Our culture tends to define our identity as all the things we do or accomplish in a day. But sometimes we just need to calm down and spend some time soothing our souls. Lately I've been feeling caught up in all that, but today on my run I was able to relax and spend some time with my thoughts, and with God, and just enjoying the beautiful nature that I was running through. Its amazing all this stuff I've been worrying about I can just talk to God about it and he doesn't want us to worry about anything. It is hard to trust all these things to someone else, but I feel so much less heavy knowing that God is right there with me carrying my burdens and working out my little problems. And I didn't have to go out and save the world or do x number of hours of devotions, He just loves us for who we are. Hm. And all this on a run. Just takes setting aside all the stress of the world and taking some time for solitude.
