Sanctuary Sharing

Greetings! Below is a status update my friend, Susan, placed on her Facebook account. She’s a physical education teacher, a long time runner, a tri-athlete and is in training to run an Iron Man race.

If you have a sanctuary, feel free share by commenting on this blog.

My sanctuary: running in the park alongside the river - beautiful day just as the sun begins to set and the sky turns into a masterpiece of colors - listening to Andy Stanley, Louie Giglio, and Chris Tomlin on my podcast - seeing old and new faces sharing the same moment - and walking away feeling refreshed and renewed. It’s as simple as that. Do you have a sanctuary?

    I’m particularly fond of early morning runs. As for my sanctuary, it would have to be the invigoration of a cool morning breeze running and watching for the sun to crest desert mountains. Sand and rock crunching under feet remind me that in this time and place I’m doing all humanly possible to commune with nature. Then it happens; the sun blazes its way above the mountains and sets the horizon on fire. Each and every time I’m humbled before God. That’s my sanctuary.
