Running....

It's falling from the clouds

A strange and lovely sound

I hear it in the thunder and rain

It's ringing in the skies

Like cannons in the night

The music of the universe plays

You are holy great and mighty
The moon and the stars declare who You are
I'm so unworthy, but still You love me
Forever my heart will sing of how great You are
Beautiful and free
Song of Galaxies
It's reaching far beyond the milky way
Lets join in with the sound
C'mon let's sing it loud
As the music of the universe plays

All glory, honor, power is Yours amen

All glory, honor, power is Yours amen
All glory, honor, power is Yours forever amen

So I ran my first 5k yesterday. I was super nervous and wanted to throw up right before, so I prayed for peace. I most certainly got that prayer answered. As I was listening to worship songs that I put in a playlist for this purpose of running I had never wanted to Praise God more. I was past the first mile and was at the 8 and a half minute mark.... needless to say, I was proud of myself from the start. After that first mile I felt peace like crazy. I was smiling and passing people... going at a pace that felt almost too fast, I had no idea how much longer I had left and this song... Cannons by Phil Wickham started coming through my iPod. I turned my hand face up to worship God. I wanted to raise both my hands but that would have looked super funny to other people and would have been hard to run like that. I finished that 5k, closer to God, feeling accomplished and proud, and my dad and bro and step mom were also proud. God was running right next to me saying... "see how wonderful and happy this is... you are following Me and are on the right path, this is how life is supposed to feel and be, you aren't supposed to be drowned in sorrows day in and day out, you are suppose to be going through life at my pace and smiling as the pain ceases to control you."

*sorry if all this was a little all over but I'm thinking you understood what I typed... :)*
