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.  Isaiah 40:31

This is one of the most common verses I've seen used with pictures, bookmarks and whatever else you can think of.  I've never understood it until this morning.  

For PT this morning some of us ran 6 miles.  For 3 of those miles we were running against the wind and the last 3 the wind was with us.  In that time of running, God had revealed that because I had placed Faith in Him and in stepping out to try out this world race thing, I was placing my hope in Him.  Well God hasn't disappointed me yet and I find what God has been doing in my life exciting.  I have begun asking "what next do you have in store Lord".

I feel like I've been missing out on a huge piece of God just by placing faith in my own flesh.  The truth is I ware myself out.  Being in the military, I question if God wanted me to get out 4 yrs ago.  These past four years have been a bit of a hell and I could say maybe I'm living a Jonah lifestyle where I want to be comfortable and feel safe but God would rather have me to Go places.

I cannot deny that there is a divine presents that is helping me into this World Race.  He's pushing me into it faster than I expected but its good.
