August 31 7 mile midweek run. I went to bed really looking forward to pounding out these miles. I cant believe I was actually looking forward to running, especially that distance. What a change God has made in my life. So since today finished out the month of August I decided to look back and see my total miles for the month. Run keeper told me after my 14 mile saturday that I broke distance in a month, but I wanted to see what it was. Turns out I did 97.39 miles during the hottest month of the year. Not bad! I can say I am definitely glad the ber months are coming, and hopefully cooler weather following. 7 miles was great this morning, what an awesome time these runs have become for me to spend some time in prayer, and just focus and think and meditate on what God wants me to do. I really got a vision for my new job as a ministry intern, and am really seeing this as what it is. My pastor when we were talking about my role, told me he saw me as a shepherd over the after school program. How fitting that he said that since as a ministry intern I am obviously focused on going into ministry, and what is a minister, but a shepherd to a church. This is a incredible opportunity to start small and get experience as a pastor with out drowning as a senior pastor. I am quickly taking on new projects, and more responsibility, and really got a clear picture of the way I can be working during this mornings run. I am really loving this time just to focus on Christ, and am blown away by his power, and hand in leading me. Thank you God for the work you are doing in my life.
