Today as I was running I was in a lot of pain. My chest and back were killing. But in the midst of it all I felt God saying-"Keep Going; I've got
You." During the 17 miles today I had a choice to make. I could live in a mindset of defeat and stop and go back to my family's house who live near where we were running today OR I could press through the pain, keep going and Flame On! (Not to say you should always push through pain when doing physical activity- each person knows their body and God gives us a brain and we should use it)... That being said- sometimes we have to do hard things and push through and live above our feelings! This is true to our lives as well:
In life we will face trials, there will be hard times, there will be pain, and things we don't understand- its not IF, it's WHEN! During these times we have the same choice to make: live with a defeated mindset or live with the mindset of Christ and soar above our storms and live a victorious life,walking it out with the authority and power that resides within because of Christ!!! It's not wrong to hurt or doubt or have fear; it only becomes a problem when you let those things have the last say in your life! So the next time you face difficulty or trials remember that you don't have to walk around in defeat: you have a choice to make!!! The battle has already been won! Will you trust God enough to cling to him and soar above the storm???!!!
