The Duggar family may have 19 kids and counting (up), but I have 19 sleeps and counting (down). If you have been following me, you know I have been battling a hip issue. God is good and faithful. He is healing me. I have put my hope and trust in Him. My faith is in Him. Faith is believing without seeing. It is easy to believe in what you see, but things are taken to a whole other level when you have believe without seeing. Without anything tangible to wrap your hands on. But I also see the rewards of faith in Jesus Christ as so much better than anything I can hold in my hands. He is never failing. He is never changing. He will run and walk every step with me on December 27th as I honor the memory of my grandmother and run the miles for my sweet buddy Sophia Rose.
I ran my 20 mile training run this past weekend. I got tired. My legs felt heavy. But I kept pushing, and God kept my hip and legs going. I woke the following morning with no pain. How amazing! I haven't been pain free since before my half marathon at the end of October.
God is good. Have faith in Him and Him alone. Man and this world will disappoint. Will break our hearts. But if we trust in the Lord, He will never fail us. He may not give us what we want, but when He doesn't, we have to know that He always knows best. There is no telling what is lying ahead that He is protecting us from.
Train hard. Training pays off. But rest too. Rest days are as crucial as our training days. Consistency. Balance. Variety. Listen to your body. Not your mind. Your mind will give up on you. Your body may give out, but make sure it is your body and not your mind. Train well and your body will get your through. My Savior gets me through.
