RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN

In case you didn't know...

I'm a runner.

Okay, maybe not in the physical sense.
However, in all other aspects of my life I seem to be a marvelous runner.
I should get a gold medal or something.

I run from scary opportunities.
I run from new situations.
I run from change.
And unfortunately I find myself running from Jesus when things get frightening.

Or at least, that seems to be my reputation.
Luckily, Jesus isn't concerned with my past track record.
He isn't mad that I ran from Him.
He's just glad to have me back. 

The past couple of weeks should have been positively dreadful. My great aunt whom I love was on life support. Someone jacked my debit card info and seems to be having a wonderful time spending my money. People that I love more than life itself are facing struggles and tragedy that I never could have imagined. And to top it all off, God all of sudden showed me that I was pursuing the wrong major at NGU. 

However, I have felt more grace and peace this week than I have in a very, very long time. Everytime I start to have anxiety over these situations, Jesus just seems to show me that He is going to work it all out for His glory. 

Normally, I would be practically hyper-ventilating (sorry if I spelled that word wrong. hehe) over the amount of stress that I feel right now. 
But something has changed.

You see, I am still running. 

But now I am running as fast as I can toward the open arms of my Jesus. Instead of running in the opposite direction, I am just going to be vulnerable for once and let Him catch me in His Love. 

What are you running from?
Who/What are you running to?
