Runner's Revelations

I discovered Ravi Zacharias when preparing for a run. I decided to search for a podcast to coast to. I came across Let My People Think and decided to take a listen. About three minutes into the podcast I knew I would have to listen again and take notes. About halfway through the podcast he said something that stopped me in my tracks. “You prove God’s word to be true whether you believe it or not.” Wow! Such a profound truth wrapped in a simple sentence. I listened to the episode again while running and then again when I got home. Since then I’ve admired the great apologist; many times referring to something he stated in one of his teachings, lectures, sermons, or panel discussions.
I am forever grateful for his careful in-depth view of some of biggest hairiest questions we, believers, get to explain and defend for the sake of the Gospel.
Thank you Mr. Zacharias. I appreciate you and will continue to pray for you and your family.

Shout out to all of the little home gyms out there. The stability ball and Bosu are in the back.

This event started it all. 8 years ago a group of us from Cornerstone Baptist Church(Dallas,TX) ‘s Beloved Ministry entered a 10K race after training for three months. When many of the women finished injury free I remember sharing with Laura (another volunteer) “I think I could be a running coach.” Witnessing the ladies set a goal, work towards that goal, and cross the finish line felt great and purposeful. This set in motion the beginnings of Runner's Revelations. I’ve gone on to teach running classes here and there. And guess what? The feeling I get when someone crossing the finish line is just as great as it was back then.

I consider these experiences a gift. For the past 8 weeks I assisted with the Gaining Life Balance class at Cornerstone Baptist Church. They have one more month of learning, growing, and encouraging each other within the GLB program. It’s been a delight to serve as the fitness coach.
When a person decides they want to improve their quality of life by changing their eating and exercise habits, it often times come with a lot of vulnerability about where they are and where they want to be. You have questions that you may not want to ask because it reveals how much you don’t know. Your body experiences stuff it hasn’t experienced in awhile or ever before. So to be invited into someone’s journey is not something I take for granted.

Hey CCDA - Christian Community Development Association , I’m first day of school, Bayou Classic outfit, stepping out ready for this group run at 6:30 in the morning! Who used to lay their clothes out for that big day? 🤣 See you in the AM in front of the Coffee Post! ✌🏾
