Thinking back to my first marathon, I was naive just like a child. I trained by myself in Statesboro, GA (flat terrain), but the marathon was in Atlanta. I went by a plan that I got out of a running magazine. Needless to say, I had to do my hill work on the treadmill. I got to the race, not knowing what to expect. The marathon was on Thanksgiving Day ,so after the half finished, most of the spectators were gone. The day was an overcast with a few sprinkles and hight humidity. I wore all cotton clothes. At that point, I knew nothing about dri-fit, and I had my cumbersome walkman. There were no such things as ipods. The amazing part of the whole race, was that I finished that race with one of my best marathon times. I went into the race with faith like a child. As Christians, sometimes we forget what our faith was like when we first accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior. We forget the simple step of trusting in Him with our entire life. Children are quick to trust. Jesus wants us all to come to Him with faith like a child. As adults, we fear the unknown, we are quick to be critical and judgmental, and we do not trust God with many of our circumstances. I challenge us all, Christians and those who are contemplating in trusting Him, ask Him to help you to have faith like a child. Have no inhibitions, like when I ran my first marathon.
