I took last week off from running to heal and I was suppose to have done 16 miles for my long run. This week I’m still coughing and although I got a short run in on Monday, my body is needing to rest a little longer. I typically would be okay with this yet I am at a crucial part in my training for the marathon. I know I won’t be breaking any records yet I want to finish what I started. But to be real with you, the doubts have been creeping in.

Tonight I had a thought that pushed back against my doubt. I had this deep seated belief that if God brought me to this marathon He will help me through it.

I’m sharing this thought with you because there are so many people I know facing hard things right now. I want to remind them, and you if you are facing a challenge too, that God is with you. I invite you to join me to…

pause. breathe. pray.

As this song says, may we…

“walk by faith
Even when we cannot see.”

May we trust the one who sees the invisible to do the impossible. May we put the outcome in His hands and take the next step of faith forward with Him by our side helping us through step by step, day by day.

With love and hope,
Shawn
