Pushing Through

If I could title this season of my life, it would be just that. God has been pushing me out of my comfort zone, placing me in situations that are physically, mentally, and emotionally trying and pressing. It's not fun going through but coming out victorious makes it worthwhile. I just finished walking 20 miles in 6hrs. Now...if someone had told me that I could do this...I would have thought their elevator doesnt go all the way up. But I did, with smiles, prayers, song in my heart, and great friends. The weather was perfect for walking and by mile 16 I was almost inspired to run the rest of the way.

The beginning started off with the 20 miles ahead of me, oh the excitement and energy! During the walk... painful at times, my legs were hurting, but had to keep stepping, and counting down the miles to the end. The last 2 miles route were the same first 2 miles that began the walk, but this time returning was different. Crossing the finishing line, I came back, changed...having covered 20 miles...met people along the way...memories, crossed different landscapes...physically exhausted, but spiritually inspired and emotionally high. I guess walking with God and life is kinda the same. We start off with an idea of things to come, but the specifics/details occur through experiences that change us oftentimes for the better. We are called to walk out our victorious rights obtained by the shed blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Today was very fulfilling...and I'm blessed to have been a blessing to some hungry families somewhere. I pressed through, kept believing, and overcame. Thanks Jesus for Your strength and faithfulness.
