The Running Rx (September Word Celebration)

 

I love to run...

 

It is the place that my mind is the most quiet. 

It is my prayer time. 

 

My grateful time.

 

I run to find God...

 

It is a spiritual metaphor. The mind willing the body into submission, much like the war between the flesh and the spirit. (Galatians 5:17) 

 

Each step, a shedding of the day's griefs and struggles.

 

Every bead of sweat hitting the ground, telling a tale of determination, persistence, and triumph.

 

It is Victory.

 

It is Freedom.

 

It is *Peace*.

 

It is another mile when you think you can’t go on... *Life*

 

It changes the body.

 

And the mind.

 

It reveals what you are made of.

 

And what you can be.

 

It is raw Strength.

 

It is your heart thanking you.

It is...

...the stride pounding the pavement, perfect to the beat of the rhythm, against the will of the body, in the company of the Almighty

 

Bliss!
