I ran with God

The tightly wound spring inside of me finally snapped tonight. I strapped on my running shoes, tightly knotted my hair on top of my head and put sole to pavement....or should I say I put flesh to pavement and "soul" into the hands of my God.

I started running and realized at one point I didn't know where in the world I was. That's when I heard God ask, "Do you want to take an adventure with Me?" With a mixture of laughter and tears, my answer was a yes as I put one foot in front of the other.

At some point, I started feeling my hair come undone, so I let it down and felt it fall down my back and as I ran, I heard God say, "Run, little stallion, run!" And He and I had a good laugh about that one:)

The world looked so different to me late at night and I had a sudden desire to always run late at night. I got to pray out loud and be silly and do things I wouldn't normally do if people could see me in the clear light of day.

As I got close to home, I was overtaken by a sudden urge to sprint. "I challenge you to a sprint", God says, "Are you ready?" I pumped my arms, lowered my head, and brought my knees up...pop pop pop pop pop pop. I felt like I was flying. And then the words, "Wasn't that fun? Aren't you glad We did that?"

Yes God. You are good. Thank You for running with me tonight.
