Easter Run..Therapy Run.

^{1 Corinth 15:21 "} For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead."

HAPPY EASTER! He is RISEN!

Most of us run for pace, or distance, or the love of running. We have a goal, a  challenge, a program that we are following. 

But sometimes we run for other reasons....

Today I ran for other reasons..Today I was not even planning on running. But today, tonight, I knew I NEEDED to run. 

I needed to think clearly. I was smiling but my stomach was turning. I needed to beat down the garbage others had put in my head. 

I needed to feel in control of myself, my emotions, my responses and reactions. 

As I ran I started out slow just finding gratitude for the legs to get out and go. With each leg turning over I embraced the chill of the air and the silence in my ears. 

No Distractions.

No Obstacles.

Just me and HIM,

I continued to move through the air slowly gaining speed and peace. I checked myself and my behavior from the day. I am not perfect. I had some challenges this afternoon at dinner but can honestly say I did not get into the "Sand box". 

 Running, I could feel my hands clench and my pace getting stronger and swifter. I am a fighter. I am going to fight with everything I have to not respond or react to someone elses insecurities or drama. I am not going to let it haunt me or own me.  God is my directer and acceptor.

I was running to HIM. I needed quiet time with HIM. I needed him to heal me and comfort me. I needed HIM to remind me WHO I AM and WHO I AM NOT......and no one else to do that.

I was running only 2 miles. It was not a run that required physical pain rather spiritual fulfillment. I was running down the emotions and with each moment that passed I felt more stable and complete again. I am thankful for the self control HE gave me. I am thankful for a beautiful day with my family. I am thankful for the legs that God has given me..I am Thankful For Jesus dying on the cross for me...His grace is Sufficient..Happy Easter Everyone.
