Are your weeks flying by like mine?!? I want to assure you I completed week 6 workout plan....you can see on mt phone on the runkeeper app..i just haven't made it to the blog. I really like taking time to read other blogs too and that just didn't seem to happen last week. This has been a busy week already..Sarah and I are getting ready to have a yard sale at our house for our missions trips. After reading the book 7 by Jen Hatmaker and going on a mission trips I just feel like I don't need much "stuff" anymore! There is so many things we have that just don't matter. Well sorry to get off topic but it's just been on my mind!
Yesterday night I ran solo...I read Philippians 4:13
I can do everything through him who gives me strength. My workout was HARD last night! but yet again God was faithful and I completed it! I am beginning to wonder how I ever ran without God! The more and more I run the more and more I am relying and trusting on him. I just don;t know how people live without him! Tonight at church Aislynn Holt shared with us. She did such an amazing job. It made me want to be on the mission field now not in June or July! Now I am waiting for Sarah to get home from church and it's time for week 7 workout 2!!

I won a Kindle Fire from the Joy FM!!! I have only played on it for literally a few minutes but its going to be fun! Went and saw October Baby last night ..I recommend that everyone sees it!! Today was the Disaster Relief training....I was debating about not going but glad I did. Looking forward to enjoying the rest of the weekend! God is good!

Spring Break is winding down...
WOW! What an awesome week! I can promise you I was running and maybe even a little too much. I just wanted to recap and reflect on the week and then I’ ll share with you what I learned on my solo run this morning!
This week I did it…I actually relaxed. I read 6 books! Ahh yes 6 and on my 7th! I love to read. My favorite book this week was called 7 by Jen Hatmaker…I definitely recommend this book! Today during my run I was thinking about the last week and I asked myself Yeah you read all those books but how many pages of the bible did you read?! Ekkkk..I don’t have to answer that one on here do I? Moving on…J
This week I also had a chance to do a workout with Brittanie and Leah! I also got to go to FITniche with Jamie and Linda for Ladies Night. We won for having driven the farthest. Two of us had Run For God shirts on and we were asked by 3 people about them!! We got to share about the 5K challenge, the bible study and the run!! Jamie also won a $56 sport bra!! It was a very successful night;which also continued to a very successful Friday! Jamie told me that Paul at won the Friday Free For All on the JoyFM ..I then reminded Sarah….when we were in the car it was time to call….and I WON!! So much fun!
Anyway I will finally get to today’s run…… I went out solo because Sarah is at a Hunter’s safety courseJ so she can bring home the bacon, literallyJ I also remember to wear a green shirt running so I wouldn’t get pinched. I almost did by a huge dog that charged after my but I screamed and yelled and it retreated back to it’s house. Not only did I think about this weeks reading choices but running solo I also realized this is the first time I did a Run For God workout by myself. This was actually the first time I had ran outside by myself. It was different. Who have to rely on when you are by yourself?!? And are you putting your faith in Him? Looking forward to the next run!- Running for him, Jess

First day of spring break and it's off to a running start:)
Last night was the Strawberry Festival and Toby Mac. It was great! Many of his songs are on my running mix so I was ready to run last night! But....we waited until this morning! Cars were in our way so we stayed on the opposite side and did our route backwards. Its so amazing how one little change can make you see things differently!

Sometimes doing something twice is a good thing!
John 14: 21
“Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.” (NIV)
“Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.” (NIV)
So I did my run workout at the Y and didn't have the verse with me to read :/. Sarah comes home and says ..."Want to Run after church?" I say sure..this time I will read the verse and do it right.
And let me tell you my second workout felt great! It just shows you if you give more you will be rewarded. It also shows that I've got more I can give. Whether it's time, money or energy..I've got to give more for Him and he will reward!-Jess

Running on a Friday afternoon?!? Who does that...
Well, As I was still working at school I saw Leah H. and Brittanie B running!! Woohooo! I decided to run for Him and so..... run on Friday afternoon I must...I headed to the Y!
I started my workout on the treadmill just as CNN announced breaking news...several tornadoes were hitting land in Tenn, KY, and IN! I had a Wow moment! I was there at the Y to pray during my workout! I think that was my most exhausting workout so far! Please pray for those families and communities in need!

Mid Week
Isaiah 40:31
“ but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”(NIV)
“ but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”(NIV)
The Run For God group is just that ....a group that will help renew strength! It is so important to surround ourselves with people that will be there and help to remind us who is ultimately in control! Todays workout went great(missed Himie though) ....looking forward to the next!
Running for Him,
Jess
