“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.”
Hebrews 12:1-3

“He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 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.”(Isaiah 40:29-31 )

Congrats, Caroline! Way-to-go! We walked about the same number of miles! (I stopped counting after 200.) Thanks for your cheerful presence this Spring 100!!

Thanks for all your encouraging comments and for cheering everyone on! :)
Let no corrupt word out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. Ephesians 4:29
I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called. With all lowliness and gentleness, with long suffering, bearing with one another in love. Ephesians 4:1-2
Have a beautiful day rejoicing in our Lord and Savoir Jesus Christ! :D
Amen! Thanks! You too!!
For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.1 Timothy 4:8
Of course, the word “little” here means “for a little time” which simply means that it isn’t eternal. The physical benefit of exercise lasts about 72 hours. Only spiritual things will last for an eternity. But good health and good stewardship of the bodies that God has blessed us with is important. I’m sure you know this, but just clarifying for any that might not know it! :-)
Amen! so true Shericlaude. :) Yes! good health and stewardship of the bodies that God has given us is SO important! And I do feel better after exercising!
In whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. Ephesians 2:22
Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Amen!! Perfect, beautiful verses!
Hard to believe we have reached the end of this challenge! It’s been wonderful to join in with everyone participating and to stay motivated. Great perseverance, all! Loved the video to wrap it all up. :)
Loved having you here for another Spring100, Hannah! THANK YOU ???
Hooray!!! Congratulations to everyone who reached the end, and even to those who didn’t! I’m pretty sure everyone who signed up walked/ran more than they would have without the challenge! ;) And I know that my family and I really enjoyed all the walks together. I’m glad I signed up for my first Spring100 this year, and I hope to participate again next year! :D Thank you so much for hosting it, Miss Rachel!!
Well done, Leona!!! Such a blessing to have you join the Spring100.?☺️??
Loved the video – so great to see so many shining faces! What a great spring this has been! A huge congratulations to all who pushed thru various distractions and difficulties to finish strong!
??☺️ It truly has been a great spring!!
Congratulations to everyone who paricipated in the challenge!!! Whether or not you made it to the finish line, you still got to join people from all over the world in walking and be a part. ? Let’s continue our physical walking as a reminder to be full of faith in our spiritual walks!
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
2 Corinthians 5:7
