I have had an unusual week. I need to tell you about what is going on in my life besides running. I am involved in a Christian Retreat organization called Cursillo. It is a 4 day spiritual retreat held several times a year. My husband and I are on the board for this. A year or so ago we had someone that went to one of the weekends that was from Kenya. He is here going to Wesley Biblical Seminary. After he attended the Cursillo weekend he wanted to take the idea back to Kenya. Well God is so faithful and in the business of miracles. The past weekend there was a Cursillo weekend and the organization had provided for 6 Kenyans to come over here to attend so that they can help in taking this back to Kenya. I have been with them off and on for several days now and they are amazing. We had a meeting today to discuss us going to Kenya to start a Cursillo there. I was such an amazing time today to here the Kenyans speak of how God has orchastrated this whole event of circumstances. A team of us will be going to Kenya in late December/early January to begin the Cursillo experience there. It is just amazing how powerful God is and how such blessings we have are now going to be shared across the world. Sorry for this being such a long blog... but this is very important to me. If anyone is interested in Cursillo please ask me about it. I have actually thought about a lot of you that would love to attend this kind of weekend retreat. You know the only way some of us are going to make is 26.2 in Chicago is with the hands of God helping us along the way.
My running has been ok this week. I went to give blood on Monday and found out my iron is extremely low... that may explain why I am not progressing like I would like.
So on Tuesday I took a multi vitamin....just before taking some of the Kenyans to eat. I had taken it on an empty stomach and by the time I got to the place to eat.... I had to exit to the restroom quickly because the vitamin did NOT want to stay down on an empty stomach. After that I was fine. Oh well... lessons learned every day.... get your iron and don't take a vitamin on an empty stomach.
See you all on Saturday..
God Bless

Ann,
This is wonderful! God put all of this in your hands for a reason. He is using you in a wonderful way. I have heard great things about Cursillo.
Keep us informed. A weekend spiritual retreat sounds great!

Sounds like God is doing great things in your life...Is Cursillo something like the amaeus(sp?) walk?
That sounds great! I have seen signs around Camp Wesley in Gallman about Cursillos being held there. Don't know much about them though, I've been thinking about signing up for a weekend spiritual retreat for some time now.
Ann, I have heard about Cursillo and have been wanting to do this...Wayne and I would like to sign up...please let me know the schedule and where I can get the application.
How exciting for you to be a part of something as special as mission work in another country!!!
