But.....but.....but..... (and other excuses not to run)

I'm a blur because I am running so fast!

It's winter, and I can come up with a million excuses of why I can't run.
1.  It's too cold.
2.  It's too windy.
3.  The dogs keep chasing me.
4.  It's too dark.
5.  Nobody cares if I run.

But, let's face it.  There is a treadmill just waiting for me, and it's warm, light and safe in our house.

SO, I HAVE NO EXCUSE.

The good news is, I have probably run more frequently in the past few weeks than before.  I've also begun to track my eating, and I have found that it really makes you think what you put in your mouth if you know you have to log it in!  www.sparkpeople.com is the site I am using, and so far, it has been practical and easy to use.

Do you ever just want to quit running the race of life?  Well, maybe you haven't wanted to "check out," so to speak, (if you have, I'll share a story for you in a later blog) but maybe you just wanted to take some time off from your race.  What are your excuses?

1.  The world is cold to my witness.
2.  The wind of the Adversary is too strong.
3.  No one is helping me serve the Lord.
4.  The world is wallowing in darkness.
5.  Nobody cares if I go to church, or if I read my Bible, or if I do right, or if I love others, or if I ........ (you fill in the blank).

Are those excuses what you want to tell God when you get to heaven? Probably not. 

Don't quit.  Keep on.  Be determined.  Hang in there.  You can do it.  BE STRONG IN THE LORD!
