I've heard all to often people talking about how much they enjoy their "prayer walks" Its something Ive always wanted to have time for.. I would sit here and talk to Ted about how it would be so nice to just wake up in the morning and go for a prayer walk.
Obviously I can't just wake up and go out the door. I have sweet little angels to take care of. I know... I know... I could wake up before ted gets up and go then but lets be honest I am not getting up at 4:45 ha ha! Anyways, for the past two weeks after the kids are in bed or just relaxing before bed time I have been going for a run, bike ride, or working out on the elliptical.
I started off listening to all kinds of music that I like until one day I played the christian play list I have and started praying and giving thanks through my entire work out.. Before I knew it I had gone over 3 miles on my elliptical and I was in such a good mood I felt like I could have done it all over again. That evening the thought came to my mind.. I CAN have a 'prayer walk' but instead of actually dedicating a walk to praying I will dedicate my work outs. It has been a huge change for me. I actually look forward to it because Its time alone and I always feel so refreshed after. It was also a huge reminder for me that I can do anything I put my mind to if I turn to christ. God will provide and there is always a way!
I owe a huge thanks to my husband who holds down the fort for a little over an hour every evening while I get some alone time with my heavenly father. I appreciate the time very much! I love seeing how GOD provides in my life!
My go to verse! Love it!
