What happens when faith meets fitness? 90 hours of prayer thats what!!! Oh ye of little faith. I was so concerned about not hitting my 100 hour pledge goal and I am 10 hours away. I have some prayer warriors up in HERE!!! woot woot!
A friend asked me the other day why I was doing the pledge prayer thing or what prompted my heart. It was simple.... Jesus. I sit here behind the computer day in and day out and read the numerous request for prayer. Prayer for those that are going through horrific battles of cancer. They are children of friends, friends of friends, family to me, family to friends etc. They dont know each other but there hope is the same... A cure!
My hope is the same, my hope that one day EVERYONE I am running for can one day proclaim that they are in remission. I dont have much to offer only a desire to run and the willingness to use my legs as the Lords tool. I have to be honest, I wasnt sure what to expect or what the response was going to be, but I really wasnt concerned.
Because I am doing what God has called me to do. He knows my heart and He hears each and every prayer. He is the God that helps my tired legs run those extra miles and the same God that lifts the head of those suffering. I dont understand why a three year old little boy would have cancer, or a vibrant teen would be battling for her life. To me it doesnt make sense and I cannot comprehend it. But I do understand the God that I serve! I know that His ways and thought our not ours and one day we will see that our pain had a purpose.
If you are reading this and have already pledge I thank you from the intermost part of my heart. I really do appreciate the time you are taking to pray. If you havent pledged yet, and are reading this will you consider? Prayer is free and the best gift that you can give to someone. And if you dont want to do it publicly that is ok to, as long as you are praying. God knows!!!
And if you are not sure who I am running for please see my prior post! I have to tell you that I had the best run on monday morning, although it was hot, as I ran praying and thinking of my new purpose it was like I had new legs!
Love you and keep praying I know a miracle is waiting!
