“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 3:14
Now that we are entering week 7, how is Spring100 going for YOU? Once you have finished week 7, you’ve made it to the half way mark so keep it up!! Some of you have actually passed that 100 mile goal or are so very close to it!? Well done!! Some of you are right on track and keeping up with the daily mile quota. WAY TO GO!!! ?? Some of you may be way behind. DON’T GIVE UP! ?? There is time to catch up! You can do it.? I like to remind fellow participants that write with concerns that they won’t finish of this; that even if you have yet to walk a single mile for the Spring100, from here on out you only need to walk 2.2 miles a day to cross that finish line on time! YOU CAN DO IT! Don’t drop out of the race… don’t give up! Continue going strong. Find your strength in the Lord and set your eyes on the prize!! 2.2 miles a day is less than 40 minutes of moderate paced walking. 40 minutes out of 24 hours is worth the effort to step away from the busy day and get some exercise. You have a large and encouraging group of fellow Spring100ers cheering you on! We can’t wait to see you all at the finish line! ? So, here is to the half-way week. Whether you are almost finished, half way there, or just beginning, may it be filled to overflowing with Fabulous Spring100 walks and fun memories! Let’s conquer week 7. Happy Walking y’all! ??♀️?♂️?♀️
Week 6 QUESTION: If you could walk a mile with any Christian in history, who would it be and why?? Don’t leave without answering below. Can’t wait to see who y’all choose!!
??♀️NOTE: We are working on doing the featured Spring100 Video every other week which means we need your videos before next Monday’s 100MileMonday Post!! If you have one to send, let me know! I will tell you how you can send it in. ?
AS ALWAYS-These posts are made possible by YOU!! Your photo submissions and comments make these post extremely fun and my job of putting them together super easy. Thank you! So with that being said, don’t leave without commenting and remember to send in your Spring100 walking/running photos to be featured! Email to Spring100@shilohPhotography.com
The Thenhaus Family took me up on the challenge to add a little extra weight to their walk! They said, “Here we are with our extra weight. But….. ?She ain’t heavy, she’s my sister?” Loved seeing sweet Melody for week 6!???

Hannah weighed down her back-pack and went out for a little exercise! But for Hannah, this isn’t anything new. She had the pleasure of back-packing across Europe a not too long ago!?? So heavy back-packs and long walking miles aren’t anything new for this world traveler. ??
And Kina took me up on the weighted challenge by carrying the Word of God! Loved this. May His Word be our guide, lighting our path every step of the way!! “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Ps 119:105??♥️

This group seems to be having a smashing time! ? Bethany says, “One walk this week consisted of walking to the overpass and waving to PEOPLE!!

“I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.”
PSALM 16:8
Abigail Warkentin
Wow, that is such a hard and good question!!? I think I would’ve liked to walk with Corrie Ten Boom! She was and is such and inspirational woman!?
Tisha Stille
I just finished reading her book!!! So so good!!
Rachel
She truly was!! Definitely could learn so much from her. ??
virginiacoose
I totally agree with Abigail ?? There would be so much wisdom to learn from Aunt Corrie as they call her ?
Rachel
She lived quite a life I’d sacrifice and surrender to the Lord!! ?
Sarah
Absolutely loved seeing everyone’s pictures this week!!! Keep up the great work!
I would love to walk with the Apostle Paul… his books are such an encouragement to me, and I love his love for Jesus, Israel, and the truth! ?
Rachel
Oooh!! Fabulous choice. ?
Mary Mieczkowski
I would so greatly enjoy walking with C.S. Lewis!! His perspectives on everything are so refreshing.
Keep up the great walking, everyone!
Rachel
Thank you for being a Spring100 encourager Mary!! ?☺️?
Anna
LOL big time! That cat I’m holding lives at a gas pipeline plant! ??? But, we all look forward to seeing her at the halfway point of every walk! ?
I would choose to walk with Fanny Crosby, because…..?…. Well, she didn’t complain about being blind! It would be good for whiny me to talk to her ? Besides that, I have always admired her for the poems and songs she wrote.?
Rachel
Her hymns are beautiful!!! Fun choice!! ?
Amber
I would love to walk with Bonhoeffer! I think he had some great wisdom for the church when it comes to standing for what is right!
Rebekah Perkins
I was recently listening to an audio book chapter with my husband that Bonhoeffer wrote on communion. This particular chapter was about confession. Very GOOD! I should probably take the time to soak up the whole book.
Rachel
I very much appreciate Bonhoeffer’s love for the Lord and bold stand in the face of evil. Listened to a biography on him that was really stellar. Definitely the Lord working in him and through him. Great choice Amber!! ?
Kina Lamb
Hello Caroline and Templetons and everyone else I know!! 😀 Oh my, Bethany, I can totally see you just having so much fun waving to all those people. Haha!! That WOULD be fun! 😀 Lovely photos, everyone!
I would walk with Katarina von Bora! (Martin Luther’s wife.) She’s my hero of the faith. I have learned so much from her example, and she has all of the characteristics of the Proverbs 31 woman!!
Caroline Flournoy
Hello to you too Kina! 😀
Rachel
Love your unique choice Kina!! I’ve never heard about her. Now I’m curious! ??
Esther Nelson
If I was to walk with a Biblical character,I think I would walk with Queen Esther, and find out firsthand what her experience as saving God’s chosen people was like and glean all I could from this wise woman.
Rachel
Oh, love that choice! ???
Jenna
I couldn’t decide for sure but I think that it would be great to walk with Sarah Edwards. She seems like such a good example of a godly woman and was so close to her Savior. I think I could glean a lot from her!
Rachel
You may want to grab a notepad for that walk and take notes! ?? Great answer Jenna!!
Maggie
When I read your question…my mind flew straight-way to Jesus! It made me think of the story about walking with Him on the road to Emmaus. Wouldn’t that be an amazing mile, just soaking up His words and love?! That wouldn’t be near long enough!!!
Thank you to everyone for your amazing pictures and happy smiles! Keep going, everybody!
Maggie
P.S. Silvey ladies, it’s wonderful to see you enjoying your walk together! And, Karmen, I love your photo! ♥
Amanda
It was so wonderful seeing your family’s picture as well! ?
Sarah
Hi Maggie! *waves* ? We’ve enjoyed doing Spring100 together. We love seeing pictures of your family walking together, too!
-Sarah Silvey
Anna
I agree with you 100%!!!!♥️
Rachel
Amen, Maggie!! And to think, one day we will spend all eternity in His presence. ☺️? Praising the Lord for His salvation that makes this possible!!

The day I carried two 5 pound weights, I walked with them for one mile. They were dead weights on my arms, so I pumped them as I walked. When the mile was done, I put them down. Boy, did that feel good!!! For the next two miles, I felt so light, I almost (almost!) could have ran. 😉
LOVE the pics again this week! So fun, and some are funny, others are beautiful. Thanks for all of them!
There are so many blessed Christians from history; people that the Lord used mightily. It’s a hard call, but I think I would like to walk with Adam. I would love to ask him what Eden was like, and what life was like during his lifetime, both in Eden, and after the fall. I would love to ask him to describe walking with God in the cool of the evenings.
Rachel
I had the same exact experience Sheri!! Know the feeling of “*almost* could have ran”! ??
Amanda
Besides Jesus, I would love to be able to walk with Corrie Ten Boom! ?❤️ I’ve always been so inspired by her story and her great faith in the midst of horrible persecution.
Rachel
She would be a blessing to talk with during a good mile or 10! ??
Tisha Stille
I would like to take a walk with Betsie Ten Boom, Corrie’s sister. Betsie was constantly reminding Corrie to be thankful for anything and everything (even fleas) and to love those who were hurting them. Would love to listen to her heart!
Rebekah Perkins
I would be more inclined to choose Betsie also…because i’m more like Corrie and need friends like Betsie, who can spur me on to spiritual maturity. When you read about both Betsie and Corrie, they are like the “rotting apple” that my husband frequently talks about. He says that “a rotting apple is beautiful”. If the apple doesn’t rot and die…it will remain unfruitful…but if it dies, it bears much fruit. I don’t see much of Betsie coming out of Betsie…but a whole lotta Jesus living inside of her! Love and compassion spill out of her life that is simply supernatural.
5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 On account of these the wrath of God is coming. 7 In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. Colossians 3:5-10
Emma H.
Yes, I totally agree with you! Betsie was a wonderful woman of God! Two other people I would love to walk with would be Darlene Deibler Rose and Brother Andrew. Both have incredible stories!!
Rachel
Yes yes yes, Tisha!!! Wouldn’t we better off if we all took a lesson from Betsie?! ??
Toni S Hammer
I would so enjoy walking with Joni Eareckson Tada, seeing her use those legs of hers again. She’d be dancing and leaping and praising God and we would be singing great hymns of the faith together!
Rachel
Oooooh!!! I love your choice. She’s got such a beautiful testimony!! ?☺️
James Jones
My daughter named her four boys after men of the faith: peter Marshal, Eric Liddle, Hudson Taylor and William Wilberforce. These men were dedicated, faithful witnesses who were also culture changers sacrificing their lives and fortunes to build the Kingdom.Standing strong against the culture encourages me to do the same.
Rachel
Such great names for your grandsons to be named. Yes! They truly were. ☺️
Hannah Bartin
Getting my miles in this year had been a battle! I’m working this year ( and working a night shift) so I’m waaay behind but I’m hoping I can get better at catching up on the weekends ?
Rachel
Way to go squeezing them in when you can, Hannah!!! Always blessed to have you here. ???
Caroline Flournoy
Wow! that’s a hard question to answer… I would probably choose Nate Saint. I love his story SO much and am so inspired by him!
A couple other people I would love to walk with would be Eric Liddell and Corrie Ten Boom. ahhh! there’s too many people to choose just one but if I HAD to choose just one then I would choose Nate Saint. 🙂
Keep up all the good work everyone and keep all the great pictures coming! I love to see all the smiling and happy faces! 🙂
Rachel
Great choices, Caroline!! ???♀️
J Lodi
I would love to walk and talk with Joseph or Daniel. They are some of my favorite characters in the Bible because they endured such hardship and adverse circumstances when they were very young, yet they kept their eyes on the Lord. I would love to hear some tips from them regarding keeping one’s eyes on Christ and maintaining joy and strong, godly character through difficulty.
Rachel
Love those choice and your reasoning behind it! ?
Annie
I would love to walk with Elisabeth Elliot, Joni Eareckson Tada or Queen Esther. Great question!! ?????
Ruth Cook
I would love to take a walk with Amy Carmichael. And, Ruth from the Bible.
Rachel
I absolutely love the example of Ruth in the bible!!! ? Great choice!!!
Rebecca Bontrager
I think I would chose Nate Saint.
great question though!
Thanks Rachel for putting this on. It has been great for me to do more walking!!
Rachel
So happy you’re enjoying the challenge, Rebecca!! ??
