Is anyone else out there a square peg??  Sometimes I scratch my head and wonder why I "feel" so different.  I wonder if most of us feel this way but try and "fit in" where we see an open spot.

Having children has pushed me to take a firmer stand on where my loyalty and values lie.  I am more eager to speak out and protect my family where I once felt I had no voice.  I wonder if I take this to the extreme at times?

I want to run "my own race" and stop focusing on the runners around me.  I don't want to be concerned with the critics who question "my form".  I want the only opinion that truly matters to me to be God's.  I don't want to settle for anything less than God's best!

Let's cheer each other on throughout this amazing race we are blessed to run.   Let's put  on our running shoes; whatever brand, color, size or condition they are in.  This is your race; run, jog, walk, or skip.  Make it your own!
