run.


this is all i have wanted to do as of late. just get out and run.

but i guess more or less i just need to get away. and i know that i have been away for quite some time as of late, but i have always had something to do. i need to get away in seclusion and spend some time alone. alone with my Maker.

i dont know why i want to run. i just do. maybe it has to do with the billion things i have going on in my life right now. or maybe it has to do with my weakness, or my brokenness. or maybe even the unknown. or maybe the fact that my heart is telling me that God has something more and i feel that running toward that direction is worth a try. or maybe its just because i need to simply just run.

God has been changing me recently. which, mind you, is a good thing. in my weakness and my strength i am being changed. in my certainty and uncertainty i am being changed. in the perceptions of my past, present, and future, i am being changed. He is reminding me of who He is. i dont know what it is he is pushing me towards, but i need to run in that direction. its completely unknown to me, but i feel that its something that i should do. so i think thats what im gonna do. embrace, and run.

one of my favorite movies is Forest Gump. i didnt know how to sum it up better than the way Forest said it. so here it is:

"That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd just run across Greenbow County. And I figured, since I run this far, maybe I'd just run across the great state of Alabama. And that's what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on going. When I got to another ocean, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well just turn back, keep right on going."
