Wednesday, March 9





gushing with God's love.



running the race for His glory.



with all of you at my side.







the wilderness comes and goes.



but God has amazing surprises that



restore us and keep the passion alive.







the sky sometimes darkens.



the holes we fall into can be very deep.



very hard to crawl out of.







but...God...glorious God.



He is our story. He is our joy. He is



our perfection in brokenness. He does



the miracles. He creates the music.







i know. i have lived long enough



to see the miracles.



to watch the sunrise.



to see the seemingly-impossible



live. from holes to mountain peaks.







i love each of you.



this is our Race.



the Runner we are following is



Jesus.







never give up. never let fear rule.



never take credit



for victories. never forget to praise



the One who forces the desert and wide, lonely



places to clash into honor and wisdom



and celebration.







love wins.



not judgement.



not pride.



not criticism.



LOVE.







today,



if you don't know how



you will pay the bills, or



how you can conquer your



addictions. or how one of your



children is going to make it.



or how to turn loss to gain...



I can promise you that, with God,



you can. i've run way down



the road...and i have seen
the victories and



heard the music shattering



our feeble faith.







God looks at our hearts.



He asks that we keep them with



all diligence.







today, i don't notice people's externals.



with my children, i care only about their



hearts. the rest is periphery.







"everyone who competes for the prize



is temperate in all things..."







"therefore, i run thus; not with



uncertainty. thus i fight. not as one



who beats the air. but i beat my body



and bring it into submission, lest, when



i have preached to others, i myself should



become disqualified."







I Timothy 4:16



I Corinthians 9:26, 27







on my most difficult days,



i remember you all are with me.



grab hands and never let go.
