THANKFUL

As I have read a couple of blogs today I am so very thankful that I am doing this Marathon Makover. As I said in one of my early blogs:

Hebrews 12:1-3Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

For all of us that have something that hinders us, some kind of opposition every day, whether it be a temptation not to train, an injury, other committments, heat, cold, whatever... know that if we fix our eyes on Jesus for HIS strength, we CAN DO THIS. He will be glorified when I cross the finish line in Chicago.

Isn't it great how because of MM we have so many more people praying for each other. You know there is more to this MM than our speed when we walk/wog/jog/run.... whatever it may be. We are each others' clouds of witnesses, encouraging each other. Marathon Makeover.... could it be that this group is helping us in our Marathon of Life. Giving us a makeover for something we needed and were not ever aware of.

I may be not the best at blogging or wogging, but I am so very thankful of the friendships I am in the process of making. Thanks again to Mark, Robin and Matt. You are changing lives in more ways than you know.

Blessings to all today.... send up some prayers for those in need right now.

See you all on Saturday
