Every time I notice that you have left a comment, I know I will be blessed!!<BR/><BR/>I feel like the snail! The pace is so much slower than I want. I want healing of my illness and my marriage NOW. But God is telling me to wait and I am learning perserverance. I'd have to admit I'm not the happiest student at times!

Let me tell you what God is teaching me about keeping to the race.<BR/><BR/>Hebrews 11 is a faith-filled chapter, but Hebrews 12...(I think verse one...don't have my Bible with me) tells me that since I am surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, I should throw off everything that so easily entangles and hinders me and run the race set before me. <BR/><BR/>I'm going for broke girl, knowing that in the end, the wealth of heaven is mine!<BR/><BR/>peace~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597483468367201823.post-90477290626155439972008-06-24T16:33:00.000-05:002008-06-24T16:33:00.000-05:00Hey Susan~What an amazing post.....just one more e...Hey Susan~<BR/>What an amazing post.....just one more example of why I left you an award.<BR/><BR/>Stop on over and see.<BR/><BR/>Kim~Kim@Seasons of My Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17562441645287044164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597483468367201823.post-91175886199212386822008-06-24T14:10:00.000-05:002008-06-24T14:10:00.000-05:00Bravo.

Kind of like us starting out as new Christians and persevering through this road we call life, until we are rewarding with walking in Jesus presence. Just like brilliant diamonds surrounded by our Father's love.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153847712814391815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597483468367201823.post-58463930358938202492008-06-24T12:17:00.000-05:002008-06-24T12:17:00.000-05:00Great exhortation.

They go hand in hand. I love your approach to this quote and the examples you chose. What a blessing to start my day.
