Be Still And Run by Alli Anne

Your thoughts determine your heart. Your heart determines your life. Thus what you label yourself as, is who you will become.  Why is it important to be careful what you think? See the Blog Post Version Here Visit us on IG @allisbsr Reach out at allirunswithgod@gmail.com Technical difficulties, I will try to straighten this out tomorrow.

Testimonies can be one of the greatest tools to combat fear and distrust, because it reminds us of what God has done in the past. Journaling can help us see His work in our own lives and whatever we record from others’. Revelation 12:11 See the Blog Post Version Here Visit us on IG @allisbsr Reach out at allirunswithgod@gmail.com

Human Relationships can be great, but are never able to fulfill the deepest longings in our heart.  Only God can do that! Find the letter I mentioned in the podcast Here. Visit us @allisbsr on IG. Reach out at allirunswithgod@gmail.com  Happy Running!

Be Still and Run is here to encourage you to run the Christian Life you were created to live! That feeling that something's missing? It can be found in a relationship with the Creator of the world 🥰

Have you ever noticed when God created the earth how He stated that it was evening, morning and the next day? Evenings are not the end of the day. They are the transition periods between two individual days. See the Blog Post Version Here Visit us on IG @allisbsr Reach out at allirunswithgod@gmail.com

The difference between living for God rather than with Him is huge. Living for God is a servant mindset alone. Living with God is focused on a relationship. See the Blog Post Version Here Visit us on IG @allisbsr Reach out at allirunswithgod@gmail.com

There is such thing as a perfect morning routine for you in the season you are in.  See the Blog Post Version Here  Visit us on IG @allisbsr  Reach out at allirunswithgod@gmail.com

Before I go out for a run, I always have on my mind, “What should I do for a warm up today?”  It entirely depends on how my body feels as to what I may need to do.  This reminded me a lot of my devotional time for the last few years. I don’t have a set way I spend my time with God in the morning. It all depends on what I need that morning and where the Lord leads me.

You know how we use the phase, “I think I got up on the wrong side of the bed.”? This is sometimes set by what we thought about as we went to bed or could possibly be a dream you had or an attack from the enemy, but it could also just simply be that your blood sugar is low and you need to eat. Whatever the case is, you have the power through Christ to turn that around and set out on the right foot. You have the power through the Word of God to change your mood so that you can take charge of the day and set out on the right foot, or in this case, the right side of the bed!

Every time we go out for a run, we know we need to prioritize our warm up. It’s what gets our muscles ready for the work ahead so we are at a lesser risk of injury. What makes us think that running the Christian life is any different? The way you start your day carries over into the following hours, just as the way you start your run greatly determines how well your workout goes.

I used to say this all the time when I first started running.  “I don’t have time.” However I started to have a mindset shift when I visited a widow one afternoon. She had a friend over and he said something I’ll never forget. “You make time for what’s important to you.” Join me in this week’s episode to learn what God taught me to do instead of saying “I Don’t Have Time.” See the Blog Post Version Here Visit us on IG @allisbsr Reach out at allirunswithgod@gmail.com

Ya’ll, this may be one of my most favorite testimonies that God has done in my life! I received a blessing from a complete stranger and God was the only one who could have orchestrated it because it touched me in a special way!

What do you think is the biggest waste of a Christian’s time? My first thought for the 21st century was Social Media. But God opened my eyes to realize that this is actually not the case. The Biggest Waste of Time for a Christians Life is actually ... See the Blog Post Version Here Visit us on IG @allisbsr Reach out at allirunswithgod@gmail.com

God gives us many blessings and gifts as we follow Him. Much of the time, it is different between each person because none of us are created the same. But there is one resource He gives us that is in the same quantity and measure as everyone else. Time. God gave each one of us 1,440 minutes in a single day. 525, 600 minutes in a year. What are we doing with it? Join me in this week’s episode as I share how God has taught me to redeem the time starting with a simple realization.

This week I talk about one of the biggest things that a human struggles with, some stories from my personal life, and what has helped me to overcome this dangerous characteristic. I have seen some good people fall in their Christianity because of this sin. I believe that most, if not all sins, can be traced back to this issue in some way.

Tip #1: Why are you getting injured? Figure out the root issue ·There are multiple reasons you can get injured and it is entirely up to you to experiment to see what the problem is. Tip #2: Strengthen your Core, where all the injuries stem  We are only as strong as our Core. The stronger our core is, the easier and quicker it is to heal from an injury. AND to avoid injuries. Tip #3: Get Rid of your ego ·If you haven’t seen a pattern yet in this series of the Three Frustrations of a Runner and How to Deal with Them, then you need to realize it now. Pride is a common characteristic among runners and constantly causes problems. Next week I’ll be talking more about this so keep your eyes peeled. “For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.” 1 Tim 4:8 Read the Blog Post Version Here You can reach me at allirunswithgod@gmail.com Check us out on @allisbsr

Hebrews 12:1-2 is a popular passage for runners, but have your ever read verse 3? It has something huge to say for runners as well! Join me in this months motivation as I share what God has taught me about this special verse. See the Blog Post Version Here Visit us on IG @allisbsr Reach out at allirunswithgod@gmail.com

I used to stress out about having the onset of an injury because that meant less training and it threatened to pause my running. But, I also used to stress out about not having the onset of an injury, because I was wondering if I wasn’t pushing hard enough. I was so totally confused. Yet overtime God showed me that having injuries can actually be a blessing. Join me in today’s episode to hear how!

Motivation, as I’ve said before, is fleeting, just like our feelings. It comes and goes in the moment. Motivation could actually be easily classified as a feeling. It’s a good feeling that makes us want to get something done. Though there are many reasons why you may be lacking motivation, here are the top three that seem to be pretty common.  Problem #1: Your Ego - Proverbs 16:18  Problem #2: You Don’t have a Good Reason Why You Want to Run - Habakkuk 2:2  Problem #3: You Keep Getting Injured - Romans 5:3-5  I love you and pray you have a blessed week as you seek our Lord!  “Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek Him with the whole heart.”-Psalm 119:2  Podcast Notes can be found Here  Extra verses mentioned in the podcast: Proverbs 29:18, Psalm 119:165, Isaiah 58:58:13  Ladies, feel free to reach me at allirunswithgod@gmail.com Meditations for Seasons of Waiting by the Daily Grace Co.

Do you lack motivation? Do you know where motivation comes from? Do you know how to retrieve motivation? Then this months Mid-Month Motivation is for you!  The Simplicity of Christianity; Running in the Will of God is finally in the making!  Please keep this project in your prayers.  I am stoked to get that out to you! Here is the race recap I mentioned in this episode: http://bestillandrun.com/2022/10/10/mo-half-marathon-recap/ Ladies, feel free to reach out with prayer requests or if you just need someone to talk to... allirunswithgod@gmail.com

After seeing a common pattern among not just runners, but people in general, I noticed a pattern in what caused the most frustration in their life. Do you think you have them too?

My reason for running has always been the same but I never would have been able to tell you straight up what it was. Only recently, after putting a bunch of puzzle pieces together, has it dawned on me why. I believe that running is something God has ingrained in my heart as part of what He called me to do on this earth. What about you? What has God ingrained in your heart so deep you've never been able to explain it? "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.  So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me." - Hebrews 13:5-7 

Our thoughts control everything about our life. The way you are living now is because of what you've thought about in the past and also what you are thinking about now. So if you want to change your future, you must first learn to control your thoughts.  But there is a more simple approach to do this than what we've been taught and it is a lot more enjoyable.  In this episode I talk about what I've learned about our thoughts through the thistle plant and how to more effictively and easily (not quickly; nothing good is quick) remove the negative, untrue thoughts from your mind and completly transform your life, bringing joy and freedom that nothing else will.   Click here for the link to the blog post!  Scripture References Mentioned In the Podcast: · Take your thoughts captive. (2 Corinthians 10:5) · Cast all your care upon Jesus. (1 Peter 5:7) · Be careful for nothing, pray about everything. (Philippians 4:6-7) · Jesus gives us a well of living water springing up in our heart. (John 4:14) · Parable of the Soil and the Parable of the Tares. (Matthew 13) · Ask what you will. (John 15:7) · The simplicity in Christ. (2 Corinthians 11:3)  Ladies feel free to reach out to me by email at allisbsr@gmail.com if you need someone to talk to.  I'd love to chat! I love ya'll and pray you have another blessed month drawing closer to Christ, Happy Running!

Most runners at some point will run out of motivation to run. Does that sound like you recently?  Has your motivation to run gone dry?  I wanted to give you some encouragment in this area so I asked different runners what they do when they are feeling unmotivated and compiled them in this episdoe.  What I love about these is that they can also be treaked for your personal and spiritual life as well! I pray you received some encouragement from this month's episode! If you ever have any questions or suggestions, or simply just need someone to talk to, feel free to reach out.

I was shocked with the lesson God taught me, as I peeled a hard-boiled egg for lunch. Ever have something get under your skin and ruin the rest of your day? If yes, then you'll definitely want to give this episode a listen to.

There is a difference between feeling tired and fatigued. When we are exhausted and can't seem to go on, we term that fatigue, and that's what I wanted to talk with you about today. God taught me an important lesson about endurance and fatigue during training a few weeks ago and I’m excited to share it with you! Find todays shownotes HERE Want to sign up for our Weekly Emails?

Once someone accepts Christ as their Lord and Savior, there is now some more surrender that gets to be done. I will be taking about Why Surrender is so Freeing in the next episode, but if giving God access to every room in your heart is already a desire of yours, check out this months Mid-Month Motivation, on how you can finally give Him everything. John 10:10 says, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."  So what holds us back from truly surrendering everything to God?   Todays Show Notes Thank you for listening to another episode of Be Still and Run!  For more from us, visit Be Still and Run on the web or visit our social pages on IG and FB @allisbsr - links are below. https://bestillandrun.com/contact https://facebook.com/allisbsr https://instagram.com/allisbsr Want to Join the Family?

Ever felt like there has to be more to life than what your living? Episode #17: Nuggets of Wisdom with Kristin Dronchi There has to be more to life, “Is this all there really is?”You might be surprised to realize that, that breaking point, ice-cream on the floor, crying hysterically moment in your life, is what God will use the most in your testimony, because you came out victorious. In today’s episode I had the privilege of interviewing Kristin Dronchi, the host of The Abundant Christianpreneur TM Podcast. Her mission is to Restore the family unit and bring faith filled mama’s back home to raise their warriors for the Kindgom while making inome and impact doing what they love! Being that Christian career woman and 1st time mom stuck in a job that didn’t align with WHO God created her to be, Kristin knows that inner craving you have to make an impact in this world, step into who God created you to be, and be the one raising your kiddos! She wants to show other faith filled women that it is possible to bring that dream to life! We cover some amazing things, such as: 1. Why you don’t need a miracle morning routine,  2. What the difference is between your purpose on this earth and your calling, and why it's important to know each, 3. How you can decipher the difference between your voice, the enemy's, and God's,  4. How to get rid of fear,  5. And the bonus question for the Nuggets of Wisdom Episode: What is one thing you wish you would have known when you were younger? Kristen’s answer is amazing; she lets us know what the key is to living a fulfilled and happy life on this side of heaven! This is definitely an episode you don’t want to miss, as these keys were exactly what God has been doing in my own life, and the benefits are unreal! Are you operating in the calling God has for your life? You can only learn to use a tool, by asking the inventor what its intended purpose is. One of the greatest gifts God gave us on earth is to be able to go to people who have “been there, done that.” You must figure out what your God given Genius Zone is so that you can start living the dream God has placed in your heart. If you need help, Kristin is offering a free clarity call for you!  You can find all the links in today's shownotes:  https://bestillandrun.com/2022/05/27/ever-felt-like-there-has-to-be-more-to-life-than-what-your-living/ Every one has a message and your message matters. – Kristin Dronchi I love you and pray you have a blessed week, Happy Running!

A lot of times I have noticed that Christians hold God at arms length as if to say, "Look God, I got this.  I'll let you know if I need any help."  The tragedy of living this kind of life style is that we miss out the abundant life He created us to live.  We often wonder where God is when we are sad, alone, or afraid.  Jesus promised to never leave us nor forsake us, so why does He seem so far away?  In this months Mid-Month Motivation, I share with you how letting God love me and inviting Him to spend the day with me, rather than just letting Him follow me around at arms length has been a life changer.  So if you are wondering where God is these days, today's episode is for you. Jeremiah 31:3 says, "The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee."

Join me today, as I share seven recovery tips, that have dramatically changed the way I approach training, both physically and spiritually... and improved my workouts to become a better runner. Here is the link to the blog post version: https://bestillandrun.com/2022/04/18/7-tips-for-a-better-recovery/ Here are few of my favorite verses on rest: Psalm 37:7 - Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: Matthew 11:28-30 - Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Psalm 127:2 - It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. Hebrews 4:9-11 - There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. For more from Be Still and Run visit our website: BeStillandRun.com

Midweek Motivation on how to overcome irritations 😲

Do you use negativity to motivate you while your running? Or positive affirmations and a change of perspective?

After hearing so many times about "be yourself" I wondered if maybe I was not living out in my own life what I encourage others to.

Today I challenge you to end your week with Thanksgiving and see if it won't change how you feel 😉

In todays episode I share my experiment for this week and challenge you to change your perspective by being grateful.

In life we have so many voices around us that sometimes its hard to be ourselves. Today I dive into why its important to live your own life and not someone elses. I also share three steps in how you can start becoming the person God created you to be.

Are you wearing a bridle of comparison or bitterness and letting it control every decision you make? We bridle horses in order to control them. God gives Christians two choices. Either we bridle ourselves or He bridles us. Which one will you choose?

We all know what it is like to come up to a closed road sign or dead end and realize we need to turn around or go a different direction. It can be quite annoying especially if you're in a hurry. Join me in my first podcast as I share how God taught me to deal with these circumstances.
