In Need of a Little Inspiration

What was I thinking? I will tell you what I was thinking ... I was thinking that I'm crazy and that I've lost my {ever-lovin} mind. What am I referring to you ask? 

Well, I might have signed up for a 5K on Saturday morning. 

Yes, I have been training for one of theses for quite some time. No, I do not feel physically, mentally, or emotionally prepared for this. 

{However} God is telling me that I can do all things through Him. He keeps whispering these Scriptures into my heart and mind. 

Nothing is impossible with God. Luke 1:27. 
Do not be anxious. Let the peace of God guard your heart. Phil 4:8. 
God can do more than all we ask or imagine. Eph. 3:20. 
And of course this one ...

He's really what I would call relentless. I am trying not to have a panic attack every time I think about running this 5K on Saturday, so the only thing that calms me down is the Scripture verses He has given me. He won't let me forget that He is always beside me and will always carry me when I cannot go any further. 

I seriously cannot communicate how frightened I am of failing. My whole life I've been afraid of one thing or another, but my most consistent fear is definitely {failure}. That's honestly the reason I have never signed up for a 5K before now. No, I may not be totally ready physically or mentally, but I think that is why God wants me to do it now. Just so He can prove that it's not me accomplishing it anyway. Just know that no matter the outcome, God receives all the glory. One thing is for sure: I will be jamming to a specialized playlist of my most motivating {Jesus music}.

So if you think about it, feel free to say a prayer Saturday morning at 9am. I'm gonna need everything I can get. God's got this, but I'd like some reassurance that my legs won't decide to go all {JELLO} on me and that my mind will overcome my body with continued truth from the Scripture. 

Learning to be the Light,
