Take today for example. One of the songs was titleed something like "Run" and in the chorus they stated the portion of scripture:
"I will run and not grow weary, I will walk and not faint." (Isaiah 40:31b)
I was almost in tears, claiming that as my own every time it was repeated in the song. Little by little I will get stronger and someday I will run and not grow weary....for 3.1 miles - my first 5K. :)
That verse is almost identical to my life verse: "Let us not go weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap if we faint not." Gal 6:9
ReplyDeleteI totally need to apply this to this journey, as I do with the rest of my life. Thanks for the reminder.
You will do this, Leah...its going to happen!
I like to run to Thousand Foot Krutch--They're a pretty upbeat Christian alternative group. I always like TobyMac, a new group called The Almost with their song "Hands," and I have another new group that I like is Seabird. I have to have music to exercise to, especially upbeat music!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first considered the C25K I listed to the Christian Indie Broadcast, and I just couldn't get into it. It, as you said, was not upbeat enough. I'll have to relisten to it.
ReplyDeleteCheering you from the sidelines :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful post and such a great scripture. I generally like more low key music, but while I exercise I listen to FFH, John Waller, Cademon's Call, Steven Curtis Chapman, and sometimes Michael W Smith. FFH has a very solid, quick beat.
ReplyDeleteI loved your final line - you will get stronger and not grow weary. Imagine how far you can go.
Confession...after I finish the C25K program I'll be going back to my regular, more upbeat workout music. LOL I only keep using this because it has the audio cues of when to run and walk. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the great ideas of some music.
It's so comforting to get messages that you are on the right path...the little things that happen through the day.
