My competition in training or a race is not all the other runners - my competition is that little voice in my head that tells me I should quit.
For truly I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move from here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. Matthew 17:20 NRSV

Moving foward

Every day at work I turn my computer on and the Upper Room Devotional online is the first thing that pops up on my home screen.  


Some days I read it.  
Some days I ignore it.
Some days I skim it.
Some days I am annoyed by it.
And....some days I read it and it speaks to me and actually sticks with me.


Here is part of what today's devotional read that hit me and is going to stick with me:


Throughout my run in life I have known countless times when I couldn't "see the cross," when God seemed dim and distant. But then that's what faith is about — continuing to believe in the light when you find yourself in the dark. And as in my run, all we can do is forge ahead with the assurance that the light is never as far away as we think. In fact, we know that God's love is with us always.


I feel like that is me right now.  So I will continue to forge ahead. *smile* and be GLAD in it.  


Ran 4 miles on Friday night with a friend. On Saturday night we ran 2 1/2 miles.  
I ran by myself yesterday and it was really hard, my legs were very tight.  It took all I could just to get 2 1/2 done and I walked 2 or 3 times.


And YES folks, I AM going to weigh in tomorrow. Even if the truth hurts.  
I expect "ya'll" to hold me accountable to this!! Yep, I am talking to YOU!!
