Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.” Psalms 115:1
Well, by the grace of God, we have made it to week 2 of the SPRING100!!? Y’all are going to have to make it through all the Spring100 formalities to get to the 100MileMonday fun at the bottom of this post. ? It’s been a beautiful week here in South-central Texas and I have been so blessed & encouraged by everyone who has joined this challenge. Seeing you all dedicating yourselves to the Spring100 is exciting!! I have been and will praying for each of you during this Challenge. It’s my hope and prayer that this will not just be a fun physical activity[although it is!!] but also a spiritual encouragement for the glory of God as we set our eyes on Jesus Christ[Heb 12:1-3]! And today is the day you get to log your miles from week 1! There is a super-easy form to fill out below. Please be sure to add up the miles walked/ran for WEEK 1 [last week, March 20-26th] and submit them here! For those who are currently traveling, sick, or recovering from baby ;) and are planning on starting the Spring100 when the Lord allows, just enter 0 until you actually begin the Spring100!

WEEK 1 MILEAGE FORM

Okay… did you log those miles? ?Good, we can move on!!?
1 Spring100 notice: ☞I was asked by several Spring100 participants how they should keep track of their daily miles and some have requested some type of chart! So, I have created the Spring100 calendar. ☺ It’s pretty self-explanatory! If you’re needing an easy way to keep track of the miles walked in a day/week in between submitting them here, print the below calendars and have fun! I have also chosen a verse each new week that has blessed me over the past week and I hope the verses chosen will encourage and bless you each week as you meditate on them during your walk/run. :) You could even set your mind and heart on memorizing the verses during your walk/run. I have my Spring100 calendar printed and I’ve started filling it in!

March || April || May || June
Note: I am very new at creating pdf files… so if you have any trouble at all printing, just leave a comment below and let me know!
I chose Is 40:31 for this week’s verse! “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” I found myself downright physically exhausted last week and instantly Isaiah 40:31 came to mind! It made me think of the spiritual race we are running. This spiritual race can only be run with endurance when we find our strength in Christ [Ps 28:7]! “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength”. To wait means 1.) to remain in a state in which you expect [Ps 62:5]or hope[Jer 17:7] and 2.) to serve[Ps 100:2], to attend as a servant. So, as we run the race set before us, where is our hope and who are we serving? Ultimately, who are we running for? :) As we run for, Hope in, and serve the Lord, He will renew our strength! We will “run and not grow weary”. That is a promise! ?
2 QUESTIONS!! ? How did week 1 of the SPRING100 go for you?? Where was your favorite walking location for week 1? I would love to have each of you answer 1 or both questions in the comment section ↓below↓!!
And now it’s time for the Week1 100MileMonday Photo Round-up!! To all who submitted photos, THANK YOU! There are still quite a few who haven’t submitted photos and joined in the fun.

Ps 92:5 hope you have a lovely evening!! ????
No photos taken yet. Walked in the neighborhood. Grateful for the snippets of color and scents from flowering bushes and trees.

Three cheers to the many Spring100 walkers! What fun to all be walking towards the same goal though in different locations! :)
1. This first week went pretty well – in tallying up the results I realized my tennis shoes made it outdoors four times this week!!
2. My favorite walking place this week was our local park!
This new week, may He not only give us the strength to keeping walking but the focus to stay our thoughts on Him!!
Isn’t it wonderful to be walking together with so many across the miles?! :) Such a fun blessing!!
1.) Yippee!!! ???? Way to go. :)
2.) One day you will have to talk me on a walk there! :D
Amen! Isaiah 26:3, “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” <3 Happy walking, Melanie!!
What a fun post! Thanks for the encouragement, Rachel.
Good job everyone!
Have a lovely week fellow runners!

???? Ps 16:8
Hi! So far our walks have been awesome!!!
A quick question: What if I don’t get to logging my miles on Monday? Will it still work on Tuesday?
Keep up the good work everyone!!
Annie
Hello Annie!! Glad to hear that. :)
It definitely will work on Tuesday or even a week later. ???????? Just go back to the post with the form containing the week your logging for. So let’s say you couldn’t get around to logging week 2’s miles until week 3. Just go back to the correct post containing the week 2 form to log week 2!! ☺????
Okay. Thank you so much!!!! =)
You’re most welcome! ☺????
