Hanging On

I started this blog over a year ago and haven't written since then.  However, today my Dad called and said he was interested in started a blog and I thought "Gosh, I have a blog that I haven't written in for along time.  I wonder if it is still published."  It is published, so I am writing my second entry today.:) Here are my thoughts for the day.  Over the last year, I have started running ( I don't like running, but someday would like to run a 5K).  I have realized it is more of a mental reason I don't like running than a physical reason.  I can do 3 miles now, which over a year ago I was struggling with one.  Yesterday, when I was running at Sharon Woods (running the loop) I was listening to worship music and I felt like I could run faster.  It was kind of like God was pushing me around the 2.5 mile loop.  My music was loud because I was not using my headphones; since,  I left them at home and I had to turn the volume up on my Ipod.  What a wonderful run!  This song come on called "Hanging On" by Britt Nicole.  I thought to myself no matter what happens I need to continue to hang on to God and His word and give Him control.  What a great reminder yesterday!  This week, I really feel like giving up on my search, but God makes me continue to want to press on.
