What A Journey!

I thought hard and long about what this article should entail.

My head failed to come up with a lovely post, but an excellent mind came up with some soothing words.

Here is a beautiful piece from a friend and devotee. LOL. I'm sure some of us can relate to its content. Kindly read aloud on your beds, savor each paragraph, and be strengthened.

On your mark

Get set

Go!

These words were not spoken to me before I chose to pick up the baton to run this race.

I kept running without looking back, still am. But I haven't stopped to wonder what type of a race this is.

I mean, what type of a race validates a fall but rebukes a retreat, at the same time mandates its participants to uplift lagging/dropping mates right on the journey?

What type of a race encourages its athletes to run, not for the medal at the finish line but a love for the journey

What type of a race mounts up hurdles that limit its athlete's speed but strengthens their zeal and bearing? 

Or better still, what type of a race celebrates the entry of a new athlete to the track while its other participants are still on the move? 

Soon enough, I am less confused, as I realize that this is not just an ordinary race, but an extraordinary one that is being revered and referred to as the " Christian Race ."
