We each have a race to run. Don’t look at the other runners. Run YOUR race.

DAY 327
Even if you’re dead last…Finish the race. The goal is the finish line.
Felt domesticated today. I went grocery shopping. Came home, cleaned and did laundry. To nail the final nail in the domestic queen coffin, I cooked. However, no steak and potatoes for this girl. No, that’s just to, to…PLAIN. I made kimbap, the Korean version of a California roll. Yup, today I was super busy, Tomorrow I am taking a long, long, nap 😉 (thank goodness I am not married). What’s my point, hard work happens, and if we are going to do something we need to do it to completion. I could have stopped at any point during my day, but that would have left something undone. On this journey we’ll be tempted at every stop sign to not continue. But then we’ll never end up where we are meant to be. Don’t get lazy, finish what you start. Nothing beats that feeling of accomplishment. Today I am super tired I have done a lot today (nothing that a mother couldn’t do without breaking a sweat. Respect your mothers). My reward for the day… Lisa made Sushi :). Just so you know, DELICIOUS!
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (Timothy 4:7).
So what am I thankful for today? Kimbap and finishing today’s race.

Random (hopefully inspired) Thought
I have hidden Thy word in my heart.
(Picture by Lisa R)
2 Timothy 4. ” I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness,which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing” (Verses 7-8). I want to be able to say at the end of my life, that I fought the fight well. That I stuck with the race till the very end. I can’t compare not one of my bad days to Paul’s (he wins by a landslide), yet I sometimes find the race difficult. Sometimes I just don’t have any fight left in me. Thank goodness that I am not fighting or running in my own strength. Push through, cling to God. Finish the race…receive your CROWN.
