The last few weeks I have been running to get ready for the Turkey Trot here in Detroit in a month. I am working on running a simple 3 mile race on Thanksgiving Morning in Downtown Detroit. To some that is simple, to me it will be hard work to run those three miles. I have been running a few times a week with my sister and dad to get ready for the big race.
It made me think about other areas in my life that could use some training. Like my walk with God. I have decided that I am going to go on morning prayer jogs. Combined the training for the big race with a spiritual twist. This will keep me physically sharp and spiritaully connected. Plus, it might convict me to run more often because God knows I need it!
I also want to start putting more things in perspective. Remind myself that I do not have to take on more than I can handle. Remember what really matters in life to me. Work is great and I love my job but it is not my life. My family and friends and ministry is my life. God comes first and the rest falls into place.
My life is far from being done in the training process and I know that God has so much more to teach me but I continue to listen to his guidance and keep training till the end!
