iced water.

so i wrote this a long time ago but i just found it and liked it..so im posting it:)
i ran today for the first time in months. it wasn't as easy as i had anticipated in fact the only thing that kept m egoing was that i knew that a cup of iced water was awaiting me back at home. i love running. i feel so free and like nothing or no one can stop me. no worry or fear can get in my way. i love the feeling when you finish. so relieved and proud of yourself. but the thing i love the most about running is that our life is compared to a race all thoughout scripture. if we would run our life race with as much focus and determination on GOD that i had on that glass of water than our 'life races' would be so much better. i feel as if i've put 'iced water' in place of GOD. wordly things have been my determinations instead of the almighty GOD-the sustainer of the universe! may we all run for the lord. les us finish the race that was marked out for us.
