Running the Race

This breast-cancer marathon isn't the 26.2 miles one runs on a Saturday. It's not got a well-defined Start & Finish line & time to prepare, but it does have some things in common to an amazing feat like that.

Both kinds of marathons aren't limited to the physical, but demand mental, emotional & spiritual stamina, too. They require a huge support team & a host of crew members for preparation & safety of the runners. Marathon runners are assigned numbers, monitored closely & require knowledgeable people of their physical & mental needs during the run. Every detail is covered, even down to the shoes best suited for that particular athelete.

I know people who are not afraid of running marathons. Not intimidated by the distance. Not side-lined when the race gets hard. There are loved ones & strangers who've run the breast-cancer marathon with us & faithfully prayed for my family & me for over a year through this particular run! That's really an amazing thing to think about & that kind of commitment & love will forever be engraved on our hearts!

You are the people we call on- again. Keep praying our family through this upcoming surgery. Keep praying God protect my body from any return of cancer. Keep praying we keep focused on Jesus everyday & do not go even a moment without Him!

Thank you, dear friends! Thank you for running the race with us & believing in a strong finish! We serve a sweet & powerful Lord who supplies every single detail we need in the race. Makes running it worth every step! Makes seeing it through even that much sweeter! Makes the prize at the end priceless!

Blessings!
