“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 3:13-14

Today is the final 2021 Spring100 post! 💯🏃🏼🏃🏻‍♀️ Thank the Lord, here we are all “meeting” at the finish line after a fabulous 100-mile walking challenge!! There are so many of you here and I am amazed at what the Lord has done this Spring100 season. 92 days, HUNDREDS of fellow walkers participating in 7+ different countries, and thousands of miles walked… Well done everyone!!🙌🏻 To God alone be all glory! For those who faithfully participated but were not able to meet the 100-mile goal, we are giving YOU a huge round of applause for your dedication and perseverance.👏🏼 👏🏼 REMEMBER, “bodily 👏🏼exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.” This is just a physical challenge that is intended to encourage you in the spiritual race you are daily participating in. Run with endurance in the strength of the Lord, setting your eyes on Jesus Christ, the Author, and FINISHER of our faith!! For those who made it 100+ miles, CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉 A fun goal of 100+ miles was set, many obstacles were overcome, and by the grace of God, YOU MADE IT! Please be careful and diligently read the instructions below. If you finished 100+ miles this Spring100, there is a Finish Line Form below for you to fill out in order to obtain your 2021 Spring100 T-shirt!

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience 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 is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.  For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.”
Hebrews 12:1-3

Spring100 MILE LOG



“And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.”
2 Corinthians 12:9-10

Here we are with 6 days remaining in this year’s Spring100! Sunday, June 20th is the FINAL day to grab your miles for the 2021 Spring100! 6 days left to walk and meet your 100-mile goal or add to the 100+ miles you have already walked.👏🏼🎉 You’ve rounded the corner and the finish line is in sight…. Set your eyes on the prize and RUN!!!!! We are cheering you on. Find your strength in the Lord…. YOU CAN DO THIS! 🙋🏼‍♀️ I don’t know how we’ve even gotten here but I am amazed! Amazed by the Lord’s goodness, strength, and grace which has been so evident in each Spring100er as I watch you all nearing and crossing the finish line! Whether you are one of our youngest walkers at age 3 or our oldest at age 100, every step walked in this Spring100 has been a gift from God. It’s True! A verse that has come to mind is Acts 17:28, “For in him we live, and move, and have our being…” So my friends, let’s finish the last 6 days strong and singing the Lord’s praise. I’ll be seeing you at the finish line!

WEEK 13 QUESTION:

1.) I am swapping the question of the week out with a request! Would you take a moment and give fellow Spring100ers who have just a few miles or maybe what seems an “impossible number” of miles left a good dose of encouragement? 🙌🏻 So many have finished BUT many are still working hard to make it to the finish line. From injuries to busy schedules to the unexpected that finds its way into our Spring days, getting behind happens. Let’s encourage them on in the Lord! 🙋🏼‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏼

Mile Log



“Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works” Hebrews‬ ‭10:22-24‬ ‭

Happy Birthday, Gita! 💝

For this 100MileMonday post, I’m doing something a little different!! ☺️Today, we are having a Spring100 birthday celebration!! Gita is our oldest Spring100 walker and celebrated her 100th birthday this past Saturday! Do you want to hear something amazing? Gita has already finished her 100 miles for Spring100!! I am so blessed to have Gita a part of this challenge.💕 Her testimony of God’s faithfulness throughout her entire life is such a blessing! Today’s post is dedicated to Gita, a fellow Spring100 walker, encourager, inspiration, and sister in Christ! Happy Birthday, Gita!! 🙋🏼‍♀️🎉 I am excited to share her amazing story shared with me by her dear friend Sheri:

When Gita was a young woman, Russian soldiers invaded her country of Estonia. After she endured and survived many weeks of constant bombing of Tallinn, Estonia’s capital where she lived, Gita and what was left of her family fled the country the evening before Russia invaded. They sailed away on a hospital ship called the Moero. But the next morning, out in the Baltic Sea, the Moero was torpedoed by Russian planes, and sank in about 6 minutes, taking nearly 4,000 people onboard down with it, including her first husband. They had been married only one year. Gita and her younger brother, Erich, managed to jump from the sinking ship into separate large life preservers. Gita’s was filled with other people, but her brother’s had only one other man in it. Erich had dreamed the night before that the ship would be sunk and he would die!
Gita life preserver floated away from the 3 boats that came to rescue survivors. After floating in the freezing water for 4 hours, they were picked up by a German U-boat (submarine) and taken to what was then called Gdansk, Poland. Her brother never showed up at the displaced person’s camp, and she learned from witnesses on another rescue ship that the “young man in a life ring with only two men” had fallen from the knotted rescue line they threw to him, and he had been sucked into the ship’s propeller. Gita was devastated. He was her final family member, except for her grandmother who was still in Estonia. She never saw her grandmother again, either.
Gita wandered from one country to the next with no home, no family, no nation; but God always sustained her with several miracles, pulling her from certain death time after time. Finally, she ended up behind the American lines and when WW2 ended, she met an officer that would become her husband and bring her to America! She had 6 children, got saved, and was part of a group of 5 people that started my church back in 1970. She loves the Lord with all her heart, and still serves Him, baking cookies and cakes as gifts for many people, old and young alike. AND she gardens with the flowers she loves!

“The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:
The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.”
Numbers 6:24-26

Week 12 Question:

Not a question today BUT a request!! Would each of you wish Gita a happy 100th birthday in the comment section below?? 🥳💝

Well, we’ve made it through week 10 and are plunging into week 11 of the 2021 Spring100!! 🙌🏻 Spring100 ends on June 20th. We have just 26 days to complete this fun challenge! How was week 10 for you?? As I go through Proverbs this week, Proverbs 4:18 jumped off the page and was the perfect fit for today’s post! “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day”. I am blessed by the truth that as children of the Lord God, our path brightly lit before us! The Lord does not leave us walking in the dark nor does He leave us to be our own guides. In Psalm 48:14 it says, “For this God is our God for ever and ever: He will be our guide even unto death.” And we are told in Job 23:10, “The Lord knows the paths that we take…” He leads us by the hand(Is 41:13) and as we trust in and acknowledge Him, He promises to direct our paths (Proverb 3:5-6). “And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.” Isaiah 30:21! So with a bit of encouragement from God’s Word, who is ready to conquer week 11 of the SPRING100? I am seeing so many cross the finish line and excited to see the rest of you hit that 100-mile goal!! 🙋🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏽‍♂️

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience 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 is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:1-2

Week 9! || 100MileMonday

“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.”
Psalm 28:7

How was week 9 of the Spring100 for you all??? If my calculations are correct, we have only 33 days left in this challenge! The end is in sight and so many are there waiting to see us cross the finish line! As I go through Hebrews 12 each week, I am reminded of verse 1 where it says “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses”. These witnesses are men and women who have finished the race, who have run with endurance, and left a lasting testimony! These witnesses are not those who have witnessed their own faithfulness or strength in running BUT God’s faithfulness and strength working through them. 1 Corinthians 1:27 puts it so beautifully, “…God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty”. Whether it be Corrie Ten Boom, Eric Liddell, the Apostle Paul, Daniel, King David, Abraham, or Abel- their testimony points us to God’s faithfulness in their lives and HIS strength made perfect in weakness[2 Cor 12:8-10]! I love these verses from Hebrews 11 where it says, “And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions. Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong….”(Heb 11:32-34) As we look to these men and women, we are pointed to the grace and strength of our Lord and Savior. 🙂 By His grace, they fought the good fight, they conquered, they finished the race, and they kept the faith[2 Timothy 4:7-8]!! So, are you ready to conquer week 10 of the Spring100 and the race of life? “I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.” Ps 71:16!! Let’s press forward in the strength & grace of the Lord!

Week 9 QUESTIONS:

1.) If you could walk a mile with any past Christian in history, who would it be and why?? Don’t leave without answering below. Can’t wait to see who y’all choose!!

2.) If you are following along with the Spring100 Reading Plan, we’ve made our way through Ephesians and most of Philippians! I would love to hear which chapter and verses encouraged your heart this week!!

ARE YOU BEHIND?? You still have time to catch up! Even if you haven’t started walking your first Spring100 mile yet, you can still easily reach the 100 Mile goal by June 20th!! If you still have all 100 miles to walk, an easy 3.1 miles each day will get you to the finish line on time. Break your walks up into 2 different walks daily to make it a doable and easy challenge!

This Week’s Spring100 Scripture Reading Plan-MAY 17th through May 23rd:

Monday: Philippians 3-4
Tuesday: 1 Thessalonians 1
Wednesday: 1 Thessalonians 2
•Thursday: 1 Thessalonians 3

“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?”
Micah 6:8

Well, congratulations to each one of you! 🙌🏻 We have officially made it past the halfway mark for this Spring100 and I’m beginning to see that finish line ahead!! 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️ How was has the past week of walking/running gone for you?? Keep your eyes set on the prize. 🥇 We are so very close! This week, as we set out to grab our week 9 Spring100 miles and serve the Lord in every area of life, let’s take Micah 6:8 with us! If you haven’t memorized this verse from God’s Word, I urge you to do so. Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly… WALK HUMBLY with thy God! The command to walk humbly always takes my mind to James 4:6 where we are told “But He giveth more grace. Wherefore He saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” and then a few verses later James says, “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up.” I don’t know about you, but I desire that “more grace” that the Lord God gives to the humble. As I walk my miles this week, I am praying that I would be “clothed in humility” and that I would walk humbly with the Lord my God. “Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.” 1 Peter 5:5. May we seek to Do Justly, Love Mercy, and Walk Humbly for week 9 of the 2021 Spring100… HAPPY WALKING Y’ALL! 🙋🏼‍♀️💯

Week 7!! 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️ || 100 Mile Monday

“Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength.”

Featured Spring100 Photographer: Caroline Flournoy

“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.”
Isaiah 40:31

Here we are!!🙌🏻 Week 7 has been accomplished by the grace of God and we’ve entered week 8. This week we will pass the “Halfway Mark” of the 2021 Spring100! This 93-day challenge is halfway over and to each and every one of you who have persevered and pressed forward, conquering one mile at a time, WAY TO GO!! If you are behind, you have plenty of time to catch up. 🙏🏼 And some pretty exciting news… if for some reason, you have not been able to even begin your miles yet(pregnancy, broken bones, sickness, travel, work, etc.) YOU can still make it to the finish line on time! If you have walked zero miles for the Spring100, a simple goal of 2.2 miles each day will get you caught up and to the finish line on time. I can’t wait to see you there. This week, I am meditating on Isaiah 40 as I enjoy my spring100 walks. Verse 29 says, “He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength.” and in verse 31 we are told that as we wait upon the Lord we “shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Aren’t you thankful that Lord God gives power to the faint? I sure am!! For those who are feeling spiritually and/or physically faint and weary this week, I am earnestly praying the Lord will renew your strength! As we go through the reading plan, I was blessed by the reminder found in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” With that blessed truth from God’s Word, let’s go conquer week 8 in the strength of the Lord. Happy Walking/Running y’all! 🙋🏼‍♀️

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience 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 is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

“O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.”
Psalm 43:3

CONGRATULATIONS to each and every one of you!! We’ve made it through week 6 of Spring100. SO many of you are overcoming huge obstacles (broken toes, pregnancy fatigue, and busy life🙈) to get your miles in and cross the finish line. I praise the Lord for you and am so encouraged by your perseverance! KEEP IT UP. 👏🏼💯🎉

Aren’t you glad that the Lord GOD leads us as we run the race of life? I think one of my favorite reminders, as I walk my Spring100 miles, is how utterly important hiding the Word of God in my heart is. I cannot even really begin to stress the importance of this! I love “night walks” when it’s dark out and the sky is filled to the brim with stars and a bright moon revealing the path before me but have you tried to walk in the darkest of nights without the light? If you are like me, you continually grope in front of you, always unsure and always fearing what may cause you to stumble and break an ankle🙊😉. Psalm 119 says, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” The Word of God illuminates the path before us!! Just like I shouldn’t try to run through a rugged, thorn-infested mountain trail in the darkest of nights without a headlamp, I should try to run this race set before me or navigate through this “crooked and perverse generation”(Phil 2:15) without the Word of God continually illuminating my path! I once read “The Bible is our road map for living, dying, and living again”. We are strictly warned in Proverbs 14:12 that “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” and then told in Psalm 119:9 exactly how we can keep our way pure as it says, “How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word.” Remember Psalm 1 as it says, “BLESSED is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly… But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.”? Blessed is the man. ☺️ As we enter this next week, let’s take these truths from God’s Word with us and Hid His Word in our Heart. It is the light that will illuminate our path… His Holy inerrant Word is our roadmap to life! And how is this for a promise, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” Perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. Praise The Lord! 🙌🏻 May His Word be our day and night meditation. Happy Walking for week 7 y’all!🙋🏼‍♀️

Spring100er Cindy writes, “I went with my son Kyle to the Superstition Mountains near Phoenix, AZ on a three day backpacking trip. We hiked almost 30 miles with backpacks weighing over 30 pounds! Total elevation climbed was 4800 feet. It was a tough hike. 😃” WAY TO GO!!!!!!🙌🏻

Spring100er Ruthie S. writes “This week I took your challenge!  I ended up walking 3 miles carrying my youngest sister Lydia!

Spring100er Hilary writes, “Me and Harley back on track this week with 30 extra lbs in the pack.  It was a great time of reflection on extra spiritual baggage and yes, what a relief to take it off!” Way to go, Hilary. So thankful this was a great reminder for you!🙌🏻 Amanda S says, “I had to settle for a lighter load for the weighted walk challenge due to my shoulder being messed up, so George worked out purr-fectly! 😁” Great job, ladies!!

Spring100er Alyssa T. says, ” While I haven’t been counting the distance I walk on campus towards my Spring 100 mileage, I have regularly been walking several miles each week around campus with my cello and violin in tow! ” I can imagine unloading that weight is a huge relief.

If your photo didn’t make it in this week’s post, keep on snapping and sending in photos from your Spring100 walks. I can’t wait to feature YOU! Y’all enjoy week 7 of the Spring100.🙋🏼‍♀️💯
