walking counts.

don't just serve God.
serve God well.
don't miss out on the joy and satisfaction
of being with God and being used by Him.
keep running.
run light.
we are not alone in the run.
dare to run.

sometimes walking is all we can do. but in those times, walking is enough. maybe it is when life is the hardest, when we want so badly to quit, but we say to God, "i won't quit. i'll keep putting one foot in front of the other. i'll take up my cross. i'll follow Jesus even on this road." Maybe God prizes our walking even more than our soaring and our running. it is a hard thing to be a walker when you are surrounded by racers and eagles. but sometimes walking is the best we can offer God. He understands all about that. walking counts, too. - john ortberg
