"I will run
Run father after you
And I will seek your face
In all that I will do."
-A song written by squad mate Cara Parker
"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain."
-Hebrews 6:19
A Journal Entry:
This past year I have ran a race around the world for you. Bringing Kingdom to nations. I was choosen by you to be a light in the dark. It was your hands that set me upon the lampstand.You poured me out of the salt shaker. It has been you working through me this year. You supplied the strength. The determination. You spoke truths to me. Hard truths. Loving truths. Many times you were my only hope and source of strength. I have fallen and refused to get up so you sat down beside me silently encouraging me to get back up and run harder and faster. And I did.
You told me faith is a choice. You told me that you delight in me. You told me that I am worthy. You told me that this world has lied to me and beat me up and down until I was black and blue. The Devil has thrown in some good punches, in the ring of this world, but you have always been in my corner.
Your power has flowed through me. You have supplied my tongue with words in a language I don't understand, but I feel your power when I speak it. You have supplied my hands with a fire that has burned out diseases, pain, and injuries. You have supplied my eyes with your vision for your children. You have supplied my heart with love.
The truth is that I am tired. My bones seem brittle and muscles are screaming for me to stop. But I will deny my flesh the desires it begs for. After this year how could I just stop? After all I have seen how could I not continue fighting. How could I stop running after you? I will coninue to stand on the frontlines. I will go farther. I will seek your face in all that I do. My hope is you you and that hope is the anchor for my soul. The seas will rage and the winds will blow, but the rope will not break and the anchor will hold.
The anchor will hold and I will not be lost in the angry sea.
I will run farther after you.
