This morning for our Easter run, Elizabeth and I clocked 15 1/2 miles. I do not think I would have felt this good doing this a few weeks ago so that lets me know that I think I'm getting a little stronger each day. YAY!
During parts of the run, my hands were really cold because of wind and rain. For about 20 minutes, I could not focus on much else than thinking about the hot shower waiting for me back at home. Thankfully, the wind died down and I was able to regain some feeling in my hands by the end of the run.
I have a simple prayer for you today, Taylor. When circumstances are difficult or uncomfortable and when it's hard to focus on anything but the problem, may God give you the grace to look to Him for strength and ask for him to take you by the hand.
Here's the song that was mentioned in the sermon this morning that puts it better than I can. (This song was also mentioned by Martin Luther King, Jr. to his best friend right after he was shot. Pretty powerful....)
"Precious Lord, take my hand,
lead me on, let me stand.
I am tired. I am weak, I am worn;
Through the storm, through the night,
lead me on to the light:
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home."
