so this has been a really busy weekend for us so far!!! friday night, after a long week of work, we had an activity for GPS…potluck bowling…late night for us…then this morning we were up bright and early to run a 5K!!! for those that know me, running is not exactly my strong suit nor something i have a passion to do…but it was for a benefit and kasey loves to run…so off we went!
seeing as running is not a passion of mine…i haven’t run for six months!!! i should’ve started out with a run to the mailbox or maybe around the block, but noooo…i agree to run a 5K…it was 50 degrees and windy at start time for the race…i was hoping that my wider frame would receive more assistance from the wind, than the MUCH narrower frame my wife has!!! but i can’t say that it helped so much…fortunately she stayed with me and actually pushed me throughout the race…and i FINISHED!!! (just won’t tell you how long it took me…sorry…)
after the race was over i had two rocks where my quad muscles used to be…and my left knee felt like it was going to explode at any moment…otherwise i felt great…the kicker is that we had to drive 45 minutes to get back home…let’s just say the banana and bottle of water didn’t help so much with the cramping…!
what was i thinking?
tonight i’m just thinking about the race and wondering just that…what i was thinking…why is it that i haven’t run for 6 months??? it isn’t all that bad, especially when you run a beautiful course like we ran this morning!!! it’s actually good for my body, even though it doesn’t feel so good right now…
the problem is i have done that same thing in my spiritual life from time to time…for some unknown reason i neglect my time with my personal Savior and Lord…i don’t make my time studying His word and talking with Him, a priority like i should…but why? i can think of one time in my life specifically when i look back and see the effect that it had on my life…just like the cramping in my legs right now, there was great pain because i had stopped doing something that in all honesty i needed to be doing…something that’s good for me…
what was i thinking???
have you ever had a time in your life when you neglected something??? maybe even your personal relationship with God??? how did you get back to it???
for me i had to get back to reading God’s word daily and i started journaling my prayers…
