I went for my second day of C25K today (Couch to 5K) I don't intend to run a 5K but I needed something to push me a little further and keep me on track. Run 1.30 mins and walk 1.30 mins for 30 mins. It is perfectly challenging for me... Tonight God taught me a few things...I want to share them with you!
Rest your mind ~ When you "rest something" you put it down & take the weight off. Just because you are resting your physical body doesn't mean you are always resting your mind.
Push through the physical pain by focusing on Him ~ If you have followed Jesus for any length of time you know there will be some pain. Physical, emotional, mental...all of it! Push through it by setting your mind on Him! Memorize scripture.
Do what makes you uncomfortable and it will make you comfortable ~ The things God has laid on your heart for you to do that scare the living day lights of out you... do it. In the long run it will make things more comfortable in that area.
When it gets dark, don't run back to where you could see ~ Eventually you will have to run through it anyway, so why prolong it? And don't just stop, you'll stay there longer. Keep running through it.
The harder you push towards the end when you LEAST feel like it, the stronger you finish ~ That time when you think you can't do it anymore... that's when you need to push harder. When you are weak, THEN you are strong!
He will always give you time to "Cool down" after the hard work ~ In life there are seasons. God knows your limits and will push you further than you think, but always gives you a cool down time after the job is done.
He will give you the wisdom and the opportunities ~ It's up to you to walk them out and apply all He has taught you!
Even though there is a storm brewing, don't let that prevent you from stepping out ~ He will hold back the rain until you are finished what you set out to do...THEN He will open the flood gates and refresh your soul. The time is now.
