Onward and Upward!

Just a note this morning about the race we run... I couldn't help but write down my thoughts after seeing Serena William's excitement after her match in tennis yesterday. The look on her face was one of hard earned victory. I am sure Mark and Robin ( our marathon running friends and brother & sister in Christ) know the feeling of striving for the goal or finish line after having put so much effort into training and consistent exercise, diet and self discipline. When you finish and you know you have done well, oh what a feeling! How similar our race for the Lord is, seeking His will, being disciplined and consistent in our christian walk and being careful not to stray from the course He sets before us. Dear ones, some day we to will feel an even greater feeling of victory if we stay to the path, pressing onward and upward in the Lord!
