Pressing On

I'd been lost. I hadn't been writing here or anywhere really. I made excuses. I listened to the negative voices inside my head. I was not following a dream claiming that I didn't have a dream to follow. This past fall I decided that I needed a goal that would inspire me and connect my physical & spiritual in a way that I hadn't in a long time - I was going to run a half marathon. It was the hardest physical challenge I could think for myself. I didn't want to do it alone but I couldn't find anyone to run with that was at my level. I prayed and researched races and training plans and then it all went on the back burner as fall turned into winter.
Fast forward 5 months and God had transformed a dreamless, tired woman to a goal-setting, sugar-free runner ready to finish my first half-marathon in 10 days.
I have so much to share about how God is moving in Colorado.
As I come back to writing on this blog, I am so encouraged that the title of this blog is Pressing On... God has given me a dream - to focus on the prize He has set before me - the prize of a new dream.
