I have actually walked/run twice this week. I am so thankful that I am physically able to do that. I am also thankful for the Garris Chapel small group "Run for God." It is a program that Karolee and Julie began some weeks ago. They have been meeting two times per week for devotion, sharing and running or walking. I mention this group because without the motivation I probably would not have pushed myself to do what I have done.
Now, you would think that a cancer survivor would not need motivation to get out and do something that he/she already loves to do, especially after seven months of not doing it. But the fact is, our minds, spirits and bodies all work together. When you are struggling with one, the others struggle also. That is why it is so important to take care of yourself, mentally, spiritually and physically.
I think that I get it. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul and all your strength." (Deut 6:5)
Do you have one of these areas that you need to take more care of?
