There are many things I like about running. I love the feeling of wanting to quit and walk about not walking because you know that at the end you will regret walking. The Christian life is a lot like cross country..... You have parts in your race that are flat. You feel like you are on your safe ground. Then There's the hill. It is hard getting up. You have to find that energy within and you may just want to walk. Then you get to the top and you realize that you are stronger because of that hill and your adrenaline helped. There are different paths you can take. Not everyone has the same path to take. If you look closely, you can see they are always marked so you know what one to take. There are the fans that are cheering you on, yet the crowd that is trying to bring you down. Then you start to see the finish. You get to the finish and get the reward of finishing. The reward is spending the rest of eternity with our heavenly father!
If you haven't already, it is time to put on your running shoes. Come join me in the race!
