Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. James 1:27

Strip down, start running, and never quit!

... and I ain't talkin' about gettin' naked and goin' for a run, Forrest! Ha! There actually is some pretty good meaning to these words!
Strip down:  get rid of all the crud in your life - you know, the stuff that makes you think twice before doing it but then you go ahead and do it anyway - the stuff that makes you feel "good" about yourself - the stuff that in reality has merely temporary effects.
Start running:  begin to "do" life with eternity in mind - be ready for anything that might come across your path - wherever God is leading you by golly GO!
Never quit:  be filled with that strength that only God can give, strength that endures - build yourself up in order to stay spiritually fit and not lose ground -
never give up even when it feels like you've got nothing left because you know what? God does!
Yes! Another race down today! More points for this middle aged momma! Troubling to hear let alone write, but the truth of the matter is it is in fact, truth! I am getting older and definitlely am beginning to notice it. God being humorous OR Satan trying to bring me down?  Either way, I've got some work left to do so I'm gonna do my best to strip down, start running, and never quit!
Nothing new on the adoption process.  Still waiting ... patiently nevertheless!
Praise God for His Truth - Praise God for His strength - Praise God for His timing - Praise God for Jesus!
Pray for more of His Truth to be revealed in new ways - Pray for His strength to take over when you are feeling weak - Pray for trust in His timing in everything in life - Continue to pray with us daily at 6:30 am for court dates and decrees before they close!

"let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race that God has set before us." Heb 12:1

Love-
