This Sunday I will be running my second marathon. It is the big D marathon in Dallas, TX and my dad will be running it with me. A marathon is 26.2 miles. It is long and hard and requires a lot of training. For my first marathon, I was able to train really hard, this marthon.....not so much. Busyness caught up with me this semester and I didn't have all the time it takes to train for this marathon. So, I need your prayers please! Prayers that the Holy Spirit fill me and give me the strength to cross the finish line, prayers that I run the race with a happy heart, and prayers that I be a light for God. I do not want this race to be about what I can do or my capablities, but I want God to be glorified and people see that I can only do such feats by the Grace of God and the strength and power that He gives me. I will run the race set before me, keeping my eyes on Jesus.
"I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." Phil. 4:13
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closelu, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:1,2
