s challenge physically and spiritually encourages you as you set your eyes on Jesus Christ, The Author and Finisher of our Faith, and run the race of life with ENDURANCE. Endurance is our theme word for 2025! We are commanded to patiently endure trials and hardships for Christ’s glory and our sanctification. Our Christian life will be a constant theme of endurance. We can only run with endurance if we set our eyes on the One who has triumphantly run the race before us. “Jesus has endured the suffering and shame which were due to us. O soul, thou canst never start on the road to heaven unless thou dost look to Him who β€œendured the cross” on thy behalf!”(C.H. Spurgeon). So, are you ready to run with endurance? Let’s set our eyes on the Prize and do this! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸΎπŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

ENDURANCE: A bearing or suffering; a continuing under pain or distress without resistance, or without sinking or yielding to the pressure; sufferance; patience. (Webster 1829)


Spring100 Meditation
Eyes always fixed on Christ

Hebrews 12:1-2 || Week 1


Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance 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 has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
HEB 12:1-2

We can have no doubt about the great truths which we believe, for we are compassed about with a cloud of witnesses. The former chapter gives us the names of many of these glorious bearers of testimony, who all by faith achieved great wonders and so bore witness to the truth of God. Having therefore no room for doubt let us throw our whole strength into our high calling, and run with patience having our eyes always fixed upon Him, the beginner and finisher of our faith, who has run the race himself and won the prize, and now sits down on the right hand of the throne of God.- C.H. Spurgeon

a believer should be always looking to Christ, and off of every object, as the word here used signifies. Christ is to be looked unto as “Jesus”, a Saviour, who being appointed and sent by God to be a Saviour, came, and is become the Author of eternal salvation; and to Him only should we look for it: He is able and willing to save; He is a suitable, complete, and only Saviour; and whoever look to Him by faith shall be saved; and He is to be considered, and looked unto, as “the author and finisher of faith”: He is the author or efficient cause of it; all men are by nature without it; it is not in the power of man to believe of himself; it is a work of omnipotence; it is an instance of the exceeding greatness of the power of God; and it is the operation of Christ, by his Spirit; and the increase of it is from Him, ( Luke 17:5 ) and He is the finisher of it; He gives himself, and the blessings of His grace, to His people, to maintain and strengthen it; He prays for it, that it fail not; He carries on the work of faith, and will perform it with power; and brings to, and gives that which is the end of it, eternal life, or the salvation of the soul.-John Gill

But since the Saviour I have known
My rules are all reduced to one;
To keep my Lord, by faith, in view,
This strength supplies and motives too.

I see him lead a suff’ring life,
Patient, amidst reproach and strife;
And from his pattern courage take
To bear, and suffer, for his sake.
John Newton

    This is my first year!! I had never heard of Spring 100 before, but was so excited to join when I heard about it from a friend! I’m walking in Hokkaido, Japan. We still have lots of snow here, but I am enjoying walking each day and observing as Spring comes little by little.

    My first Spring100 was 6 years ago. Sometimes our then toddler joined me on walks, with two youngers on the stroller. This year I have five children old enough to log their own miles, and another waiting for warmer days to join in the stroller! We are still getting snow here in Michigan.
