After 49 hours of no food, only tea & water,
…
I was a hot mess.
So… I did what seemed ridiculous…
I suited up for a two mile run.
I grasped 3 iron railroad spikes in each hand and set out…
The struggle was terrible, I couldn’t run anymore…so I walked.
At one point I took a knee… almost laid down.
I remembered Isaiah 40:31
I got up and kept pushing…
I saw my mailbox in the distance, it seemed so far away…
So I looked as far past my mailbox as I could.
And I told myself, run as if you had to save a loved ones life.
And I broke into a sprint…
Heart pounding, lungs screaming, I collapsed on my sidewalk…
And the birds sang, the wind blew over me,
and I got up.
So my message is that The Spirit inside is more powerful than circumstance.
We cannot demand strength, however-
We can find it… if we know where to look.
