more than an "also ran"

Well, it's a new year and I'm determined to follow a renewed motivation to post more consistently.
So, I was reading in 1 Corinthians the other day. Chapter 9, verse 24 to be exact. Here's what Paul says: "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize!"
The directive is pretty clear but am I taking it seriously? Am I running to get the prize? Am I driven by His glory to keep pressing on at a hard pace? Am I hearing His voice - His calling - His passion for my life - and running hard after it? Or am I far too content with status quo and simply running to stay with the pack?

I need to GET QUIET... LISTEN... HEAR and RUN!!!
