i heart friday: beyond me

This verse spoke to my heart this week.  I know I have referenced it over and over on this little blog, but my heart seems to forget so quickly...

"And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong."  ~2 Corinthians 12:9-10

I got a text coming out of work: "Have you heard TobyMac's new song, 'Beyond Me'?"

Such a beautiful reminder...

Loved this...

48.6 Miles in 4 Days, Sean Astin on the Walt Disney World Marathon 2015

"I’m 43 years old for one more month and my passion for running has morphed into a full blown obsession...I want to push my body and my mind. I want to test my spirit. I want to see what's possible. Mostly, I'm looking to go beyond the limits placed on me, mostly by custom. I’ve set many lofty goals and failed at many. Well, failed so far. I am actually not freaked out about this coming behemoth of a task. I'm totally stoked. Flex leg, deep breath in my airplane seat. It'll probably hold up. 

I’m 43 years old for one more month and my passion for running is a full blown obsession.

Walt Disney World Marathon 2015
The Dopey Challenge -- 48.6 Miles in 4 Days"

So inspiring.  To push one's body and mind.  To press the boundaries, to see what is really possible...

Mind blowing:

"The heavens declare the glory of God..." 

The earth and universe echo with the sound of His voice, the touch of His fingerprints.

//

This will probably not be the last time that you see the Pevensies on here...but this picture just absolutely gets me.  One of my favorite characters in all literature (and film, for that matter) is Peter Pevensie.

His devotion to looking after his siblings, his steadfast heart, his bravery...and as they so beautifully depicted in the film, his humility. His loyalty to Aslan and his siblings by always putting them first, but yet, we all know that he's broken, he's got a little bit of a temper, and he might not be quite as brave as he wants everyone to think.  But that's another one of the reasons that I love him.

To follow up, I did find this little gem this week as well:
