RUN!!!!!!!

Now that my ankle is gettting better I am able to start running again. It's been great to be able to add more variety into my workouts again. I have starting another, more important kind of running. I'm running towards God. I went through sort of a blah time in my walk with the Lord. Because of living in a "Christian Bubble" I didn't have to pursue God and a deeper relationship with Him as much as I did at home because here I am surrounded by believers. So basically I was taking God and His presence for granted just expecting Him to be there. Well in result of that I was praying and waiting for God to grab me by the hand and pull me into a deeper relationship with Him....but it wasn't happening. I desired in my heart for it to happen but it wasn't. God revealed to me that I can't just sit and wait for him. A relationship between 2 people doesn't work if only one person is doing all the work while the other sits back and waits to be led. It's a relationship so it involves both people putting forth effort. So God showed me to not sit and wait, but to RUN towards Him. And as I do he is also running towards me with open arms ready to embrace me. James 4:8 says "Draw near to me, and I will draw near to you". So I'm not only drawing near....I'M RUNNING!!!!
