Going Jogging

I've planned to go jogging multiple times over the last month since the last time I went to the gym. It hasn't happened yet. Tomorrow morning a friend is going jogging with me bright and early before work, and tomorrow there won't be the option of hitting the snooze button on the alarm clock one more time, or an excuse of tiredness or better things to do. I will simply get up and go jogging. All the days I've thought about going to the gym or purposed to go, but let it fall through, and now one person to hold me accountable and encourage me and it's going to happen for real this time. I've been thinking lately about community. How important it is for me to have the church to encourage my faith, to spur me on, to hold me accountable, to push me further than I would have gone alone. No more only thinking about pursuing God; no more excuses of little time to serve; no more passionless moments in prayer. I'm a part of the Body of Christ. “. . . Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:24-25)
