Earlier this year I ran the Flying Pig Half Marathon. I trained for 6 months. I worked hard and I planned. I overcame injuries during training. I was still caught off guard when my a new injury came up during the race.
Perseverance and endurance are important in times like those. My runner partner and I persevered and we finished. The real joy is just finishing, I knew there was no chance of winning. Some people asked why even try when you know you can't win?
To me running is about my body beating out my mind. If you have ever done some running you know your mind can get the best of you. Your body can do the work but your mind talks you out of continuing. That is what Hebrew 12 is all about.
Staying in the faith race until the end. We can have many stumbling blocks in our way but we can overcome them. We need to stay focused to continue running the race. Think about what hindrances get in your way. Hebrews 12 gives us encouragement and support for those times.
Our biggest struggle for many years has been Asperger's Syndrome. We have trusted God and prayed for our son. We have endured and persevered and God has been faithful. What is your struggle? Pray and ask God to help you, and He will. God has given us great hope for our son.
