THE RUN: So excited today I ran not jogged...haha... a little over 4 miles! It's not super far but its a start. Maybe I'll add up my challenge and try to run over 30 miles?? Dream big. It's the motto for the month! It felt great, not only is running good for the body and muscles but a great stress reliever. I think all the sweating (yuck haha) I did really let some toxins out of my body.
THE INVITE: I am shooting for 30 people even more. But I honestly will settle for one as long as they get to know the same God I know. It's a bit tougher than I imagined. I spoke to one of my invitees today and asked her to join me and bring along her friend. She came once and liked it, all I can do is keep inviting her. I hope that she makes time to come again. I will keep posting about people anonymously unless they allow me to post a picture and name, kind of a profile on my blog for them.
THE CHALLENGE: Getting back at 4am from chicago to my parents and then another 3 hour drive to my apartment. I was tired but I rested. On the way back home I got caught up in being so busy today. For a moment I let the all the worries in life bring me down. Sometimes we can get caught up in ourselves checking on our list or agendas and letting all these things distract us. And sometimes being so self consumed and not listening to God we can miss out on opportunities to shed some light on those who need it most. I really had time to reflect on a lot and how my routine for work and school and life how hard it can get but I remember that if I can keep running my race and keep my eyes focused on God I know He will provide for me, be my strength and never lead me astray.
Come on! You're doing it!
