Get Back Up Again....

Well I am feeling a whole lot better today.  I got myself up and out of bed at 6:20 am to go to the park to do a Park Run - 5km.   Well.....I DID IT.  It wasn't pretty, it wasn't fast but I completed the run!  

I am finding that walking/running is good therapy for the mind.  Since doing the run this morning I have felt more relaxed.  So relaxed I fell asleep writing this!  



I have been reflecting on what I have achieved this week, rather that what I didn't and realised whilst it has been tough I have achieved.  I have

  • Walk/Ran 20 km- 4 x 5 k;
  • Improved the amount of time I can run without stopping;
  • Drank more water than anything else - still a couple of coke zeros;
  • Eaten breakfast every morning;
  • Spent time with God everyday.
It has been nice to look back and see not all has been bad!    This is part of my new mindset.  Instead of getting too uptight about what I have done wrong, it make the time to find some things I have done right.!
My devotion again was so relevant to what I needed today.  Below is a excerpt

"The apostle Paul said, '...If only I may finish my course with joy...' (Acts 20:24). 

I'm determined to finish God's call for me and enjoy every minute of it! That's what I want for you, too, to enjoy every single day of your life and finish what God's called you to do. 

But most of this is up to us. It's not all up to God. He has done His part and given us everything we need in Christ. It's up to us to keep learning, growing, and letting the Spirit of God work in us. Take time to consider the things that God has called you to do and ask yourself, "What am I doing today to finish strong what God has set before me?" 

God has great plans for you. Receive them by faith and go after them with all your heart. Today, I want you to make a commitment to finish strong. It's a commitment I know God will honor. "


This morning I received a beautiful email from a friend I have made through this blog.  Our God knows exactly when to send the right words.  Please take the time to YouTube Toby Macs song Get Back Up Again if you are struggling - it is great (having trouble on iPad so couldn't link it - will try tomorrow.)
