Today, I finally got to see the movie, "Unbroken" with my friend, Jo Ann. This movie, touched my heart in a special and profound way. I left the theater wanting to lift up a block of wood, put it over my head and scream from the bottom of my lungs! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Here's the thing, we will always face trials, it's part of growing in our faith. And there may be times, you wonder how much longer Lord? But try to find the joy in your trials, because God is in control.
I love true story films, especially faith based ones. Such a refreshment to my spirit of who God is. He is, a loving God who forgives, saves, heals, comforts, provides, equips and so many other things. When you may feel like He's not working in your situation, He really is, because He's faithful. I enjoy to see the end of the movies, where they show the true identities of the persons the film was created from. Mr. Louie Zamperini, was a great example of not giving up.
I loved this quote in the move; “If you can take it, you can make it.” Keep going. Keep running. And if you fall, get up again. Because if you never quit — if you never stop — then you can never really lose."
Don't you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! 1 Corinthians 9:24
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us- Hebrews 12:1
I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us- Philippians 3:14
I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me- Philippians 4:13
I'm personally thankful that I have Jesus and strong accountability who keep me running my race with joy, even in those moments I may want to throw in the towel and quit into a state of depression. I'm loved to the cross unconditionally and shared Gods truth, gently. I implore you to always seek God first and foremost. Reach out to a trusted confidant and always stay connected to God.

After listening to this quote, the Lord brought to remembrance the following promises He has given to us in running our race...
