Proverbs 3:5-6

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."
Proverbs 3:5-6

It's crazy to me that I pondered on this verse before posting it. In my mind, I wanted to find a verse that would speak to your heart and mine....a verse that would inspire us to press on, words that would strengthen our resolve to once again cast our burdens onto our Father...in faith. I have read this verse many times thru out the years, committed it to memory in Sunday school as a young girl....why did I pass it by, thinking I could find "something better"? At this time in my life, this verse breaks down all the words that could fill my mind, my mouth...to simply...trust in the Lord. Maybe the fact that this verse is soo familiar, is the exact reason why it is speaking volumes to my heart today. :)

I am happy to report that I have reached a point in my training that is amazing to me. I can run a 12 minute mile without stopping to pass out! I can run a mile, walk for 3 minutes and do it again! And again!! :) Praise God! I know....I still have lots of work to do, and I am a total beginner...but, I am so excited at this achievement! Since last Friday, I have been running about 2-3 miles a day, with those walking stretches in between. This Friday, Carol will push me a little farther, and although it scares the crud out of me....I know I will do it, and live another day. :)

Simply put....it's the living that is a little rough for me right now. Your love and prayers take me a long way...and I am forever blessed by the support and encouragement lavished on me.

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."
Proverbs 3:5-6

Yes, I desperately want to understand, get a grip on the reality that is mine...yet desiring that understanding is what is tripping me up! In all situations, circumstances, challenges...I MUST trust in the Lord with my whole heart. Saying I do....and actually daily living it....now, that is the journey for us all! :)

Today, because my paths are so crazily crooked...uncertain...messy and disheveled...I am CHOOSING to trust Him, knowing with everything that I am....He WILL make my paths straight!! Ugh.....the journey truly is moment to moment.

Gotta Run!
