Well, I haven't written in a while. Basically because I'm running again. When I started this blog, it was to help me "get out" the stuff in my head. But, that has all changed.
What I've realized is we all need a sanctuary. We all need that place where we can be ourselves. We need a place to let go of our distractions, our baggage, our frustrations, our "fill in the blanks". It's in this place that we can get refreshed, renewed, rejuvinated. My sanctuary exists where my shoes hit the pavement. I experience "new life" when I'm running. It's work. It's hard work. Running mile after mile, block after block, step after step, can be very tiring. But, the joy of completion is so worth every step.
God and I have had some wonderful times together while I run. I run because he's given me breath in my lungs and feet that can move. I run for Him. I'm not the best runner. I don't have fantastic times. I don't win any races. I just run. And when I run, I fall in love with God more and more. I experience Him while I run. Our conversations aren't always positive. Sometimes I'm complaining to Him. Sometimes I am frustrated with what's going on in my life. Sometimes I want to give up. However, these are moments that allow me to adjust my perpespective and experience the love of my Savior. How awesome is that?!?! So, I think it's time for a run.
