"I Will Run This Race"

"I Will Run This Race"

July 8, 2014

Here's one of my new favorite running songs sung by Kristene Mueller.  The words say so much about my life with Joshua.  The love reminds me of the love of our Savior for Joshua, for me, and for all of us, and how hard our race in life can be.  

When I made the Savior's love for Joshua part of every day life, caring for Joshua no longer became a burden, but became an honor and a joy.  Joshua really was a "runner" his whole life!  And he escaped whenever and wherever he could.  That kept me running too!  :)  So now that he is gone, I run, and it is hard, but I do it in memory of  myJoshua and to keep strong in the race of life.

Thinking of Joshua and how hard his life could be for him, compels me to try harder each minute, and each day. Our journey together really was a good fight of faith, so worth fighting for, and completely captured my heart.

"Homeward Bound"

 I will run, I will run this race,

And I will do it all for love.

Your love compels me forward,

Your love controls my heart,

And I just can't, I cannot get away.

So I will fight this good fight of faith,

And I will do

it all for love.
You are my great reward,
You're so worth fighting for
And I can't wait to see Your face.

So I will run, I will run this race,
And I will do it all for love.
Your love compels me forward,
Your love controls my heart,
And I just can't, I cannot get away.

So I will fight this good fight of faith,
And I will do it all for love.
You are my great reward,
You're so worth fighting for
And I can't wait to see Your face,
And I can't wait to see Your face.

Hallelujah
