Longer Long Slow Distance

Hubby and I ran in town yesterday, not quite 7.5 miles. Better than the 3.5 to 4 miles we had been running and calling them our s. Ended up quite frustrated with DH and just stopped speaking after about mile 2-3. In a way, it kept my mind on running just ahead of him … perhaps akin to running away from him. That describes my mood running. Ran faster than usual, too. Glad to be done. Emotional baggage with him as well with kids. Ugh.

Glad that the Lord met me this morning before church in my QT. After shedding some negative stuff, realized that a lot of my current issues developed in earnest after I really heard Him speaking to me a week or more ago. Gently, the Lord moved me to see that many of the things I’m struggling with are attacks which serve mostly to distract and discourage me.

It was good to have a bit of extra time this morning to with the Lord and listen for His voice. I know the THAT to which He is calling me now, and it seems abundantly clear that the enemy would rather me not move forward. Somehow, that gives me the impetus to please my Lord all the more.

With His help, I have had a better day today and look forward to a better week.
