WEEK 12 MILEAGE FORM

…………………………

“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

Wow, we are so close to the finish line! So many of you have finished and are waiting to cheer on fellow Spring100ers who are approaching the finish line. THANK YOU!! That means so much. Many others are persevering and pushing themselves, overcoming obstacles, accomplishing LOTS of miles to cross the finish line 100 miles strong. KEEP IT UP!! You are so very close.

WEEK 8 MILEAGE FORM

…………………………

“Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not”
2 Corinthians 4:1

Here we are at week 9  of the Spring100!! ?? How was week 8 for you all? As we move forward and enter week 9, we will find many distractions that will threaten to hinder us from meeting our walking/running goals BUT don’t lose heart and don’t give up.  You can do it!! Just like in our physical exercise, we are going to find “distractions” that threaten to hinder us from running with endurance in our spiritual race too!

Distraction:a thing that prevents someone from giving full attention to something else.
“And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.” 1 Cor 7:35

We are told to run in such a way that we may obtain the prize[1 Cor 9:24]! We are called to run with everything in us to the finish line, keeping our eyes focused on that which is not only our Prize but also our fuel for the race, Jesus Christ[Heb 12:2]! In our race of life, there are two things that will hold us back and we are told to cast them off, one of which is weight! We read in Hebrews 12:1 that we are to LAY ASIDE EVERY WEIGHT [distraction] that hinders us from running the race before us with endurance. “…let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us…” This weight/distraction will hold us back and keep us from running to our fullest potential! Weight can be something that is obviously sinful or something that is completely decent IF used rightly! Weight/Distraction can come in many harmful forms BUT ALSO many harmless forms that we allow to consume us such as the books we read, hobbies,  devices??, social networking, desires you want accomplished in your life, etc.. All can be decent and used rightly BUT when you find they are distracting you from spiritually running with endurance and keeping your eyes set on Jesus Christ, they become weights that holds you back and must be laid aside. I like how John Gill commentary describes a spiritual weight as a “great hinderance in the work and service of God, and therefore to be laid aside; not that they are to be entirely rejected, and not cared for and used, but the heart should not be set upon them, or be over anxious about them”.

 ^“I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:  But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection…”
1 Corinthians 9:26-27

Soooo, I have a challenge for you this week!? Take a backpack and  fill it with 10 pounds of any type of item[full water bottles, canned goods, weighted barbell, a couple of bricks] then walk/run a Spring100 mile with that backpack on. Yes, it sounds crazy but it will be extremely insightful[if you take me up on this challenge, send pictures to prove it ? ]! You will see how quickly a little weight will wear you out and hinder you from walking/running your fastest. I often do this with a 15 pound weighted pole laid across my shoulders. This helps me understand just how much a little weight can really weigh me down and burden me physically. This helps me remember how the same is true with me spiritually! Then when I finally lay that physical weight down, I find I am able to run/walk with much more endurance and stamina. As you walk your Spring100 mile with this weighted backpack on, spend a few minutes praying that the Lord would reveal any sin and spiritual weight/distractions in your life that may be weighing you down and hindering you from setting your focus on Him. Then pray that He would give you the grace  and strength to lay the weight/distraction aside so that you may be able to more fully run with endurance! I am praying for each of you during this next week. ?? May we seek to honor the Lord in our every thought and deed as we run the race before us. Have fun with week 9 y’all!?

Week 9 QUESTION:  If you could walk the Spring100 with any historical figure, who would it be and why?? Don’t leave without answering below. Can’t wait to see who y’all choose!!

????As always, these posts are made possible by YOU!! Your photo submissions and comments make these post extremely fun and exciting so don’t leave without commenting and remember to send in your Spring100 walking/running photos to be featured! Email to Spring100@shilohPhotography.com

“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

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
Phil 4:13

WEEK 6 MILEAGE FORM

…………………………

“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

Y’all! We are at week 7, the HALF WAY week for the SPRING100!!??  We have just about 50 days left to walk.  For those who are right on track with their mileage or even ahead, KEEP ON GOING! ?? The next 7 weeks will most likely be a little more challenging as life gets super busy for everyone with summer drawing near.  For those who are finding they are behind on miles, YOU CAN DO IT!?? If you are behind[even if you are really really behind], with diligence, endurance and a little sacrifice, you can still easily catch up. We are called to spiritually discipline ourselves, continue on with endurance, and sacrifice in the spiritual race we run as we set our eyes on the incorruptible prize and  the same will be true physically for this Spring challenge! It’s going to take sacrifice and discipline for each of us as we set our eyes on that 100 mile[June 20th!!] Finish Line, whether we are right on track or majorly behind.  BUT in God’s Strength we can do it!! Find an encouraging walking buddy, set goals, and conquer the Spring100… 1 mile at a time by God’s grace! So, who is ready for another 7 weeks?! Let’s do it!??

How about a little Half way mark GIVEAWAY!!?????

WEEK 5 MILEAGE FORM

…………………………

“Righteousness shall go before Him; and shall set us in the way of His steps”
Psalm 85:13

How was week 5 of the Spring100 for everyone?? How are you doing keep up with those miles?? We are nearly half way at week 6 and I am super excited about week 7 post which we will be celebrating the half way mark with some fun!!? So be ready. Week 5 of the Spring100 was completely unexpected for me!? I had all my ducks in a row with a week perfectly planned out to a T  and I took off running. Then the unexpected happened and my entire week’s worth of plans were washed, my route was suddenly redirected. Yep, you guessed it… I got the flu!?  It was in that instant that I was reminded of Proverbs 16:9, “A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.”  We are told in Proverbs 3 to “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge HIM“ and as we do so we are promised “HE shall direct thy paths.”  Aren’t you thankful the Lord directs our steps as we set out on the race of life and we don’t run on our own navigation? I am!? Isn’t it amazing that  we can leave the path we take up to Him, fully trusting He will point us in the direction we should go and skillfully guide us every step of the way?! Isaiah 58:11 promises “And the LORD shall guide thee continually…” CONTINUALLY. That is a promise! One of my favorite verses[okay so I have a few hundred?] is Psalm 32:8,  “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with Mine eye.” SOoooo, if you are feeling like life is just not going the direction you had intended as you run the race set before you, stop leaning on your own understanding. 😉  Trust in the Lord and fully commit your way to Him. He will ever-so-skillfully guide you on the perfect path[Ps 18:30]!? Okay, let’s conquer this new week of walking/running together across the miles[4 different countries… y’all this is a BIG and energetic group of people!]. Have fun with Spring100 week 6, and keep up the FANTASTIC WORK!???

Week 6 QUESTION: ??Any of you had to push through sickness during the Spring100? Or sprained ankles, sore knees, 😉 random forms of discomfort?? Comment below!↓ LOVING all your answers lately. Y’all are making these posts tons of fun!

??Remember!!  The best way to get involved and encourage fellow Spring100ers is by weekly sending in photos to of yourself during your walks and commenting below!  Spring100@shilohPhotography.com!

The second picture is me out by myself in the early morning…I don’t think the cattle knew what to make of “just me.” ?” Way to go, Kendalyn. Keep up the fantastic work! ??

WEEK 4 MILEAGE FORM

…………………………

“ It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places.”
Psalm 18:32-33

How was week 4 of the Spring100 for you all?? It’s been a blessed week of walking for me. We had quite the weather roller-coaster here in North East Texas! ?☔❄☀ I love Psalm 18 and verses 32-33 are perfect as we enter a new week. This portion of Psalm 18 is my go-to when I feel “too tired” or lack motivation! It is going to be the Lord who gives us the strength to spiritually run with endurance and physically finish this Spring100 challenge strong. He makes our way perfect! So, if you find you’re getting tired and lacking endurance, look steadfastly to the Lord and He will renew your strength! He makes our feet like hinds feet and sets us on high places.  That’s an incredible promise! This week’s verses on the Spring100 calendar are 1 Corinthians 9:24-25, “Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.  And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.” Pretty amazing, isn’t it?! In God’s strength, let’s run to win.  I am praying for each of you this new week of the SPRING100. Have fun walking/running week 5!!??

Week 5 QUESTION: What would your dream location be to walk the Spring100? The Rocky Mountains?  Amazon Rain forest? North Pole?? Or ??? Don’t leave without answering below!! Can’t wait to see your answers!!

??Remember!! So many great pictures but still so many members who have yet to send in their photo. The SPRING100 is a community and we want to hear from YOU! The best way to get involved and encourage fellow Spring100ers is by weekly sending in photos to of yourself during your walks and commenting below!  Spring100@shilohPhotography.com!

Romans 9:1

Psalm 119:32-33

Oh my, it’s been a blustery cold week for everyone doing the Spring100 here in the USA this week! How is that for April weather? 😉 So many of you have overcome snowstorms, rain, and freezing temperatures to tackle your miles for 3 week.  ☔❄ I’m so encouraged by YOUR dedication! I’ve been thinking about the race the Lord sets us on and how His Word is a light for our path. “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”Ps 119:105. ??Who would run a rocky unknown mountain trail in the dark without a head lamp? ? Not me!!!  By His Word illuminating our path, we will be able to navigate through this race of life[2 Tim 3:16]. As we enter week 4 of the Spring100 and you set out to get those walking miles in, I  want to challenge you all to more diligently hide God’s Word in your heart and make It your delight[Ps 1:1-2]!  Memorize, listen to, read think about, and make it your 24/7 meditation. Do exactly what Psalm 119:32 says, “I WILL RUN the way of THY commandments“! So who is with me? Come rain or shine, let’s conquer week 4 of the Spring100! Have fun!!???

  ??QUESTION for this week!!   What is your favorite time of day to walk/run? I would LOVE to hear YOUR answer in the comment section below SO don’t leave until you’ve left one. ?
