A few weeks ago, I pulled myself out of bed earlier than normal on a Saturday morning, fully intending to get a run in before I started my day.
It was a good morning for it…not too sunny, not too humid (yet), and I had the best intentions…but for whatever reason, 8:30 rolled around and I still hadn’t laced up my shoes.
I found myself lacking motivation for something that I typically do enjoy, at least once I get going.
In a last, desperate attempt to get myself moving and excited about pounding pavement, I looked at my daughter. Do you want to go running with me?
Yes, Mommy!
Well, there was my, you-can’t-get-out-of-this-now-Mel, answer. We were definitely going running.
It was well after nine before we were finally out the door with Mae chattering away a mile a minute as I strapped her into the jogger.
We took off…and, friends?
We seriously had the BEST time.
And as we pushed through those three-point-one miles, I couldn’t help but smile at the moments God was giving us…
He was using my daughter to teach me some important lessons about the journey.
Today I’m over at God-sized Dreams, sharing about the importance of sharing the dreaming journey with others…join me?
