it was a tough one today. it was super hot and humid (i've gotten spoiled with the last month being so nice). amy couldn't come with me today and i think i have gotten so used to her being there on my long runs that i really had a hard time mentally. it really makes such a difference in what you say to yourself!
even though the running wasn't the best, it was precious alone time with God. one thing that i've been asking myself lately is am i thirsting for God's word in my life. is that as much of a priority as running and getting my miles in?...
i think what it really comes down to for me, and what God has been teaching me recently, is that i need to find my full joy and satisfaction in God alone. i need to be so fully satisfied in him that i can look at everything else in this world and say, like Paul, that i count it as loss, as rubbish compared to the surpassing value of knowing Jesus (Philippians 3:7-8).
“As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. "
Psalm 42:1

Wow, my thoughts exactly. I'm asking Him to constantly show me, teach me how to do that... Without that time, my day is OFF. I just LOVE how running can be such a sweet time with our Father.
I really, really appreciated this post today!
