I used to run Track and Field in Middle and High School.

In school, I was a sprinter. I ran the 4 × 400-meter relay. I can take life like this sometimes, thinking I need to quickly get to the finish line. Let's try my absolute hardest and faint at the end. I recall when I first started writing in my younger years and I had something to prove... and once that metaphorical gun went off in my mind, I was working hard and publishing oftentimes 2-3 books a year. I wanted to run my race with vigor and passion.

In school, the coach also allowed me to run a cross-country event. We basically started the race on one side of the woods and didn't finish until we exited on the other side. I loved the change of scenery and the change of pace. I didn't have to use up all my energy; quite the opposite, I needed to reserve my energy for the duration of the journey. Now, as a more mature writer, I have this mindset. I am enjoying the experience more. I am going slower but still progressing. I can relax a little, just do my best, and leave the results up to God.

Which race are you running?

If you need prayer for anything, let me know. I would love to pray for you.
