Step With Jesus

I give one step, I give another, one after the other and that is how we move forward but I've learned that in life, I can't do it on my own.
I need strength, power, energy, motivation, comfort, discipline, accountability... I need an energy source... I need JESUS.

I wanted to say that I'm just another girl that likes to run... But I'm not. You're not. I am uniquely created to fulfill a purpose, to run with endurance the race set out before me... And so are you.

This is what this blog post is about. I got the idea to write this blog while running my first 15.5km. I wanted to document my thoughts. I didn't have a notebook with me, I didn't feel like sharing it on Instagram... I just kind of wanted a place to share my thoughts for no one in particular and so the idea of this blog post popped up... A space online to share my thoughts that can be longer than an Instagram post. This is a space for me to share my thoughts about Christian Life and Running and how running can be applied to my Christian Life. If someone reads it and they relate, that's fantastic. If no one reads it, that is also okay because at the end of the day... I'm writing this to remind myself of profound running moments in my life... For that reason I will post here as often as I feel like it. It may be once a month, it may be every two months, maybe every week.

So if you're reading this... Welcome (feel free to read some of my other posts... I've been writing since 2014. I've come a long way and there has been lots of growth... I'm still growing.

I like to run and I also like to walk. Sometimes I run on my own, sometimes I go with my husband or with my Shadow (German Shepard Rottweiler).

I like to stay active, I also like chocolate and ice cream... Actually I love it. In it all (you know, life) , I have found that Jesus talks... He is a relational God, He is my friend and running/walking has become times of worship and like friends go for coffee dates... I like to think that I have a "running date" with Jesus.

I give one step, I give another, one after the other and before I know it, I'm running ... But never alone. Every step I give, I step with Jesus... I run with Christ. 

Until the next post..... stay blessed.

Prayer Walk through your Home

Image
This morning I got up and started praying in our bedroom, (I usually start praying here the moment I wake up as I like to start my day with Jesus) and as I was praying I remembered something I saw on Pinterest - a Prayer walk through your Home. When I saw this post a few days back, I scanned through the content and then I just kinda forgot about it again... until this morning. I became quiet and thought about what I can specifically pray for in our bedroom. I asked the Holy Spirit to come over me and give me the words so I can pray in and through the Spirit. I prayed for many things as I did the Prayer Walk through our home and I would like to share some of those things with you... So, as I mentioned, I started in the... Bedroom Here I prayed for: Peaceful Nights Rest for our bodies and minds To be protected as we unwind Dreams where our Lord speaks to us Spiritual Growth Blessing in our marriage As my husband and I showcase our love towards eachother, that we wil...

We serve a God of Healing and Miracles

Image
I haven't posted since May 2014 but I felt that I needed to share this. It has been a tough week for me and my family. But we are all keeping our heads high because we serve an awesome God. Here is the story: On 19 November 2015, my Grandfather had a heart attack in the early morning hours. He was taken to the hospital where they treated him and later transferred him to the Medi-Clinic Heart Hospital in Pretoria where they performed an angiogram to determine what is going on with my grandfather’s heart. The result was this: The double coronary artery bypass graft the Doctors performed in February 2015, have disappeared. The doctors cannot explain this at all because “there is no way it can just disappear, also, one of his other arteries started flowing again...” HALLELUJAH! PRAISE THE LORD for the miracle of healing! I firmly believe it is the hand of God because He has a different plan. I visited him that same evening and prayed for healing in his body and for t...

"Patient Fruit" - Take a bite

Image
“Patience is power. Patience is not an absence of action; rather it is "timing" it waits on the right time to act, for the right principles and in the right way.” ― Fulton J. Sheen Patience - it is a gift that allows you to accept or tolerate problems without becoming irritated or angry. Patience is also a fruit... Mmmm fruit is not usually the first thing to come to mind when we think of patience but I like the idea of thinking patience as a fruit. The fruit can either be bitter or so very sweet depending on how much you have - the more "patient fruit" the better. Have you ever felt that growling pain on your tummy when you are hungry? Some people get very irritated or whiny when they are hungry but if you have something to eat for example - fruit - the chances of becoming irritated are decreased. Psalm 37:7-9 (NIV) 7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they ca...
