Well, 3 Bridges Marathon is only 8 sleeps away. I still feel nothing really. Starting to get a little excited about it. My mentality right now is this is my race. It is my first marathon. I run it for sweet Sophia and for my loving, grandmother that I miss greatly. I have to have fun. And I have to focus on doing what I can do. Listening to my body. Running my pace. Enjoying the journey. This race though is to remind me and others that we must not take time for granted. We need to love on others We need to find the joy in life. The joy though can only come from one place.
Joy is defined by the Webster Dictionary as "a feeling of great happiness
: a source or cause of great happiness : something or someone that gives joy to someone". I have found over my short time here that true joy can only come from the Lord. This Christmas, I pray that my loved ones will all find true joy. That they will grow closer to the Lord or find Him for the first time if they don't know Him yet. Having a relationship with the Savior is the greatest gift one could get. And it is a free gift. You just have to accept it. It doesn't mean that life will always be fun and easy. But it does mean that you will always have someone walking beside you and giving you joy in all things. The valleys and the mountain tops. You will never have to walk through a trial or a triumph alone. What joy!
