In an effort to get myself back on track physically, I have been preparing to run a 5K. Each day adds a bit more until I realized that I can now run for 9 minutes without passing out. My muscles are developing strength. Improved endurance is apparent. I am changing for the better. Although I have yet to notice a difference in the scales, I can tell that my body is changing.
My muscles aren't the only area of growth, though. In some ways, I would take the physical pain of muscle development over that of other areas. I’m being stretched emotionally and spiritually, too. Once again, I see no difference on the scales, but I’m noticing a difference in my life.
So I will release my grubby fingers from my tight hold on things and trust my kind, Papa! He knows what’s best.

Oh, I like that! And I like you! Lots! ;)
So thankful for you, Jo. Jesus just continues to make you such a blessing in my life and (I'm sure) in the lives of others as well! Thank you for letting Him! Love you.
Laura,
Thank you so much for the encouraging note! :) I love you!

"...and you shall come forth as gold." It's worth the stretch, isn't it? =) Hope you have a LOVELY day!
