courage

I don't have much of it. or maybe its boldness.
As i start this post im stopping, i really dont know what the difference is between these two words. it seems we use them interchangebly.
Lets look these up the in the dicionary, shall we

Courage
Pronunciation: \ˈkər-ij, ˈkə-rij\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English corage, from Anglo-French curage, from quer, coer heart, from Latin cor — more at heart
Date: 14th century
: mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty

Boldness
Pronunciation: \ˈbōld\
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English beald; akin to Old High German bald bold
Date: before 12th century
: showing or requiring a fearless daring spirit

Basically, boldness is required to go into hard situations, courage is what it takes to make it through. Its almost like boldness will get you into the mess, and courage will see you through it.

I feel like im very low on both fronts, i dont have the boldness to enter into hard situations, i am getting thrown into them; and once im in the middle of them, i dont have the courage to get through them. all of this leaves me feeling like apretty big faluire.

Please be praying for me that i will have boldness as i see problems arrising and that i will have the courage to get through them in a way that shows not only my character, but also my passion for Christ.
Thanks.

Finishing

This saturday i ran my first half marathon. It was quite an experience.
I am hoping to do more in the future. Its been about a year of "training" that has finally paid of into some kind of tangible result.
After my surgery last year i started walking, then running. i started slow because i was still recovering , and the more i recovered the more my tolerance built.
13.1 miles is a lot, i walked quite a bit, and was sore beyond measure the rest of the day and the next day (after some stretching it calmed down a lot).
Really i not to bad after the run. Tonight after work im ready to head out again and run some more. Just NOT 13.1 miles. Ill stick with like 4-5.
If only i would finish more of my sewing projects. I believe i have like 3-2 of them that just need things like buttons, button holes or a hem. Ahh, well, i will finish them eventually.
and when i do, ill try and post pictures.
