Spring100 MILE LOG

…………………………………

“For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.”
Micah 4:5

…………………………………

A fellow Spring100er, Hannah G. from VA, brought Micah 4:5 to my attention this weekend and really encouraged my heart!? How perfect is it for the Spring100?! I love how Micah 4:5 reminds us that we follow not after the pattern of the world as they follow after their idols and false gods but we are set-apart and shining lights in a dark world as we walk in the name of the Lord God. In His name alone is there found salvation(Acts 4:12) and in His strength alone(Hab 3:19) will we make it to the finish line of our spiritual race triumphant(2 Corinthians 2:14)! Psalm 20:5 says “… in the name of our God we will set up our banners…”! Will you walk/run the Spring100 and run your spiritual race in the name of the Lord? Will you make His name known and conquer for His glory and by His strength? The Psalmist says in Psalm 34:1, ” I will bless the LORD at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Let’s move forward this Spring100 giving the Lord ALL THE GLORY for every mile accomplished and let’s walk the Spring100 in the name of the Lord! “That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.” (1 Cor 1:31)! Y’all, enjoy week 5!! ???‍♀️?

Over the years I have tried to make a point of not letting the weather (within safety and wisdom?) hinder me from accomplishing my daily walk/run and I remind myself that if it won’t kill me, it will make me stronger! ? Then I conquer in the stretngth of the Lord! Reminds me of our spiritual race, we will face hurdles that seem unsurpassable, trials, and challenges that will seem to give us an excuse to not run with endurance BUT remember, we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. He provides the grace to run with endurance as we set our eyes steadfastly on Him and seek His strength… one step at a time!??? Keep up the energy and enthusiasm y‘all! You are doing WONDERFULLY!

“For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.”
Psalm 18:29

    My ankle is slowly healing up (praise God!) and running is becoming less painful. Thanks for your prayers!

    My dream place to run would be… probably Colorado. I’m sorry, but it is just too gorgeous there.

Or wild Norway, soft England, or any foreign country, really. I wouldn’t be picky. 🙂 How wonderful it would be to explore a completely different location!
