ALLriGHT!!!!!!

I am pumped! I started doing 5km on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays then 10 Km on Saturdays. Last week I was a little short on the 10 by 0.8 km and I had walked for a minute. This week, I ran the whole 10km (we had to measure it to make sure it was actually 10k this time) in 1h09 secs! I am very please and motivated. Don't get me wrong, it took a lot of work and encouragement. I had shin splint in my left leg and a cramp in the calf of my left leg. I stopped to stretch it and walked it out for about 40 sec. This happened about 3km into my run... ya... that's what I thought. lol
My best friend started running too and she did her first 5km today in 40 minutes!!!! That's awesome!
There's a song that I listened to while running today. I like it so much. It's from the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, called "I'm Amazed". I like it so much because it reminds me of when I was lost. People thought I was happy and self sufficient, content but really, inside, I was so lonely and sad. Here are the lyrics and hopefully some time today I'll be able to find it and download it.

I'm Amazed
No one knew how alone I was feeling,
And the emptiness I tried so hard to hide
Though I laughed and said my life was fine without You,
I was covering up the secret tears I cried
Then one day someone told me of Your mercy
And the love You showed on a hill called Calvary
There you died and purchased my redemption
When you broke sin's power and set my spirit free

Chorus
I'm amazed that you love me
I'm amazed how you care
Through your precious blood,
I've found pardon
And my sins are washed,
They're all washed away
All my sins are washed away

It's true there have been days when I've failed you
Lord, You know the many times I've gone astray
But I've learned that Your love is stronger than my weakness
And your ear is open every time I pray.
No one else has ever cared for me like You, Lord
Other friends could never be as close to me
I'm not afraid to face the problems of tomorrow
Knowing You are everything I'll ever need

Chorus

I guess that's why I walk the type of walk I do. I know that if I was seeking God yet had a tough exterior, then maybe someone else like that is seeking God. If my aunt wouldn't of stuck out her neck and witnessed to me, maybe I'd still be lost today. I need to stick out my neck and not worry about what kind of people I want to witness to. God knows the heart and He will bring to me those who are seeking, but I need to "cast my bread upon the waters".
Hope your Saturday is one of praising God and life worship to Him.
