Lace up those runnin' shoes.......


Good morning! This blog has been dormant for almost a year and God has laid it on my heart to get it back going again! It's been a hard and trying last couple of years for us and to be honest, I kinda lost a little focus. Well, my God is patient and always had His hand out to help me back up on my feet! So that I could continue running the race He has called me to run. That brings me to today's scripture. Let's dig into the good stuff!

Bible Verse: John 12:24 "Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone: but if it die, it brings forth much fruit." 

You can tell the size of a Christian by what it takes to stop him. Hebrews 12:1 says we are to "run with patience the race that is set before us." And this word "patience" is not used in the sense that we use the word. It literally means "endurance."  Everybody knows that a runner is going to win or lose primarily by his endurance. You cannot quit. When it hurts, you cannot quit. When your lungs are on fire, you cannot quit. When your feet feel like lead, you cannot quit. When your sides ache, you cannot quit! You'll never be a spiritual athlete if you're a quitter! No pain. No gain. God has a purpose for you! He has a plan for you! Now, get to work! Have a great day and God bless!
