Endurance....

Well hello to everyone who reads this...

This is my first ever blog...I am unsure how they are supposed to go so I will just do whatever I want and make it my own.

Endurance-the ability to withstand hardship or adversity. This is my word that I am adopting as one of my motto's. (my other two motto's are 1. Make life sparkle and 2. You only have one life to live but a million ways to live it.) It really sums me up in a nut shell. I have had a really over all nice life with a family who loves me but I have had to persevere and have endurance through certain situations.

Several months ago 6 to be exact God healed me of some nasty head ache migraine junk. It was amazing. I had been living with these daily pains for months and God reached down and touched me. That is what catapulted me onto my course I am currently walking. Over the last six months my life has been a roller coaster of events but through it all I am determined to practice endurance. God is faith full to me and will never leave or forget me so I can endure whatever is thrown my way with that knowledge.

Recently...as in yesterday I was at the gym (a new healthy choice lifestyle I am trying) and ran into a friend who told me about a 5k. Well I have decided to do it. I am way out of shape but I am going to endure the training and enjoy my goals and try to jog my first 5k on Thanksgiving. I started yesterday with a great successful workout I jogged a 1/4 mile which is huge for me then I endured and successfully made it through my first Iron Interval class. (it was hard and I wanted to quit with everything in me but i did not quit I finished strong!) All that saying I don't have a goal time as I have never jogged 5k's. My goal is to not quit and finish the race set before me.

My motto for the race is out of Hebrews 12:1 "....Let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us." That is what I will do. The endurance blog thing series is going to be about my personal journey toward my 5k and how God works in my life setting me free of all things that hinder me. How I learn to follow through on my commitments to myself through goals ect... I look forward to sharing this part of my life with the people reading my blog...hahaha I love that I have a blog. I think I may just like saying the word BLOG. Ok enough of my simple enjoyment of the word blog. Talk to y'all later.
