Pushing through the pain

I have been attempting to train for a marathon. (I have not decided if I have time to complete the marathon training because of time away from family). During every run there are many times that you wonder if you can keep going. This is especially true living and training in Prescott which has NO FLAT AREAS to run in!

On each run you make a choice to finish or not. Most of the time it means "pushing through the pain" and completing the course or training. There are some crucial moments in each run that will make or break you. The same is true in life!

If you face difficulty at work, home or in relationships "pushing through the pain" is the way to complete to course. After you can look back knowing that you made a great decision to keep moving forward. I pray today that God would help you keep moving forward!

Hey, Great thoughts and that'll preach. Reminds me of Hebrews 12; " 1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." Great thoughts and thanks for sharing. Don
