Going Back...+

TODAY IS THE START OF MY STREAK WITH (GOD & RUNNING)...+
Let Go And Let God...+ JacobsHeart/Music.... ( = "Let Go And Let God"...+
Power-Verse from God: Hebrews 10:25...+
....25: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
.
Inspired Thoughts: When we truly "Let Go And Let God" take over our life in everything we do or say there will simply be no limits as to what we and God can do. God meaning God, Jesus, & the Holy Ghost...+
....We, the (Jacobs-Family) have alot to do for (God), so it's time we go back to the (Gospel-Tabernacle) and start doing it...+
.
Going Back...+ ( = "Thank-God" /That...+
....This coming Wednesday evening I will take my family and we, (Andrew, Roxie & Jimmy), will go back to our old home church the (Gospel-Tabernacle) to start with new beginnings.
....We plan to work for God in this church until God tells us different, and with that we've got alot to do.
....1) We sing by soundtrack so many beautiful songs that God has given others...+
....2) We sing accappella the beautiful songs that God has given to us personally....+
....3) Andrew sings some beautiful songs by himself somtimes such as (Jesus Loves Me) and (God Bless America).
....4) Roxie sings in the Choir the beautiful songs that God so graciously inspired someone to write...+
....5) I, Jimmy, play the drums for the church whenever I'm given the chance to. I also preach God's holy word when called upon to do so.
....6) We will help with Sunday School, Children's-Church, Morning-Worship, or Church-in-General, in any way possible if we are asked to do so.
....7) We will attend this church whenever the doors are open if we are not working or visiting our Mom & Dad's church which is the (Whittaker Ridge Assemly of God) near our home town of Cedar Bluff, Virginia. The Pastor is Sister (Merilyn Morris), who is truly a (Great-Woman of God & Good-Friend)...+
.
My 2-Streaks ( = "Thank-God"...+
....(I will log my 2-Streaks from "Monday through Sunday" each week because "Saturday & Sunday" is the weekend)....+
.
Inspired "Running" Thoughts: In my opinion, (Running-Every-Day), is just as easy as running, (4-Days-Weekly), if you don't run hard every day and simply take it very easy with only, (1-Continuous-mile), to keep your streak alive whenever you need to ( = "Thank-God"...+

2-Streaks and a Bonus Plan...+

Let Go And Let God...+ JacobsHeart/Music.... ( = "Just Like Eagles"...+

Power-Verse from God: Isaiah 40:31...+

....31: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

.

Inspired Thoughts: Someday, (Very Soon I Believe), God's trumpet will sound in glory, Jesus will return to earth for his prescious bride that awaits him, and when that happens we will like eagles fly to that beautiful city called Heaven.

.

2-Streaks and a Bonus Plan...+ ( = "Thank-God" 4/This Plan, hehe...+

The Rules are Very Simple...+

....1) If I spend 1-continuous-hour with God I get $1.00. ( =

....2) If I run 1-continuous-mile with God every day I get $1.00...+

....3) At the end of the week if I have $14.00 I get an extra $1.00 for not missing any day in seven days with (God or Running). ( =

....4) If I don't miss a day with either (God or Running) in 2-weeks I will end up with $30.00 each time I get a pay day...+

....5) If I don't miss a day with either (God or Running) in 4-weeks I will end up with $60.00 for the entire month which equals 2-full pay-days from RCMC. ( =

....6) I will put this in my already planned Pickle-Jar that I have made into a Bonus-Plan-Bank...+

....7) I will spend this money on things I want such as Soundtracks, running stuff, etc.... ( =

Inspired "Running" Thoughts: If it wasn't for faster runners in my age group at the local 5k or 10k = (45----49), I would have no real reson to race...+

....Why pay 15 to 20-dollars just for fun, lol. ( =

Let Go And Let God...+ JacobsHeart/Music.... ( = "I'm Free"...+
Power-Verse from God: John 8:36...+
....36: If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
.
Inspired Thoughts: Chorus to Above "JacobsHeart/Song"...+
....I'm free, I'm free, oh yes I'm free from sin.
....I am happy and I know my heart is clean.
....So if you want him to, to try and get your Heavenly crown.
....Just give your heart to Jesus and lay your burdens down.
.
If you will confess your sins, and ask Jesus to come into your heart he will save you with the redemption power of his prescious blood, that he so freely gave us long ago on Calvary's Cross, and you indeed will be free. Yes, Free-Forever...+
.
2-Goals Streaks...+ ( = "Thank-God"...+
1) God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost...+
....A) I plan to this coming Sunday - October 18, 2009 to take my family, (Roxie & Andrew), back to the Gospel Tabernacle where we attend sometimes, and make that our home church for good.
....B) I plan to spend some quality time with God every day, in reading his divine word, in prayer, in fasting, in bible study, in music practice, in family devotions etc.
....C) All this will take place at my home in my already planned prayer closet, (which is my quiet place), where I can have peace & joy daily serving a Divine Holy God. (Whenever possible I will spend time with family & God in all these things mentioned above), and know all this will only take place with God, Jesus, the Holy Ghost, and the strength they give me to do it...+
.
2) Running - Supported by God, Jesus, the Holy Ghost, Family, & Friends...+
...A) I will start running this Sunday - October 18, 2009 with an easy 4-mile run, and run every day after that for as long as I can...+
....B) Only with God's help and the strength God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost gives to run each day.
....C) Only with the support of (Roxie & Andrew), my wife & son, and the support of "Family & Friends" everywhere.
.
Streak Rules: ( = "Thank-God" 4/God, Family, Friends, & Running"...+
1) GOD = I must spend at least 1-continuous-hour with God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost every day for it to count to keep my streak alive.
.
2) Running = I must run at least 1-continuous-mile every day for it to count to keep my streak alive.
.
With God all this is possible = READ: Matthew 19:26...+
.
Inspired "Running" Thoughts: You don't have to run every day to be a runner, but you do have to be a runner to run every day. ( = God Bless...+

Be A Kid At Heart.... +

Let Go And Let God.... + A Favorite Song.... ( : "Where Are The Children".... +
God's Word Today: Luke 18:16.... +
....16: But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
.
Inspired Thoughts: We are the (Children of God), and when we come to God or Jesus with Holy Ghost power for any reason we need to come as a little child. Humble, honest, and not afraid of anything.
.
Be A Kid At Heart.... +
....Sometimes we need to do just this = "Be A Kid At Heart". Because many times we take things way to serious, and with that it only brings us pain when we don't do everything we want to do.
....Most kids you see at a local 5k race only cares about 1-thing. That 1-thing I've seen many times is (Getting to the Finish-Line). They put there whole heart into it just like we do, but they are also having fun. But many times over that's not how it is with me = Adults.
....We are always looking for different things, such as an age group trophy, a faster time, and so on. Yes I always enjoyed these things, but we should never take the fun out of our running even when we show up for the local 5k.
....This week I started back after a little lay-off again. It's when our life in general is not fun anymore that we get lazy. Lazy on God, a lazy runner, etc. But if we are in good health, getting our bills paid even though we only break even at times we should be happy, and have fun with everything we do. When we let go of the happiness in us and quit having fun we will never (Run like God wants us to Run). Not in the "Spiritual or Physical", and all God really wants is for us to be happy.
....He even sent his only begotten Son-Jesus to die for us, and with that many are saved through the blood Jesus so freely gave us on Calvary's Cross. That includes me and my family = "Andrew-Roxie-Jimmy", many family members, and friends that I know, ( : "Thank-God." +
.
,,,,So with a new start this week, I plan to get happy and do my best to take every day from now on as a little child. I want to "Be A Kid At Heart".... + M Prayers are with you that (You-Do-The-Same-Thing). In the end we will have more peace & joy than we could have ever imagined in Heaven.
.
Inspired "Running" Thoughts: Don't be so serious all the time. Make it happy, and I'm sure your running will be blessed beyond measure. That is with God's help = God, Jesus, & the Holy Ghost.... +

Resting My Back.... +

Let Go And Let God.... + JacobsHeart.... ( : "Resting In God's Arms".... +
God's Word Today: Psalm 116:7.... +
....7: Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
.
Inspired Thoughts: No matter what we are facing in this life, or what we are up against we are still always "Resting In God's Arms".... +
....There may be some mountains to climb, but God is right there with us teaching us to climb.... ( :
....There may be some valleys to walk through, but again Jesus is right there with us leading the way, and giving us added strength to help us make it to the other side.... +
.
WITH = God, Jesus, & the Holy Ghost, there is simply nothing we cannot do.... ( :
.
Resting My Back.... +
....I decided to rest my back this week with very little running, continue to take my meds, and be ready to start fresh next week. That is, with some serious running 5-days on with 2-days off for now. I will add mileage to my overall weekly total as time goes on, and in the end, (with God's help & strength to run), be ready to do some local racing.
.
....My goal is to race the War Party 10k on Saurday - January 30, 2010. The "Race" takes place at Warriors Path State Park in Kingsport, Tennessee. The same place where on February 13, 1999 I finished 4th overall and ran my 10k-PR in a time of 38.57.06 which equals (6.18) pace.
.
....Beginning this Sunday - August 15, 2009 I will have 24-solid weeks to get ready for my goal race, and with God's help I can surely be ready to race when that time comes. I've got all the running gear I need including shoes = 2-pair of Asics DS Trainers, 2-pair of Asics SD Turbo, a pair of New Balance 430's, & 2-pair of Nike Shox.
.
So nothing can stop me now, but "ME". So with God's help and the support of my family I will see no more lazzzzy-days ahead of me. God has richly blessed me so much in my running and if I know God, Jesus, & the Holy Ghost this time will be no different = I truly ( : "Thank-God." 4/That.... + I also truly ( : "Thank-God." 4/My Family = (Roxie & Andrew) that loves to see Dad run.... +
.
Inspired "Running" Thoughts: Sometimes we need the added rest. My ole "Back" is feeling alot better, but to benefit my running I'm taking this week off to completely rest, continue to take my meds, and be ready to start fresh next week.

Rock-n-Roll Running.... +

Let Go And Let God.... + JacobsHeart.... ( : "My Foot Is On the Rock And My Name Is On the Roll".... +
God's Word Today: 1 Corinthians 10:4
....4: And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
>>>>>>> ( :
Revelation 13:8
....8: And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
.
Inspired Thoughts: Like the song says "My Foot Is On The Rock and My Name Is On The Roll".... +
....JESUS is the Rock, and I stand upon him daily to make it in this "Spiritual Race" that we Christians are all running. Without Jesus I know for sure that I would never make it home = Heaven.
....My name (Jimmy) is written in the (Lamb's Book of Life) which is God's Roll. One day (God) will make his "Roll Call" and all those that he calls will enter into the joys of the Lord = Heaven.
.
Rock-n-Roll Running.... +
1) (Jesus is the Rock) and my (Strength to Run). If I will stand on him daily I can accomplish anything from a fast 5k to another Marathon. It's up to me what I choose to do, but it's God that gives me the strength to do it. I truly "Thank-God" for that "Strength" every single day.
.
2) (My Name is on God's Roll) which is the (Lamb's Book of Life). With that I have joy to run knowing that if God calls me home at any moment I will be in Heaven. What a great feeling it is to have your sins under Jesus Prescious Blood, and to be ready at any moment to fly to Heaven.
.
....I decided yesterday to end my GOAL "Running-Streak" with only 13-days into it. I have decided to run 5-days each week with 2 full days of rest. So my new schedule will go something like this.
Sunday = "Off".... +
Monday = 7-miles
Tuesday = 8-miles
Wednesday = "Off".... ( :
Thursday = 8-miles
Friday = 7-miles
Saturday = 10-miles
----
For a weekly total of 40-miles.
( : "Thank-God." +
----
....The reason is I want to get everything I can out of my running and deep down I think 2-days off each week will help me alot more than it will hurt me. Plus it gives my body (including my ole "back") a couple of breaks each week to completely rest. I always took 1 or 2-days off before and it never hurt my times, and I'm completely sure with God's help and strength to run this time will be no different, ( : "Thank-God." +
.
Inspired "Running" Thoughts: Bruce Robison, (A runner & friend), told me I should maybe take 2-days off each week. Well I've thought alot about what he said and it sonds like aplan to me.
....My ole "Back" seems to ache more than it used to, and 2-days of rest will certainly help a runner more than it will hurt one. "Thanks for the advice, Man". I pray that (God) will bless all "Las Vegas Runners including Bruce Robison".... +

Day Thirteen.... +

Let Go And Let God.... + JacobsHeart.... ( : "Let Go And Let God Fight".... +
In God's Word: 1 John 4:4.... +
....4: Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.... +
.
Inspired Thoughts: Yes when it seems that there is no hope in our battles down here, if we will stand in the midst of the battle, "Let Go And Let God Fight" we will win every time. God has overcome the world, so that means God in us has also overcome the world, ( : "Thank-God." 4/That.... +
.
Day Thirteen.... +
....Creeper Trail = 1m in (9.28).... + A very easy mile to end my week. I hope to get going with my goal running schedule next week, and end up with 40 total miles run = But only with God's grace & his strength to run.... +
.
Inspired "Running" Thoughts: Running fast all the time will only lead to 1-thing = INJURY.... ( : Now you don't want that do you???? I sure don't.... +

Andrew-Roxie-Jimmy-God-Jesus-Holy Ghost.... ( : "God-Bless-All" is my Prayer.... +

Day Twelve.... +

Let Go And Let God....+ Song by Alabama.... ( : "Angels Among Us".... +
In God's Word ( : Hebrews 13:2.... +
....2: Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.... +
.
Inspired Thoughts: Sometimes I think angels are even around us when we are walking, running, biking, swimming, etc.... ( :
Did You Know????
....(JESUS is a RUNNER). Why do I know this? Because with every mile I've ran "JESUS has been right there with ME".... +
.
Day Twelve... +
....Wachovia's Mile = 1m in (7.52.12).... + I had a nice run today. Only wanted to run one to keep my "streak" alive, and I truly "Thank-od" he allowed me to do just that. God has richly blessed me.... +
.
Inspired "Running" Thoughts: If you can't log 1-mile every day you will never log 2, or 3, or, 4 every day = Got It.... +

Day Eleven - A Little Rain.... +

Let Go And Let God.... + JacobsHeart/Music.... ( : "Don't Look Back".... +

In God's Word: Luke 9:62.... +

....62: And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough,and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

.

Inspired Thoughts: When we get saved because Jesus so graciuosly gave his life freely on Calvary's Cross over 2000 years ago for us, he remembers our past no more. It's like we never lived it as far as God is concerned. But many times we can't get out of our past, and with that it only causes us to stay down. We will never grow in God like that. But with Holy Ghost power we can (fast & pray), and with God leading the way we can remove every mountain in our life = "even our sinful past".... +

....We simply can't give up - We Have To Keep Running 4/God and moving forward in this Heavenly race if we ever expect to cross the finish line someday when we will meet the one who died for us = "King-Jesus" = God's Only Begotten Son, that was begottne by the Holy Ghost. Take these 3, (The Blessed Trinity), with you wherever you go and you will be a winner always.

.

Time Spent with God.... +

....Early Morning: I read Proverbs 1 & Prayed for 15-minutes. I had planned to run right after that, but my family got up and we went out for breakfast.

....2-hours 4/God: I read (Luke 7 - 9) & then Prayed for just over 30-minutes. After that I went over my message = "The Valley Of Regrets".... + I hope to preach this message very soon, and I truly "Thank-God" for the call he placed in the hearts of me and my family to preach and sing the gospel of Jesus Christ which is the divine word of God = The Bible.... +

.

Day Eleven - a Little Rain.... +

....It rained a little today. It wasn't but a sprinkle, but it sure felt good due to the humidity that was in the air @ 72-degrees. (I almost wish it had come a good shower). I haven't ran in the rain but a few times in the past 3 or 4 years = Man! What's up with that? Because I used to every time it rained back in the day.... +

....Home/Town Run - 3-miles in (27.06.12). It was probably a few tenths under 3, but I'm going to log 3 miles on my shoes = "old" Asics SD Turbo/310m's.

....I felt fine today, but I only wanted a few miles, and so far I'm doing fine. God has really blessed me in the 11-days I've been running, and as far as I'm concerned he will continue to do that as long as I put him 1st above everything else in my life. After that everything else must be put before my running such as family, friends, work, etc.

....Still I will get my miles in and keep on running. TODAY IS THE START OF A BRAND NEW = "JIMMY/JTORNADOMAN/JACOBS" = "CHRISTIAN/DAD/HUSBAND", but only with the help of (GOD, JESUS, & the HOLY GHOST).... +

.

Inspired "Running" Thoughts: Elite runners were once beginners because you've simply got to start somewhere. (So remember with God's help & strength to run there is still hope for the rest of us).... ( : "Thank-God." +
