November 6, 2006 The Start

Finally...the start of my blog!

Yesterday I finished my first marathon! It was one of those events that if it weren't for my inability to walk without a limp I wouldn't believe that I had accomplished it! In actuallity though I could not have done it without amazing support from my running partners and my principle!

God also used it as a definite conviction time as my goal of running, which started out as an opportunity to establish relationships and reach out to others has shifted to being more about me and my goals. I went to church Saturday night and God ever so gently reminded me of this in an amazing praise service. It was a service were standing did not seem sufficient...instead it seemed as if we should all be bowed in adoration to an amazing God. He is so amazing and I feel as if God has blessed me so richly. This weekend I was amazed as he showed me over and over again what amazing friends I have who are willing to support me in anything...from personally woes to celebrating the finish of a marathon!

I will try to post pics from the marathon shortly.
