Another Successful Morning Overcoming The Desire To Stay In Bed, Completing 3 More Miles
It was a little harder to get myself out of bed this morning but I overcame the desire to stay in bed. It turned out to be excellent temperature for a run. Every step we take to as #HWI is another step closer to more clean water for those in need. #KCC #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRHalfMarathon #RiverBankRunWhere Does Our Witness Begin?
As I sat here thinking about how to safely write my thoughts, I began to be reminded of the life of Christ and his actions. I’m thinking of how he was viewed by those around him. Is it not true that Christ did things that were against the culture of the times, or at least things that caused people to question his actions? He had meals with those that the spiritual leaders wouldn’t dare find themselves in the company of. I guess at the moment the only examples that come to mind are those where he interacted with people that most wouldn’t. I guess my ultimate question is where is the line drawn where we can live in the freedom we have in Christ verses…
Life Principle: Disappointments are inevitable, discouragement is a choice.
It was an especially stressful week. Getting a long run in and reading this devotional helped to turn things around. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. – Philippians 4:13 NLTWhere’s The Line…Freedom in Christ or Good Witness
(1 Corinthians 14:13-25) In my devotion time today, Paul was again talking to the church in Corinth about matters of witness to unbelievers and escentially the freedom found in Christ. The problem for the early church, and I would say that this problem has not gone away, was that for the unbelievers (or even weak or new in faith) there were things that they didn’t understand which easily turned them off to Christianity. The hard part comes in that God has called us, as Christians, to be different than this world. While we are to be different we are also to do so, not in a way that turns people away, but in a way that draws other to Christ. There comes decisions which have…

Thanks guys for the encouragement & support. The reality is that not really any of the advice items you’ve said is something I didn’t already know, or haven’t told myself like a hundred times. This is why I had to get it all out in the open. I just need a lot of prayer in this area of my life. Like I said at the end this is something I’m needed to take to God everday. You know this topic of not going and looking, as it relates to relationships, I’m starting to have a little issue with. I would agree that yes you shouldn’t go looking under rocks for someone but there are circumstances I believe that change this. I think if my own…
