on running.

I am a runner. I run.

And no, I am not talking about the exercise of running.

I run from people. I run because I am scared. Of the future. Of trusting others. Of trusting myself. Because I know I will let myself down. I know I will let others down.

And when it comes down to it. I run. I run from God. I don't trust God. And I fall into a cycle of running.

And I don't know how to stop. And it is tearing me apart.

So how do I stop? Well, as a runner, I honestly don't know.

But this I do know. In order to stop doing what I know I should not do, I have to replace it with what I should do instead. (Romans 7:19-20).

So rather than running away from people and the future, why don't I run towards something else?

Why don't I run towards Christ? (Hebrews 12:1-2).

So. I may be a runner. But am I running in the right direction?

I can only start by changing one step at a time.
