“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures”
1 Corinthians 15:3-4
First, I must say Happy Resurrection Sunday everyone(a little late)!! We enjoyed a beautiful day of worship and celebration at my house and I hope each of you enjoyed the same. 40:31 was my “verse of the week” for the Spring100! “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” After some long work hours, I found myself intensely physically exhausted this week YET the Lord instantly put Isaiah 40:31 on my mind and heart! When I am empty, The Lord God fills me up. His strength is made perfect in my weakness and in my exhaustion He carries me through the tasks He puts before me. It made me think of the spiritual race we are running! This spiritual race can only be run with endurance when we find our strength in Christ. “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise Him.” [Ps 28:7]! My heart trusts in Him and I am helped… every single moment of ever day!!????? “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength”. To wait means 1.) to remain in a state in which you expect [Ps 62:5]or hope[Jer 17:7] and 2.) to serve[Ps 100:2], to attend as a servant. So, as we run the race set before us, where is our hope and who are we serving? Ultimately, who are we running for? 🙂 As we run for, Hope in, and serve the Lord, He will renew our strength. Moment by moment and day by day! We will “run and not grow weary”. That is a promise! ? May the Lord richly bless each of your with renewed strength for week 5Happy walking/running y’all!! ??♀️?♀️?♂️

“I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of Thy righteousness, even of Thine only.”
Psalm 71:16
Rae
My dream place to do a walk for Spring 100 would be the beach! I would love to walk along the beach, whichever beach is the biggest and most empty (So not crowded with people) 😀 I have been enjoying this!
Amanda
My dream location to walk Spring100 would probably be Ireland because I’ve always wanted to see parts of Europe, and I think Ireland would be one of the prettiest.
Rachel M.
My #1 dream place to walk is on a road with no cars and with sunshine and warm weather. 🙂 😉 🙂 But also the beach…or hiking in the mountains sounds good right now too. 🙂
Have a lovely week 5 everyone!!!
Elisha
I would love to walk inNorthern California:.. the weather is so lovely!
Leona
Right now, I’d love to walk anywhere warm! It’s chilly here today. 😉 The forecast says it’ll warm up by the end of the week, though, so I’m looking forward to that! 🙂
Yvonne
When I was in my twenties, a singing group went to Europe for a tour. One of my favorite places was Austria. There were snow-capped mountains as a backdrop to the center of the town we were in. It would be awesome to walk around there and even cross over to Switzerland with the breathtaking views there. The people there were very friendly and I saw lots of farms. My appreciation of the splendor of God’s creation has changed since those days. It would be neat to walk and prayer talk with my LORD over these breathtaking countries.
JoyLeanneRojas
I would love to walk some Spring100 miles in Edinburgh, Scotland! 🙂
Kelli
My dream place to walk right now would be along the coastline with my toes in the sand and (preferably) warm waters… Florida, Tahiti, California (brrr), Perth, Namibia, Oregon (brrr), Grand Isle, Louisiana, anywhere, really, as watching the waves come and go remind me of the impermanence of each moment, the vastness of God’s AMAZING Creation and His LASTING word!
Kristin Jaster
My dream spot would be Caribbean beaches…especially doing a sunset walk/run! 🙂 I’ve never been and the pictures look so beautiful!
Rachel
????I’ll go with you!!! ??
Mary Mieczkowski
I would love walking/hiking in the mountains of Vermont – specifically at the Trapp Family Lodge in the summer! We visited there a few years ago and it was super cool! The scenery is breathtaking and made me think of Austria 🙂
Rachel
Oooh!!! That sounds so fun. I’ve heard Vermont is a beautiful place! ?
Anna
My dream place to walk would be in Tennessee with my family’s dear friends. ? If I had to choose a second place, I suppose it would be in the beach in Pensacola Florida.
Anna
?????
Lucy Wilson
Hawaii!?????
Rachel

Martha Joy
Another GREAT Spring100 post!!!! So fun to see so many very familiar faces in this one! 😀 Keep up the great work, everyone!!!!!!!
Hmmm, my dream location to walk?? Well, I actually love walking here in my home state of AL! 😉 Add in some special family member walks, and maybe some miles with dear friends from time to time, and we’ll be good to go! 🙂 I so enjoy Spring100!!!!! Keep running with endurance, everyone!!!
Rachel
I’m sooooooo thankful you enjoy Spring100, MarthaJoy. That is such a blessing to hear!!!!! ❤️☺️
Emma H.
My dream place to walk right now is the beaches of Normandy,France. It would be so wonderful to walk and remember the legacy of the men who fought and died there back in 1944.
virginiacoose
Good question! ? I don’t have a specific location actually as there are way too many I want to discover ? I think anywhere peaceful and surrounded by trees and flowers ?
Rachel
? I think that sounds lovely!!
Maggie
Hello everyone! Great work for Week 4! I love seeing so many smiling faces. ♥
As to a dream walking location…I think I already have it! Walking the roads around our house provides so many amazing views, especially in the evenings as the sun is setting. God’s creation is an awesome testament to His power and goodness! Praise His name!
Rachel
So thankful the Lord has blessed you with beauty and dream location walks!! ??
Grace Silvey
Hello! I was not able to exercise last week due to sickness but I’m ready for week 5!!! I love these posts and look forward to them every Monday!!
God bless!!!
Rachel
May the Lord renew your healthy and allow your to catch up for lost miles!!! ??
Rachel Mitton
My dream place to visit has always been Israel…but since that probably won’t happen anytime soon, walking in the woods {away from cars and people } is also pretty great! 😀
As always, I loved seeing all the pictures!
And thanks for sharing your verse for the week, Rachel! My verse for the week is John 15:1-2 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.”
Rachel
I love your verses of the week, Rachel!! Amen amen amen. ??☺️
Annie
Love this!! Great job everyone!! ????? My dream place to walk would be a quiet lake or beach where the weather is 70 degrees and up! ❤️
Rachel
? I love 70 degrees and up!! The warmer the better!!! ????
Sarah Silvey
Loved seeing all the great pictures of everybody and some familiar faces! *waves to Averey* ?
My dream place to walk?? My looong driveway… if there’s no puddles and no cars passing by. It’s surrounded by woods and so peaceful! ☺️
Rachel
You sound like you’ve been blessed with the perfect drive way!! ??? ENJOY it!!
Emma
Well, to choose one place I would choose somewhere in the west….maybe Colorado or Montana. Mainly because I would love to visit there sometime, and see the breathtaking scenery of the valleys with the mountain ranges in the backgrounds! ?
Lindsey M.
I love to walk surrounded by nature! Mountains, woods, fields, streams, they all fill me with wonder and praise for our Creator.
Rachel
?? that sounds pretty perfect!!

Loved the beautiful, happy pictures! What a feast for the eyes and heart! Rachel Lamb’s featured photo is breathtaking, and reminds me of my favorite place to walk. That would be Heaven. Just imagine…walking there with loved ones, and even more amazing will be walking with our Lord Jesus! Wow!
I took care of a dear saint for 2 years, 24/7. She was in a permanent fetal position and could only move her head from side to side. She couldn’t speak because she’d had a stroke, but she could smile out of one side of her mouth. I would often tell her that someday we would hold hands and walk together in Heaven. Her eyes would shine and she would give me her sweet, lop-sided, open-mouthed smile.
I was holding her hands when the Lord took her home at 87 years of age, and the last thing she did as her soul was departing, was to give me a big smile…with both sides of her mouth. She was going home, and she knew it. It is my desire to one day make good on my words, and walk with my little Pearl, and so many other dear departed ones.
Rachel
Aw, wow!!! Praise the Lord for that testimony. It was just what my heart needed!! Thank you, Sheri. ❤️❤️❤️
Anna
What a beautiful story! Thanks for sharing! ?
Abigail Warkentin
I love walking in Manitoba, near my house! But right now I would love to walk with my best friend (who also lives in Manitoba), but that is unfortunately not allowed right now?
Abigail Warkentin
But I would also love walking near a quiet lake where it is a little warmer then it is here now! (We still have some snow!) I’m getting envious of all the flower pictures!?
Rachel
Hopefully you two can walk together soon!! ?
Rebecca Wilson
My dream (and I hope to do for REAL someday)
Is to go to California and hike up and down the gorgeous water falls and beautiful places there for miles and miles!! (Also kayak) And hopefully meet some Spanish speaking ppl so I can speak to them in Spanish!? so there you have it, my dream!
~Becca
Rachel
???? I hope your dreams come true soon!! So fun!
Jacob McCaffrey
Alaska would be a beautiful place to walk, but I would say the place I would love to walk the most would be the fields of heaven… What a day it will be when we get there! Thank you Jesus!
Rachel
I do agree! ☺️??♀️
Rosy Marr
My dream location would be with my friend Kyra, in MI!! 😀
