It seems everyone has an opinion about something. Whether its food, politics, religion, children, EVERYONE considers themselves an expert on something. There are countless blogs out there that cover everything from personal struggles to how to do things your way. I posted on a runners blog about how you maintain training regimen when you are traveling... The most difficult thing I have found is deciding who to listen to.

It's interesting to reflect on all this running I'm doing. I just realized that since I started, I've logged over 300 miles. This week alone was 36.03 miles. That's quite a ways. It's amazing to me that in the midst of doing that, I don't think about how far I've gone. I just focus on how far I have to go one day at a time. Over the course of 54 some odd hours, I've traveled a good distance, yet it doesn't feel like it.

This is something that came to me on this mornings run. I had to work out the details in my head a little longer, but I wanted to share it with you as I feel that it embodies the desire of The Grace and Strength Lifestyle coaches for themselves as well as each of you. My prayer is that you see yourself as the work of art that God created you to be. Pray Seek Believe Receive. David Michael Rose...

According to the dictionary, Hope is defined as: The feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best: to give hope. As I was running today, I was thinking about what this day was going to be like... I hoped that I would have the energy to last the whole day as it would be mainly a creative experience and that requires brain use and as everyone knows, brain drain can be more tiring than physical drain.

Tonight after I had been asleep for an hour or so I was awakened by something that broke my heart....I felt the Lord tell me what to say and what to do and I gently heard in my heart, "that's my girl, that was my will and my way." God used this 'something' to begin showing me areas in my life where I was in desperate need to do things by his will and his way.
