Just Keep Walking!
Interstate 20 runs behind our house. Part of my route that I walk in the mornings is on the access road. People are in such a mad rush in the mornings, that they come speeding down the road. Some see me and move over, others portray a rude demeanor and will not move! (I really have to watch my attitude) I walk toward the traffic so I can see them coming. I value my life! HA! I have to jump up on the grass as they pass to get out of there way.
When we walk out this life, we have to keep our eyes open and stay alert!
A personal example: The last two weeks, I have felt “out of sorts”. Family issues have been tough following the death of Mark’s father. The first 2 months, I was busy helping Mark, his mom and my children deal with this tremendous loss. Now, I guess it’s my turn to sort things out. I saw this coming! I know it is temporary! I am determined to “keep walking”. I am not going to crawl in a hole and isolate myself. God is so faithful to walk with us, but He wants us to “keep walking” with Him!
Just this morning, a lady come out of her house and asked me, “How do you walk, day after day, no matter what the weather does?” I told her that I was just determined to “keep walking”. She said, “I see you everyday and you inspire me.”
We never know when and how we will touch someone’s life. Something that we think is so simple to us, will turn out to be big in someone’s life.
Do I see the result of my walking on the outside of my physical body? (not really! disappointing sometimes!) I am believing though, that inside my muscles, heart, blood, and other functions are healthier.
Sometimes we can’t “see” the results of our determination to “just keep walking” through life, no matter what, but inside you are healthier, you will insire others and not even know it because that is the goodness of God in everything!
Please! Just Keep Walking!

Please! Just keep hogging! Thank you so much for that word. I will "amen" this as loud as I can amen anything. We are so driven by what we see and don't see sometimes that we forget about all those things working on the inside that are so important. That's my whole soap box about the physical end of it. It shouldn't matter or be the goal how we look in a swimsuit or not, but it should VERY much matter that we want to be around for the long haul by taking care of our bodies and doing good things for them. Same applies for the spiritual. Ruth Gregory is a superstar!!
