Correr

Today I didn't run my mile again. Both my right hip and right knee haven't been feeling very good. Yesterday I ran on the treadmill (a rare occasion for me.....I really don't like treadmills) and my knee started to kill after awhile. This made me worry and I ended up finishing by walking on a high incline. I fear injuring myself in a way that prevents me from running for long periods of time.

But I do want to tell you about an awesome lesson I learned. Sunday I went to the gospel essentials sunday school class. We were learning about the atonement. Our teacher, Jonny Palmer told us about the word "succor" which means "to run to". He then showed that the end of the word "cor" is the same as the beginning of "correr"which in Spanish means "to run". I immediately thought about running and was very interested. Then Jonny said this, "in the most difficult times, Christ runs to us, succors us". I truly felt the Spirit and remembered a sticky note I had on my computer dashboard which says, "No one is going to come running after you". At that moment I wrote down, "He'll run after you".

My whole life has been about running. And a lot of the time I have been hoping that someone runs after me. But I never stop running. I figured that no one was going to run after me if I stayed this way. This lesson taught me otherwise. I can run all I want, but Christ will always be there. He won't let me get too far away. He'll make sure that if I do run, I run in the right direction. And when I take the wrong path, He'll come running after me.

EXCEPT CHRIST WILL!
