A New Week

I need to be studying for biochemistry, but blogging just seems more important right now.

I'm happy to be starting a new week. Last week had some pretty low points, mainly in regards to my running. One thing that frustrates me about my running is inconsistency. I had such a great week of running 2 weeks ago, and I was excited about running last week, but my mind and my body were just not on the same page. My two hard workouts last week were terrible. They started out good, but half way through each of them my body shut down. My legs were not fresh at all, and I just couldn't get them to move fast. I know I'm going to have bad workouts and there are going to be days that my legs don't feel well, it's just frustrating that I can put the same amount of work in as the other girls but not get the same results. However, I'm reminded that I am just called to give my best effort in all I do and trust God for the rest. This week is a semi-recovery week. I'm hoping my legs recover well for the race on Saturday!

Not everything last week went awful. Saturday, the college girls from church got together for a time of fellowship and learning how to get more involved in church.We had such a great time, and I am so excited for what God is going to do in our group of girls this year!

Tonight, we had a time of prayer up at the church for the college girls. I was discouraged at first because only one other girl showed up, but as I was praying, God reminded me that it isn't about numbers. He promises that where two or three are gathered, He is there. When Jesus could have gathered a multitude of people to be His disciples, He chose 12, and He changed the world through that small group of men willing to take up their cross and follow Him. God is not interested in numbers, He is interested in the heart. I had such a great time of prayer with the other girl that showed up, and I believe that God is doing and will continue to do mighty things through her because of her heart for Him.

One thing God is teaching me is to commit everything to Him in prayer. It's cool to be involved in things that require prayer. Being a part of the college women's ministry is one of those things. I have to pray because I cannot do this on my own. Only God can make what we do successful (successful in His eyes, not the world's). I am utterly dependent on Him and His strength.

I guess I need to start studying now...
