I’m tired…

And oh so sore…

Yesterday, I ran my furthest distance yet.

18 miles.

Jesus is a way maker, let me tell ya.

But 18 is not 26 and 26 miles is what I’ll be running come December 14th.

Honestly, I’m starting to get concerned about that wall. The wall that many runners say they experience somewhere in the last quarter of their race.

I wonder if I will hit it.

I wonder what I will do to push past it.

 

Having Faith - Facebook-Insta

In life we hit walls sometimes too.

What do you do when you think you’ve done enough to prepare, but still hit a wall?

Do you push through? Or do you give up and stop moving forward?

Sometimes pushing through means holding on and sticking with it. But I’ve learned that sometimes “pushing through” means that there may come a time when you have to let it go – especially when you are dealing with something that is beyond your control,

Have you given up too soon?

Or maybe you haven’t given it up soon enough?

Highlights from Today’s Episode:

“Having Faith”

  • Your faith is not for the expansion of your fan base. It’s to increase your desire to follow the Father.
  • Be the widow and let it go, but also be the intercessor and take it when you need to.
  • Every time you push past the wall, you become stronger in your faith.
