This week training camp began again for crosscountry season Round 2. It was cool to meet the new girls and to have new people. training camp is always an awkward week, but thats what makes it fun and the reward is that beautiful PF changs in the end:) I am so excited for the season ahead, but kind of nervous.
God is working a lot in me this week. A lot of times I come out on that track ready to run to see who I can beat, how can I get better. I tire myself out worrying about the performance. I lose the joy
I think I need to remember this is God's strength and plan I am in. Maybe God gave me running as a chance to slow down in my hectic day and remember him. That he is my strength, and my savior. It gives me a chance to worship him. My abilities are a way of worship.
In other words, God is the designer, creator, engineer behind all these fearfully and wonderfully made biomachines called humans. Simply engaging in the act of running shows God's glory in His creations, shows His talent and power. God gains glory from any human, anywhere, running; simply because They Can Run, and without Him, They Couldn't.
"Running is just a side thing of what I do and my Faith comes first. It just helps in every way. It helps rebounding from tough work-outs, you know mentally just staying positive, not having my identity wrapped up in my performances. I run just to praise God with my body and when I’m out there running and having one of those days and every thing’s just clicking it’s like the sweetest worship song I could sing to the Lord". – Ryan Hall.
God is my joy....Thats why I love running
