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.”

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!!

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!

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! ??

“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 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!!

 ^“I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.  Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.”
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!!???

WEEK 2 MILEAGE FORM

…………………………

“Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.”
Psalm 128:1

??Did you get your miles logged? Good, now we can move on to the fun! 😉 How was week 2 for you? From the pictures received, it looks like I wasn’t the only one walking in rain this week. 😉 April is here so don’t forget to print your Spring100 April Calendar. For week 3 I chose Psalm 86:11 as the verses I will be meditating on as I walk! It says, “Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.“ This verse is one of my all-time favorite verses to recite during my walks. “unite my heart to fear THY NAME”! ? We are told that the fear of the Lord  leads to life[Prov 19:23], blessings abundant[Ps 115:13], wisdom[Prov 1:7»Prov 9:10], and satisfaction. “The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.”Prov 19:23! This week I strongly encourage y’all to memorize and meditate on Psalm 86:11 during your walks/runs. I have been so encouraged to hear so many of you are using your Spring100 miles to recite, listen to, and memorize God’s Word! Hearing this us a huge blessing for me. Way to go!! So, who is ready to conquer week 3 of the Spring100?! I am praying it’ll be a blessed and encouraging week for each of you. Have fun!!??

Anna from OK grabbed a shot of her Spring100 wildflower bouquet and Micah is looking rosie as she accomplishes her miles! ❤

In between swap meats and auctions, Joel grabbed most of his miles on the road this week! Wonderful job!

And yes, I have a few walking buddies this week… but that’s for another post[stay tuned!!] Happy walking/running y’all!

“And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”

I have been and will be praying for each of you during this Challenge. It’s my hope and prayer that this will not just be a fun physical activity but also a spiritual encouragement for the glory of God as we set our eyes on Jesus Christ[Heb 12:1-3]!

WEEK 1 MILEAGE FORM

“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 12:2

As I walk the Spring100 miles each week, it’s a great reminder for me of our spiritual race we are set on.  Hebrews 12:2 has been on my mind all week!We are called to run this race set before with endurance in Hebrews 12 but this is only possible as we steadfastly set our eyes on Jesus Christ, finding our strength in Him alone!  One of my favorite verses in Ps 118 is “The LORD is my STRENGTH and song, and is become my salvation.” Have you set your gaze upon Christ?  Are you looking to Him only for your strength, your joy, and your salvation?  If you are looking to any other for endurance to run this race you will fail.  It is in Christ alone and by His great, endless strength and grace that we will joyfully run with endurance the spiritual race set before us! He is our Joy[Psalm 43:4], our Strength[Ps 28:7], and He is our Salvation[Is 12:2].  Let’s set our eyes steadfastly on Christ, the author and finisher of our faith and run with endurance!! ?  Enjoy walking/running week 2 of the Spring100 y’all??
