Hey everyone,
So I realize that it has been a very long time since my last post (which seems) to be a common occurance with my blog posts) but I am hoping to get a little better very soon.
Originally I created this blog to share some of the spiritual insights that I had on life and faith, but as it turned out I hit a spiritual valley and have been lacking in the insight, as well as motivation for seeking insight, lately. It is funny to think about that in the sense that as I was coming back from a run this past weekend it hit me that what I have been going through is exactly what faith and life is like. We aren't always going to be on a spiritual high and ofeten times it is what we learn (when we make ourselves receptive to the lesson) through our time in the valleys that draw us closer to God and strengthen our faith.
Although my motivation for spending the kind of time in the Word that I used to has been off, I have been catching snipets here and there as I run this race of life. Through them I have been getting some great encouragement from God, usually coming in the moments when I am the quietest and most content. I look forward to sharing some of the encouragement that I have been getting with you later today (I know, two posts in one day? Believe it when you see it) but for now it is off to work. But before I go I will leave you with a verse that has been sitting on my mind for the past few days.
"Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:1-2
God Bless
