I may not have been updating this blog post but I am still in the race. What race you asked? Why the race for life. Oh, I am still running towards the prize to find the better me that God intended. I went on the scale last night and saw that there was a plus and not a minus to my weight. Never the less I am not deterred.
I am still in the gym, pounding the treadmill runway, lifting the weights and praying through every step. I feel like God is using this to carve out something more than a better body for me. He is pulling on self control and discipline that often times I let slip into the back seat of my life.
I know that this race is not for the swift but for those that will endure to the end. I know that this will take sweat and maybe a few tears. However, I will not give up or give in to the temptation to quit. I am still in the race y'all and that is something to praise God about today!
Ecclesiastes 9:11a
New International Version
"I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong..."
Prayer:
Lord, you know me and my tendency to quit on things, myself in particular. However I thank you that I don't have to be the fastest runner in this race, I just need to finish it. So Lord, with you as my coach I am assured of a good finish. Thanks God for helping me along the way in Jesus' name, Amen.
