Slow Down

So I've hit a very interesting part of my training.. the part where I want to quit. Not because I don't like running or because it's hard, but because I have 0 energy at the end of each day at nursing school to come home and run 9 miles. I know that it's so silly and I really want to make it to the race, so I am praying that God will give me the physical and mental strength I need to finish what I started. It certainly will not be the end of the world if I do not get to run in this race, but it's been SUCH an incredible faith journey for me and I feel that to quit now would mean that I have no faith in myself or in the almighty Creator. It's no longer about if I believe in myself, but if I believe that God can carry me through the seemingly impossible tasks of life (to those who wonder: He not only can, but He will, faithfully).

I ask for prayers at this point in my training. I am discouraged beyond belief because I have not had the time to run, but I ask that you pray for God to give Scott and me the strength to finish strong, glorifying His Holy name every step of the way.

In Him,

C.
