That's my girl! She may be small, but she is determined. She ran cross country this year with kids who are taller and faster than her, but she kept the pace and crossed the finish line, and I was proud of her.Notice the white arrow on the ground just behind her feet. The district painted lines and arrows to show the students which way to run. It reminded me of how God points out to us the direction in which we should go. We just have to fix our eyes on Jesus, watch for the signs, and He will show us the way.
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart" Hebrews 12:1-3 (Bold and emphasis mine.)
I don't know about you, but that just makes me want to put on my best running shoes! (Figuratively speaking, of course!)
Have a great weekend all!
