March 2016 - Outrageously Wonderful

Month: March 2016 (page 1 of 2)

If we let go of the plans that we make for ourselves and learn to embrace the detours that God puts in our place, we will often find that we wind up somewhere better that we could ever have imagined.

Everything may not be okay

I was talking with a friend recently who is in a season of great change. Things in her life aren’t going quite the way she planned and she’s beginning to feel overwhelmed and anxious.

My friend’s situation is uniquely hers, but it is one that I think we all can relate to.

I can’t think of anyone who is living the life they dreamed of, with every little thing falling perfectly into place exactly the way they imagined. I can, however, think of lots of people who are living the life they never knew they could dream of.

I’m one of them. I bet you are too.

I'm such a book nerd. I love to read and usually have two or three books going at once. I'm always looking for new books and authors and thought I would share what I've just finished reading , what I'm reading now and what's next on my bookshelf.

I wasted much of my twenties playing the comparison game. You see, from the right angle, anything can look amazing. But when you let your insecurity rule, you completely miss the path that was chosen just for you. Running your own race is about being true to who you are at your core, who you were made to be and what you were called to do.

Run your own race

I once loved to run. I loved sprinting, running as fast and as hard as I could towards the finish line, stretching my legs and arms as far as they would reach, hoping to be a millisecond faster than I was the day before. I loved the wind in my hair and the sun on my back. I especially loved running in relays, calling out “kick” and “stick,” passing the baton and cheering with all my might as our team finished strong.

Those days are long gone, but I often think of the lessons I learned while running around that oval. One of the most important lessons was one of the simplest — run your own race.
