#glory
~It is through my humility that I shine His glory~
I can’t believe God used me to bring glory to his name. When I think of the word glory, I also think of humility. It is through my humility that I shine His glory.
In different seasons of our lives, God uses us. For this season of my life, it happens to be through my running journey.
#strength #waterwalkinggirls
When we need strength God sends just what we need. How does our Maker send us strength? Below are some ways God strengthens me.
The most obvious way I gain strength from God is from the Holy Spirit. When Jesus arose from the dead he appeared to His disciples and gave them a wonderful promise before His ascension. “And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my Father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.” Luke 24:49 NLT When we are struggling with difficult times the Holy Spirit will comfort and strengthen us to continue on our journey. As Christians we all have access to the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.
~Having a purpose for our endurance, the process to the outcome becomes obtainable~
I just completed my first 31 days in a 90-day challenge called “Last 90 Days” with Rachel & Dave Hollis. I made it 31 days with no coffee. So, what gave me the endurance to follow through? I had a purpose to complete something that I knew would be a challenge, but it was worth that sacrifice. Because I cut coffee out completely, I took away any temptation to have it.

(This blog post is not at all about what I had planned for it to be about but God had a different plan. )
I have had a difficult week. I am not going to go in to the details of what made it difficult because that would give Satan glory and this blog is NOT about him! I have just seemed to have one trouble after another and just when I have felt like one situation is better something else would happen. So today I want to share with you how the intentions of my friends have blessed me and brought me joy.
#mywhy #runforgod #halfmarathon by: Julie Wicker
I recently shared my running journey with you all back in June. A quick recap, I started running in January through the Run for God bible study & 5k program. Once I reached my 5k goal in April, I kept pushing myself week after week to run farther. I had always planned on running the 5k in Georgetown’s Bridge to Bridge Run on 11/2/19. Over the summer I decided to challenge myself to sign up for the 12k. I kept pushing harder each week. When summer was over and I had surpassed a 12K, I was contemplating signing up for the half marathon.

“Finally , brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things.” Philippians 4:8 NIV
#hunger by: Julie Wicker
In finding your purpose or its purpose God gives you a hunger for something more. It’s in our hunger pains and sometimes spiritual famine that we find our desires, our joys, and our calling. The purpose then gets fed and God eventually brings that hunger back. It’s called the Journey of spiritual growth. How boring would life be if we continually felt full?
