“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
Psalm 1:1-3
So here we are, half way through the Spring100 and in the Month of May!! That is so hard to believe! Y’all, set your sights on the finish line because I can almost see if over the next “hill”. ?? One of my all time favorite portions of Scripture when it comes to walking comes from Psalm 1. We are called BLESSED when we walk NOT in the counsel of the ungodly… BUT delight in the law/Word of The Lord, making His Word our meditation DAY AND NIGHT! As you journey forward on your spiritual race, are you doing this? Are you steering clear of the counsel of the ungodly and making God’s Word your mediation day and night?? Is His Word your delight? We are told in Psalm 119:105 that “Thy WORD is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” And Proverbs 6 says that obedience to God’s Word will keep us from walking in the steps of the ungodly. “For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life…”(Prov 6:23-24)! Just like you wouldn’t go out for a Spring100 walk in the darkest of nights through alligator laden swamps without a strong flash-light?, we shouldn’t run the race of life without the Light of God’s Word eliminating our path every step of the way. SO I want to encourage you to make the Word of God your continual delight and meditate on it DAY AND NIGHT! Have fun walking week 8 of the Spring100!! ??♀️

“I have set the LORD always before me: because HE is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.“
Psalm 16:8
Rosie A.
Spring100 has turned out to be a little pocket of blessings for my brother and me. But one thing I have probably loved most is the extra mental clarity and energy I’ve found it gives me the rest of the day when I’ve taken a brisk morning walk. For lots of studying and projects to work on every day, this has been a big help!
I am continually praising God for this small break in each day, and am so thankful to get to be a part of this community of fellow walkers, runners, and hikers!
Rachel
Praising the Lord to hear this has given you more energy and mental clarity!! SO happy to hear this!! I find the same exact thing happens for me when I get my morning walk in. Great job, Rosie!! Keep up the wonderful walking! ??♀️❤️
Amanda
So many wonderful pictures this week!! ? And congratulations to those who have already reached the 100 mile mark! Wow!
My favorite thing about Spring100 has been the fellowship. It’s been so much fun to get to see everyone else’s pictures and progress and to know that we are not doing this alone! ?
Amanda
Also, Harbour and Bullington ladies – so good to see you’re smiling faces! ?❤️❤️
Rachel
So happy to have you a part of the challenge this year, Amanda! ??
Anna
My favorite part of the Spring 100 has been spending time with my mom and my sister, as well as our neighbor.? Also, it’s soooo nice to know that there are lots of others walking with us, even though we may be many miles away!
Thank you, Rachel for the encouraging post!☺️
And to the others: thank you to those who sent in photos, they make the posts even more fun and interesting! Keep up the hard work, because I KNOW you can do it!!!?
Rachel
Thank you Anna for your encouraging comments! ?❤️
Anna
Aww! ????
Sarah
My favorite thing has been the 100Mile Monday posts and recognizing friends and familiar faces in all the pictures!? Also, something else I have loved about Spring100 is that it has shown me that walking 1 to 2 miles a day is a rewarding habit to get into, and I can’t wait to continue doing so even after Spring100 is done!
Loved seeing all the pictures this week!
Rachel
Yay!! So glad you will continue on even after the Spring100 ends. That is such a great habit to get into! ???
Rebekah D.
Great job Rachel and Heather on the run!
Something I have enjoyed this year is having running/walking partners that are focused on edifying conversation. As our church has not been able to meet the past seven weeks, Spring100 has been a nice way to have some much needed fellowship!
Rachel
Aw, praise the Lord! So thankful this has offered a source of fellowship during a time when that is limited!! Keep up the great work, Rebekah! ??♀️?
Lori C
I have enjoyed walking with my kids, especially while telling round robin stories. It helps them pass the time!
Rachel
Such a fun way to pass the time! Love having you here, Lori!! ❤️
Ruth Carnehl
It has been such a great blessing to be intentional to get out and walk, whether catching up with a friend, walking with family, taking the dogs out, or just wanting to enjoy God and all the Beauty of His creation… God has been good! Thank you all for sharing how you’ve been blessed and pressing eachother on to the goal… of Christ in us, the Hope of glory!
Also, it was so nice to see the Cooks were able to meet up this week! ?
Be blessed y’all, Christ’s life and love is deeper still….
Ruth C
Ruth Cook
Hi Ruth Carnehl!
Hello, name buddy! 😀 Yes, we thoroughly enjoyed getting to see part of our family that day. 🙂
Thanks for the greeting and the reminder. <3 Blessings to you as well!
~Ruth
Rachel
I hope you continue to enjoy this challenge, Ruth!! Keep up the fabulous walking. May the Lord encourage and energize you through it!! ??
Abigail Warkentin
My favorite thing has been just getting out every day and getting excercise! 1 or 2 miles every day may seem like quite a bit, but it actually doesn’t take that long! I look forward to continue walking (and running!) evan after Spring100 is over! And the pictures of other ‘walkers’ just encourage you that you are not alone and can get to the finish line??
Rachel
SOooooo happy you will be continuing your walking even after the challenge has ended!! That is great. ???
Andrew A.
I have really enjoyed getting out into God’s creation to get some exercise with my brother Caleb. It has been very refreshing to be able to breath in fresh air after staying inside for most of the day. I have been encouraged by all those who are participating in the Spring 100 and the testimonies that they have shared.
P.S. Isa 40:31 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.
Andrew Austin
Rachel
So great to hear from you, Andrew!! Thankful you’ve been encouraged by this challenge. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!! ????
Kina Lamb
The best thing has been memorizing the Psalms as I walk along. That has been a treasure beyond measure. It’s what motivates me to walk every day. 😀
Rachel
That is truly a treasure! LOVE it. Great job Kina!!
shericlaude
The pictures are such a blessing: from God’s people, to God’s creation! I have also been edified and delighted by all the video submissions these past weeks. Great job editing, Rachel!
Rachel, amen to the fact that God’s Word is a lamp to our feet! God has given to us, “all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”
2 Peter 1:3-4. God’s redeemed are never without help, unless we ignore the means of prayer and the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit that testifies of the Bible and applies the words to our hearts.
My favorite thing this Spring100 has been getting to be with my friend, Gita. We both live alone, so we have been able to encourage each other daily during this time of social distancing. Imagine going without human touch for weeks at a time because you live alone! It’s been difficult.
Praise God for His grace!
Rachel
Aw, thank you so much Sheri!!! I enjoy editing them!! Ooooh! Love 2 Peter 1:3-4. Thank you for continually encouraging us with your comments that hold God’s Truth. SO SO SO thankful you and Gita had each other’s daily company during the social distancing. Praise the Lord indeed!! ??
Caroline Flournoy
The Spring100 has been a blessing to me in many ways… I have really been wanting to exercise more but I was just so busy that I didn’t really take
time to do it… Kina Lamb told me about this and at first I didn’t know if I could do it because I was so busy with everything else that was
happening in my life but after thinking about it for a couple days I decided to do it and just make time for it and I am SO glad that I chose to
do it. I love all the online fellowship and all the people keeping each other accountable(and all the fun and interesting questions you ask).
I love just getting out and taking time to get out in God’s beautiful world that He’s given us! The fresh air really does make me feel good and
I love to just think or sing while I’m walking. 🙂 I’m the only one in my family who is doing the challenge but my siblings love to come and walk
or run with me and it’s really fun to get to talk with them and spend time with them. 🙂 I’ve had several very good edifying conversations with
one of my older sisters who has walked with me several times and it’s fun to talk together and build our relationship more. And even though
I’m very busy and I thought I wouldn’t have time it has been pretty easy to find time to walk and run and it’s so nice! I usually try to walk 2
miles every time I go out but that doesn’t always work but I make up for it the next time I go walking by walking more…the most I’ve
walked/run at once is 4 miles, intermittently walking,jogging and running. 🙂 the weather here has been pretty nice for walking and I just love
to walk and enjoy the beautiful sun and breeze. 🙂 I’ve walked in the rain several times and it’s actually pretty fun! 😉 I actually walked 2 of the
4 miles I walked at once with my older sister I mentioned above in the rain(we each had our own umbrella) and we talked the whole 4 miles! it
was a very good conversation. 🙂 the coldest weather I’ve had to walk in is 25 degrees but I ran the whole way and that kept me pretty warm.
I just love all the exercise I’m getting and I also love challenge’s. I DO NOT regret signing up for it and I really want to do it again next year! 🙂 it
has been a big blessing to me 🙂 Thank you Kina for telling me about this! 🙂 😀 Wow. :0 this is longer than I meant it to be. 😀 I hope it all makes sense. 😉 Happy walking and running for week 8 everyone!! 😀
And let us run with endurance…looking unto Jesus,the author and finisher of our faith.

Rachel
Caroline! I LOOOOOOOOOOVED your note. When it comes to comments, I believe the long the better! ??? “I DO NOT regret signing up” PRAISING THE LORD to hear this!!! It’s my prayer that this challenge would not be a burden to anyone but a huge blessing spiritually and physical. Your comment encouraged me, your pictures brighten my day, and you video was fabulous! Thank you again!Keep up the fabulous walking/running! ????
Caroline Flournoy
hmm…I’m not sure why my comment is formatted like that. I didn’t write it out in that format. I hope you can still decipher it. 🙂
Anna
Caroline….
Yes, I can definitely decipher your comment! It was fun for me to read an extra long comment. Keep up the good work with your walking! ?
shericlaude
Not a problem, Caroline. It’s readable. Thanks for including a video as well as the photo with your brother. 🙂
Kyra Rose
I have loved doing this challenge! It has been so great to get outside and think, pray, listen to music, or talk to siblings!! Thanks so much for hosting spring 100!!!!?
J Lodi
The Spring 100 has given my family and I the motivation to spend time walking together regularly; The increased family time and mutual enjoyment of God’s creation has been my favorite part.
Ruth
Great post!
The video was one of my favorites!!! Thank you Tisha and Carolyne!!
My favorite part about Spring 100 this far has been being able to get out and relax for a little while every day (usually in the evenings). I have also enjoyed being able to get out and enjoy all the great spring weather we’ve been having!??❤️
Good job on week 7 everyone!
Philippians 1:6
