I ran a half marathon this morning. Right now I can barely think straight. Around mile 12, the Holy Spirit began speaking to me and I just about started to burst in tears. "Lord, help me hold it together. I gotta get to 13.1." Suddenly I had a vision of me as a little girl running. I had tiny little pig tails with those old ribbons from the 80's that look like really thick, soft yarn. I was wearing a purple shirt, some blue jeans and the ribbons were purple too. I was carefree, happy, full of joy and fearless.
I'm still processing all that I felt at that moment but I know God was showing me how glorious redemption truly is! He has redeemed so much of that little girl's pain. He gave me a vision of how He longs for me to live my life NOW like I was that little girl again. He has redeemed my past!!! I have been set free! And running has been what He has used more than anything else to show me the truth!
Thank you Jesus for healing. Thank you Jesus for the ability to RUN to you!
Glorious running,
Amanda
(Needless to say, I was crying like a baby when I finished. I think Jeremy thought I was losing my mind and the kids were totally worried. I explained that I was full of joy! Not sad!)
