Everything is better with community.
When I think about all the miles I got to run with teammates throughout the years, it brings me much joy. The great camaraderie we had, the laughter, the fellowship was truly a blessing in my life. We joked and made fun of each other, shared our hopes and dreams for life, and knew each other better than our own family.
It wasn’t all joy. I remember runs where we shared really difficult things going on in our lives. We got real, we laughter together, but we also cried together. That was community.
In my life now, I have an amazing community group of people that get to share in our joys, hurts, and pains as well. It is such a treasure to walk through life with people who know you and care for you.
And even more so, how sweet is it that our Lord and Savior gets to walk with us through life. I have this image of running with God, stride for stride, laughing and talking like old friends. The reality is, God is with us. He is running by our side every day. What a gift and privilege it is to run with our God and King.
My prayer is that we would remember that today, and continue to run after the Straight Race of life with Christ by our side!
Psalms 33- Running By Our Side
When we walk with our God
Praise overflows from our souls
Like an unending waterfall
His steadfast love has made us whole
God spoke a single word
And the earth was made
How the mighty mountains shutter before Him
The enemies of God are afraid
But we stand amazed
At our God and King
Blessed are His people
To Christ we will forever cling
The Lord brings nations to nothing
Accounted as dust on the scales
Do you not know? Have you not heard?
God Almighty will never fail
The eyes of the Lord are on His people
On those who trust in His grace
We stand forever grateful
To run with God in this race
