Motivation Monday

I used to run. Usually I ran a few times a week.

A month ago or so, I went running when Konner got on the bus for school. I was already up and out the door. What excuse did I have not to run? MORE SLEEP!!! That's what I had said.

I like running, I really do.

 I like how I feel after.

 I like the energy it gives me.

I like how my mood is better.

 BUT it takes everything I have to actually GO.

 

Last night I prayed for God to give me strength motivation to run this morning.

I fought Him tooth and nail.

I felt guilty for not going.

Here I prayed for God to give me motivation to go running and He did and I was fighting Him.

About 5 minutes before having to take Konner to the bus, He won. My motivation kicked in and I put my running clothes and shoes on real quick and out the door I went.

 I only ran 2 miles, but who cares.

That started the rest of my motivational day.

I was back by 7.

I swept and mopped.

I folded a load of clothes.

Started another load of clothes.

I got Rivers' up and we both ate Oatmeal (this is another thing I prayed about. I used to always eat oatmeal in the  morning. And I lost alot of weight. Tried to eat it again a year ago and I gagged at the texture. This morning I didn't. YAY!!) and out the door we went where we stayed for 2 hours.

 I did my Bible study and cried at how God is showing me things.

 Rivers played with his dump trucks while I did that and I started some crafts that I am going to try and sell at a local craft show. I also leveled some dirt in a low spot in our yard.

 

GO ME!!

 

Now, I am not saying the days from here on out will be as great as today has.. I KNOW they won't.

But I know with God.. ALL things are possible.

 

What motivates you?

 

May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
