• I believe God made me for a purpose

  In my training I did a personal best for 7 miles - completing the distance in 1 hour and 4 minutes - also I completed a 1/4 mile in 1 minute, 25 seconds, which also is a personal best (in training).   Reminds me a quote which I read in Bethany Hamilton's book - where she quotes Eric Liddell, quote:

  "I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast. And when I run I feel His pleasure."

  Not that I am a fast runner - but I am challenging myself - to improve and to know that God is pleased.
