Ran 4 miles ... God was on a hunt! About 7 months ago , I was a month into running and pretty weak and slow. I had about 80 pounds to drop and I had muscles that were being traumatized being used. I had to practically drag my left leg with me and I wanted to quit. I was pushing to run 3 miles and was discouraged. A woman ran by with grace and beauty. Tall and lean and maybe just a few years younger than me. She made it look easy. She put her arm up in the air and made a fist , pumping her hand she gave me a big smile... I knew I could do it . She ran effortlessly ahead of me... I said to myself , you are going to be able to run like her someday ... Keep going. It was a pivotal point for me. It pushed me through to go to Africa , to be part of a fitness team in Africa , to preach and encourage there because I wouldnt let discouragement get to me... It has been 7 months since I saw her and God said , look for her today and speak to her... Sure enough 2 miles in ( same distance the last time I saw her) I saw her. I flagged her down and told her how her encouragement helped me move forward in so many ways, spoke to who she was , her gifts and life influence to the nations and she was deeply moved. She introduced herself and said she prays for people when she runs. She prays they will find Him in all the beauty of this beach and ocean. She prays they will hear Him and See Him... She shook my hand and introduced herself. She said it made her day. It made mine. We ran off in opposite directions. I am sure she may be more graceful and faster but I kept my pace up and my leg didnt drag! I had a big smile on my face as I easily finished my miles and thought how far He has brought me!
