Ginny - Hebrews 12

Good Morning Girlz!!! July 12th! How did we get to the middle of July??? I love summer; I want it to slow down!

S - "Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and week knees, 'Make level paths for your feet,' so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed." vs. 12

O - Prepare yourself. Just like a runner is going to strengthen their muscles and stretch before & after running - we need to prepare ourselves for this spiritual journey by being in the Word. When we do that the journey is more doable. We see direction in the paths and instead of hurting ourselves, we become stronger.

A - Yes, I was drawn to this verse b/c of the running comparison, especially the week knees part. My knees hurt so bad! One life lesson I have learned through all this running is not to give up. I have had days when I did not want to run b/c I wasn't in the mood. Life had thrown some curve balls and I would have much preferred to sit at home and just think through things, but when I move past that and go run, it teaches me that life goes on as long as we persevere. There will always be a reason for a pity party, but I can't do that everytime. Pull up the boot straps and get going. Sometimes the only thing to do and the only thing we should do is just keep going. Don't sit around and analyze about it, journal about it, or contemplate it - just get up and keep moving.

P - Lord thank you for being a practical God. A God of little drama. Thank you for being constant and stable. Thank you for giving me the strength to keep going.
