So lately I've been doing a lot more exercising consisting of running, jogging, stretches, workouts and what not. But lately, I've been doing a lot more of running and jogging, and if anybody knows me well enough, it takes a lot to motivate me to run just to be in shape. For me, my thoughts on it, is it's tiring, boring, it hurts, sucks, and takes over time that I could be sleeping, ya know. I've been feeling more of a motivation just to get outside and just go. I haven't realized why until just Friday night.
We had a Community Group leadership meeting at The Refuge and Pastor Robert asked us, if you could be in or create any kind of community group, what would it be and why? I was thinking in my head that I have no idea what I would want to do. I mean I love youth ministry with a passion and I love being just to talk and sit and do whatever, but something else kept coming to my mind. See, I started thinking about why now, am I getting that type of motivation of exercising. I kept remembering everything I went outside just to jog, I never had any kind of phone on me or iPod or anything like that. What I was doing was not just running after God but running with God. Some people might say, yeah okay, you were running, big deal, but for me that's a huge deal. Considering I am the guy who is surrounded by nothing but technology. I work at freaking Best Buy, remember. To me it feels absolutely amazing to be just out there, not being bothered with things around me, but staying on a path that will lead me to a refuge. And God's guiding me, what could ever go wrong, ya know???
But anyways that's my new found escape!!!! I encourage you all to find yours and utilize it as often as you can.
2 Samuel 22:3~My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge; My savior, You save me from violence~
