Every Monday I go to a class that basically helps you make goals and reach for them. You learn about healthy thinking. Great class that helps you stay focused on the important things, the positive things to be mindful of.

After class on the way home I thought about the scripture verse "Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win." I Corinthians 9:24

If we go into everything we do with this way of thinking we would not quit and we would give it are all. Do your best regardless the obstacle, give your all no matter what. When we believe we can win we will continue the race.

This also got me thinking of my three year old who loves to win. If he knows he is going to win then anything at hand is not so bad. My 3 year old has type 1 diabetes and has to get 4 to 5 shots of insulin daily so does his brother my 16 year old. So it has become a game, a race who gets their shot done first is the winner. Of course my 16 year old always lets him win. The race and the win always encourages him to go ahead and get his shot. In fact just a few days ago he cried to get his shot yes that is what I said he cried because he wanted his shot. He saw his brother about to give himself a shot and he started crying telling me Josh was going to win needless to say we gave him his shot first and huraaaaay he won :)

OK so winning and being first isn't always the best to feel you must have though having that winning mentality pushes us forward takes our eyes off whats at hand as we keep running, keeping our eyes on the finish line, seeing ourselves cross the line before we even get there keeps us running that race.

As we run the race in our journey of life may we stay faithful and true to God and to those around us. May the love of God be that which keeps us energized and keeps us in motion, moving towards that line that God put in our life. As we cross one may we continue on to the next. Hitting that line again and again until the true finish line at the golden gates of heaven....run as to win....BELIEVE

If we are not true and faithful to God then anything that we succeed in really doesn't matter in the end. Another thing that was mentioned is leaving a legacy...run with this in mind start engraving your tombstone as you live this life now....who do you want to be remembered by....who's plan do you want to live by??
