Running Through the Alphabet

I allowed two days to pass before I ran again. I've been feeling like I'm trying to fight off a cold. But today was so beautiful and I couldn't resist going out to run. I thought I'd keep it at just 3 miles, but I actually felt really good so onto 4 I went. Because I've felt like a cold virus was hanging around, I have not signed up for the 10k run I had been thinking about doing. I still can sign up if I want. Nothing like waiting til the last minute though. The weather reports are not encouraging me at all. The forecast calls for rain, so I just don't know. I guess my future blog entries will soon reveal what I decide or decided.

Today: What a great run! I took to the pavement with one resolve - I was going to meditate on my wonderful God! Last night at a prayer meeting my pastor/husband exhorted us to begin our prayers on a less selfish note by placing our focus strictly on who God is, then praise Him for it. So, on my run, from A to Z, I thought on my glorious Lord. For every letter in the alphabet, I found words to describe the King of my life. It was so much fun, I found myself amazed that I had already gotten to certain mile markers on my run. Before I knew it, I was done with 4 miles. I actually got through the whole alphabet before I was done running, so I prayed for the folks I prayed for last night to come to Christ. I thought about blogging my A to Z list, but I'm crunched for time. So maybe in another entry.

Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters in the Greek alphabet. Here's what the Lord God says in Revelation 1:8 - "I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." Amen!
