I think the ultimate step for running AND my faith, is ACCEPTANCE. I have a LOOONG way to go....13.1 miles is far, and my relationship with God is definialtly in the works of getting closer.
I want to be able to run further and to be closer to God. Simple right?

TIME. GOALS. PATIENCE.
I have officially signed up for the Detroit 1/2 Marathon in October. Am I crazy? I might be...but this is something I am challenging myself to do.
I haven't ran in a while. And that first run...i was thinking "alright, peice of cake.
SIKE. I was dying of exhaustion.
I think what I struggled the most with on my first run was that I used to be able to not run for weeks and be able to jump right in.
But things take time, patience, practice, and down right TIME. This is something I am pushing myself to do. Take TIME. Be PATIENT. Set GOALS.
Results are not instant. Things take TIME, GOALS, and PATIENCE.
I am using these 3 words with my faith. I want a close relationship with God. But that, like running, isn't something instant. I have to spend TIME with Him, have PATIENCE with Him when I cant hear Him or understand Him, and I need to see the ultimate GOAL of a life as a servant.
