Some of you should know about the fact that this fall sports season, I joined cross country.

To say the very least, it stunk a lot at the beginning. Hardcore. I did not know what I was getting myself into. I did not realize how hard I'd be pushed, and how slow I truly was. I was embarrassed that I was slower than everyone else, and was really hard on myself for not being able to run as fast as everyone else, and wanted to quit the team.

But one day, while I was running, I thought of something. G-d had given me cross country, when my brother joined years ago. This was surely Satan trying to steal this from me, by making me want to quit! I wasn't about to let Satan win. If G-d wanted me to run, I was gonna run!

So I stayed on the team, and kept running. The thoughts of quitting stopped, and I slowly began to get stronger and faster, and didn't have to stop as much.

This season, I started out with a three mile time of 30 minutes. Today at districts, I ran varsity and got a time of 24:16, and my team is going to state next Saturday, and I found out that I'm gonna letter in cross country.

G-d gave this to me. He made me so much better in so little time, and there are no words to describe how thankful I am.

(Bit more than 500 words, I'm guessing. Sorry. ^^')

"The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life - only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accourd. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again." John 10:17-18

Great story!!! *applauds*

I'm planning on joining track this year and expecting a similar situation. Nice to have a plan worked out on how to kill Satan in that situation.

Anyways, amazing story and I'm so happy for you!! Good luck next Saturday!!

That is so amazing! I applaud your ability to fight Satan and to get past your pride.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight,O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Thanks guys. We got 8th out of 16 teams. Which is pretty cool, and we beat our rival. Always good. ^-^

But that course we ran on was horrible... to the extreme...
