Spring100 MILE LOG
βAnd 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 Christβs sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.β 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
Here we are with 6 days remaining in this yearβs 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.ππΌπ Youβve rounded the corner and the finish line is in sightβ¦. Set your eyes on the prize and RUN!!!!! We are cheering you on. Find your strength in the Lordβ¦. YOU CAN DO THIS! ππΌββοΈ I donβt know how weβve even gotten here but I am amazed! Amazed by the Lordβs 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. Itβs True! A verse that has come to mind is Acts 17:28, βFor in him we live, and move, and have our beingβ¦β So my friends, letβs finish the last 6 days strong and singing the Lordβs praise. Iβll be seeing you at the finish line!
IMPORTANT INFO PLEASE READ
β Your final day to walk Spring100 miles is Sunday, June 20th (the last day of Spring)!!!
β Our next post will be the FINAL 100MileMonday for 2021. This will be our Spring100 Finish Line Grand Finally! That post is going to be one of the most important posts to read through and follow instructions very carefully as it holds our final Mile Log and the Confirmation “Finish Line” Form for those who finished 100+ miles for the Spring100 Challenge!

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? ππ» 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. Letβs encourage them on in the Lord! ππΌββοΈππ»ββοΈππ½ββοΈππΌ

Happy Birthday, Gita! π
For this 100MileMonday post, I’m doing something a little different!! βΊοΈToday, 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.π Her testimony of Godβs faithfulness throughout her entire life is such a blessing! Todayβs post is dedicated to Gita, a fellow Spring100 walker, encourager, inspiration, and sister in Christ! Happy Birthday, Gita!! ππΌββοΈπ 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, Estoniaβs capital where she lived, Gita and what was left of her family fled the country the evening before Russia invaded. TheyΒ sailed away on a hospital ship called the Moero. But the next morning, out in the Baltic Sea,Β the Moero was torpedoed by Russian planes, and sank in about 6 minutes, taking nearlyΒ 4,000 peopleΒ onboard down with it, including her first husband. TheyΒ had been married only one year. Gita and her younger brother, Erich,Β managed to jump from the sinking ship into separate large life preservers. Gitaβs wasΒ filled with other people, but her brotherβs 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 personβs camp, and she learned fromΒ witnesses on another rescue shipΒ that the βyoung man in a life ring with only two menβ had fallen from the knotted rescue line they threw to him, and he had been sucked into the shipβs 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;Β 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?? π₯³π

βWherefore 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.β Hebrews 12:1-2
βI can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.β Phil 4:13

βThe 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.β 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 βWherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnessesβ. 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 Godβs 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 Godβs 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. π 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?? Donβt leave without answering below. Canβt wait to see who yβall 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!

“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! ππ» We have officially made it past the halfway mark for this Spring100 and I’m beginning to see that finish line ahead!! ππΌββοΈππ»ββοΈ How was has the past week of walking/running gone for you?? Keep your eyes set on the prize. π₯ 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! ππΌββοΈπ―

βWherefore 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.β Hebrews 12:1-2
