1 Corinthians 9 24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. ------------------------- Philippians 3 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. ------------------------- Philippians 2 16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. --------------------------- 2 Timothy 4 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. ---------------------------- I just finished my last 5k race a few days ago. It was one of the hardest races I have ever ran simply because I had to take walk breaks to be able to breath again. Not only that, but the rest of my team kept catching up to me during that time... prideful, I know, but embarrassing all the same. One of the most disappointing this was my race outfit did not turn out. My goal was to wear a different costume every race. My very first race, I was a runner. (A.k.a. - I didn't dress up) After that, I was a glow-in-the-dark stick person, Rapunzel, and this time, a Minion. But, after spending somewhere between 4-6 hours the night before frantically trying to finish it, I tried it on, and was not about to let anyone see me in it. It was the most pitiful costume ever. So, I was a runner... again. :( My first race was the Mad Bomber Run, July 2012. Then, there was the Run Baby Run 5k this past May. Stay with God's pace through the race of life. If you sprint ahead, you won't make it... or you'll make yourself sick. But don't walk when you should be running; you'll loose ground. Keep His pace. His pace is peace.
