Your Life Needs Your Unique God-Made Pace
By Keri Eichberger For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. - Ephesians 2:10 As my heart rate reached 175 beats per minute, lightheadedness shifted to disorientation. Hints of nausea grew to deep gut punches. My breath shallowed and shortened, held back by clenching lungs. But I had to keep pace with Mike. Per doctor's orders, he needed to increase his cardio, and I was determined to be my husband's accountability. I also figured I could use the boost for my aging body. So, one heavy foot in front of the other, I wouldn't stop. I climbed side-by-side, up the final tenth of a mile, also painfully the steepest stretch of our two-mile course. When we finally finished at our driveway, I grabbed my side, fought for a deep inhale, and waited for my heart to return to a rhythm that allowed steady breaths, a smidge of clarity, and words to be voiced. |
