Beauty might not be in the slim lines of a fashion model.

And it might not be in the defined curves of a body builder either.

We aren't one dimensional.  God created a whole person that is mind, body, and spirit.

But beauty might just be found in fully realizing the gifts that God has given us, in digging deep within our souls and far into the wonders of God's Word to be all that he intends physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.  Inner strength that comes from tapping into the resources God has given us, by saying yes to the completeness of who He is and the gifts he has placed at our fingertips, is truly beautiful.

This video may inspire you to put on your running shoes, but I hope it inspires you to dig deep and ask yourself if you are developing your inner person with the discipline of an athlete, fit because of the Cross.

I've been away from social media for a month and away from blogging even longer.  I have been digging deep, and listening to the Lord.  I come back almost with fear and trepidation as I have so enjoyed my time alone with God in the quiet, so I return slowly and possibly in fits and starts.  I'm glad to be back among friends though, and look forward to hearing from you.
