Pacer

Today, on my run with Elizabeth, we ran 4 one-mile repeats. She had her running watch so she was on for pacing us, and all I had to do was run. It's such a gift to run with a pacer and just join in trying to hold on for the ride. I did not have to determine if we needed to speed up or slow down. I did not have to think about how many more minutes or how much more distance we needed to cover. I just ran until she said to stop and tried to keep pace with her. 

It reminded me of this verse from Galatians: 

25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. Galatians 5:25-26 (English Standard Version) 

25-26 Since this is the kind of life we have chosen, the life of the Spirit, let us make sure that we do not just hold it as an idea in our heads or a sentiment in our hearts, but work out its implications in every detail of our lives. That means we will not compare ourselves with each other as if one of us were better and another worse. We have far more interesting things to do with our lives. Each of us is an original. Galatians 5:25-26 (The Message) 

 25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. 26 Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another. Galatians 5:25-26 (New Living Translation) 

Taylor- my prayer for you is that you would live by the Spirit and keep in step with Him....
