Running the race

I think I have been enjoying summer too much and have fallen behind on my blogging!
Life is good right now! I will do another "currently" post sometime soon to catch you up on what's new. But for now I will let you know about my "new" hobby.
This week I bought some new runners in  hopes that I will start running....So far I have been twice but you have to start somewhere right?  I obviously had to buy a new pink running shirt to match my new shoes too! I figured if I had something cute to wear while running it would motivate me to actually run...We will see how that works out....



Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. Hebrews  12:1

Running reminds of the race that we are running in life for God.  Sometimes I get so busy with too much work and the busyness of life that I forget to keep my eyes on Jesus like it says in Hebrews.  Reading this was a good reminder for me.

1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. 2We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.^a

TGIF! I am looking forward to dinner with the fam tonight and a date night with my hubby tomorrow. Happy Friday and enjoy this SUN!
