Hebrews 12:1-2

WEEK 4 MILEAGE FORM

…………………………

It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
Psalm 18:32-33

How was week 4 of the Spring100 for you all?? It’s been a blessed week of walking for me. We had quite the weather roller-coaster here in North East Texas! ?☔❄☀ I love Psalm 18 and verses 32-33 are perfect as we enter a new week. This portion of Psalm 18 is my go-to when I feel “too tired” or lack motivation! It is going to be the Lord who gives us the strength to spiritually run with endurance and physically finish this Spring100 challenge strong. He makes our way perfect! So, if you find you’re getting tired and lacking endurance, look steadfastly to the Lord and He will renew your strength! He makes our feet like hinds feet and sets us on high places.  That’s an incredible promise! This week’s verses on the Spring100 calendar are 1 Corinthians 9:24-25, Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.  And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.” Pretty amazing, isn’t it?! In God’s strength, let’s run to win.  I am praying for each of you this new week of the SPRING100. Have fun walking/running week 5!!??

About Rachel

"Come now, and let us reason together," says the Lord, "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword"; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken." Isaiah 1:18-20

  1. To answer this week’s question: my dream walking destination would be gorgeous Northern California! ☀️❤️ It’s so beautiful, and the weather is like perfect… ☺️
    But I’m grateful to live Texas!

    1. Northern California sounds lovely!! ☺️? Keep up the wonderful work, Elisha!

      For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness;
      his countenance doth behold the upright.-Ps 11:7 ?

  2. Loved this! Thanks for the encouragement! I also know you put in a lot of time compiling the pictures. Thank you!

    My top fave place no doubt would be hiking in he mountains of Colorado.

    1. Aw, thank you so much Sarah!!! You are always an encouragement. It’s truly a privilege to compile! ?☺️

      ?? I figured CO would be top choice! ?⛰ Keep up the great work, Sarah!!

      Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.-Ps 16:11✨?

  3. So hard to pick a favorite. I’m so thankful for my trail! But some Rocky Mountains or sandy beaches would be amazing ?

    1. A sandy beach walk sounds pretty fantastic!! Can I join you?!! ?? Have fun walking/running week 5, Anna. ?

      The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock;and let the God of my salvation be exalted.-Ps 18:46 ?

  4. Beaches would be lovely!! But I love VA! We also had crazy weather this week; actually had a tornado touch down a mile from us last night! Loved seeing all the pictures from this past week! Everybody keep up the good work!

    1. So glad you are safe after that touch down, Elizabeth!!! ?? Keep up the great work. You are doing fantastic!!! ?

      I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress:
      my God; in him will I trust.-Ps 91:2

  5. I am happy to walk anywhere with family or a good friend ,but must confess I am partial to mountains ! There’s nothing quite like reaching the summit of a peak and surveying the vastness of creation below. I live in an excellent location for mountains. Arizona is full of them !

    1. I agree, reaching the mountain top and looking down definitely is a humbling reminder of God’s great power. I always think of Psalm 46 when I’m blessed with a mountain walk! ☺️❤️ Ah!! You definitely live in a lovely state!! Enjoy it and this new week of the Spring100. ⛰?

      “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.”Psalms‬ ‭46:1-3‬ ‭

  6. I’d love to be walking in Port A. right now. It is about 1/2 mile from our vacation spot to my favorite coffee shop, so I’d have my mile done in just one latte! ??? There are so many energetic and fun photos this week!!! So nice to see all the faces I’m walking with!!

    1. I’d love to join you for a walk to the coffee shop!! ??

      He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.-Ps 91:15

  7. I am enjoying doing the Spring 100 with everyone this year! The pictures have been wonderful…keep them coming!
    I’m not picking a favorite place to walk, but favorite circumstances for walking…somewhere flat, cool but dry, and the wind not over
    5 miles an hour! But maybe I’m just thinking of heaven….

    Thanks for all your time and effort you put into Spring 100. Rachel

    Love,
    Carolyn Griggs

    1. I’m so thankful you are enjoying it, Mrs Griggs! ? This is such a blessing to hear. ☺️ Hehe, your comment made me smile! Yes, Praise the Lord, our heavenly walks will be pristinely perfect and glorious. Can’t wait!! ??

      Ah, praise the Lord and thank you for the encouragement.(Ps 115:1) Thank YOU for being a part of the Spring100!! ?

      “With long life will I satisfy him,
      and shew him my salvation.” Ps 91:16

  8. I would love to walk in the Holy Land someday. Walking among the ruins of what people in the Bible saw is so amazing. This was another fun post!!

    1. If you go, take me with you!! ??‍♀️?? That would be a tremendously humbling trip/walk.
      So glad you enjoyed it!!! I had a blast putting it together. ☺️?

      It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High-Ps 92:1

  9. Hi
    Everyone, I agree with Bethany G, the holy land for me as well. Ravi Zacharias was at my church on Sunday and talked on the book of Nehemiah and how he went back home to rebuild Jerusalem……
    Thank You…..

    1. ☺️❤️ the Holy Land is a beautiful choice, Kashima!!

      O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.- Ps 92:5

    Had a wonderful week 4 looking forward to week 5!

    1. Ooooh!!! Fun choices Hannah!!! ??
      So glad you had fun seeing everyone. Keep up the great work!! ??

      The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.-Ps 97:6

  11. Oh, WOW! This post is too much FUN!…. I love every picture! ❤️? My dream location…. hmmmmmm, such a hard question!? I think I’d pick Estes Park Colorado??, it’s beautiful there!… It would also be neat to take a Spring100 walk in the Redwood forest in California???, I’ve never been there… that would be amazing! BUT I guess anywhere where your able to witness Gods creation is “amazing”!??

    1. Ooooh, I want to go walking with you at the Redwood forest!!! ?????

      The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.-Ps 103:8

  12. Loved this post!

    Annie

  13. I would have to say Scotland would be my dream place to walk. It is Soo beautiful there in the highlands. I enjoyed all the pictures, especially Jenny’s picture with her dogs–I love Huskies–and Rachel S.’s picture with Tower Bridge. Keep up the great work, everyone!

    1. ? Scotland would be a gorgeous place to walk the Spring100!! ???
      Wasn’t Jenny’s picture so energetic. Looks like those dogs are keeping her in her toes!! ???

      Keep up the wonderful work, Hannah! ?

      The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever:
      the Lord shall rejoice in his works.-Ps 104:34

  14. Thanks for another great post, Rachel! Dream place to walk? Somewhere that is always 70 degrees and sunny, instead of having snow every weekend! :-)

    1. Thank you for helping make it a wonderful Spring100 post!! ?☺️ Hehe, Lord willing y’all should get that perfect spring weather soon!! ?

      Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the Lord;
      for he is good:
      for his mercy endureth for ever.-Ps 106:1

  15. Oh I would love, to walk the beach, out west following a cow trail, or in Europe wandering around the countryside. I couldn’t pick! Haha But the best walks, are with company. ?
    I loved the walk this past week. I forgot to send in a picture of the heifer, that was threatening to charge me when I wanted to walk by. ?
    Love looking at the pictures and reading the comments!

    1. I agree, the best walks truly are with company!! ☺️❤️
      ? I’m so glad it chose not to charge you. ??

      So thankful your loving the post!! Thank you for being a part of it. ☺️?

      Seek the Lord, and his strength:
      seek his face evermore.-Ps 105:4

  16. Fantastic photos this week y’all! I really like all the walking destination choices everyone has thought of. For me I’d say walking in the mountains; maybe the Blue ridge mountains in NC. Though Ireland sounds very intriguing!

    Thanks for an encouraging post, Rachel!

    Have a fabulous weekend y’all!
