Walking allows you to take in your surroundings, running you could miss something important.
It's been probably four years since I have a daily walk; you know back during the pandemic that was all we could do. Back in 2020, I think I took two walks a day, there was nothing to do. I survived y'all, I was homeschooled.
Yesterday, I went to lunch with a friend, who enjoys running.
I smiled and responded,
'I am so happy you found something to make you happy, but God didn't create me to run.'
I'm ALWAYS down for a walk and I would like to start hiking. Maybe hiking will be my challenge next month, but the one for this month is to walk a mile every day. An intentional mile. I can get a mile walk in when I'm out with my dog. By being intentional, I am slowing down and taking in what's around me.
My walking path is my driveway and it as well as my house are both in a forest. As I left the house this morning, a slight drizzle was falling, but that just added to my experience. The trees have no leaves on them, but in a few weeks, everything will be blooming. One of my favorite things is to walk in the rain, but this morning I really wanted to stay in the house, where it was dry and warm, but I braved the elements to complete today's March challenge.
I was messaging a friend today and she said,
"Every day do something that pushes you. Choose bravery."
The opposite of bravery is fear. When God created us, he did not give a spirit of fear, but one of love. Love is brave.
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightening, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."-Joshua 1:9ESV
Let's choose to be brave.
Stay strong!
