Praying Mantis

663px-praying_mantis_indiaI had a wonderful experience today. I was running a few miles along a paved path this afternoon. About 1 mile in i noticed something on the ground a few yards in front of me; it was a praying mantis. Before I could think too much about how cool Praying Mantis’ are, I ran by another one right in the middle of my path. “That’s odd.” I said to myself. Then just a few yards farther, two more were right on my running path. There were 4 Praying Mantis’ just sitting in the middle the path that I passed in a matter of 30 seconds.

If you’ve been keeping up with my posts you know that I’m in a tough transition stage of my life right now. I’m leaving my position at come2go ministries. It’s been an emotional roller coaster. But I’ve been so encouraged by tons of people calling, emailing & going out of their way to tell me that they’re praying for me.

As I passed those 4 Praying Mantis’, I felt God tell me that everyone who has been praying for me is helping me run my race and enabling me to continue running strong and hard. Thank you all for your prayers; they accomplish more than you know.
