Hope you all enjoyed your Christmas holiday! By now all the tamales should be out of the house and your probably feeling a little guilty about all the stuff you ate. I know that feeling all to well. BUT I will start on the first because we have one more celebration to get through New Years! I aint hating!
Are you thinking about your goals and what you want to do in the new year? I know I am praying on some. A friend texted me the other day and asked how I did on my laundry list from this year. I love that she called me out on it, I love the accountability. Well I will talk about them in the next few days.
Today , I want to talk about Children's Cancer and how you can help. Perhaps you don't know any children who have had cancer or have it now. So to you it may not seem like an urgency to find a cure. But this I know, at the rapid rate that this monster is growing that can change. And then at that time it could be to late.
So what can you do? You can use your legs, time and money. Once again "Runners for Grace" will be participating in next years Reaching for a Cure event. It is to raise money for pediatric cancer research. I personally saw last year, a friend and her son take part in a cool event that was paid for by this foundation. What I loved, was seeing that what we did directly impact someone we knew! I have greater expectations this year for this event.
Its my prayer that runners for grace will be participating in each event and that we would raise double of what we did last year. I know everything is possible with God. You are probably thinking of alot of excuses why you cant do this. I know, trust me, I am too. I said that I was never going to do another half marathon again, but guess what by faith that is what I am registering for.
Why? Because I don't have the cure and all I can give is me. I have health, I have heart and I have legs that work. There are families that are praying and battling everyday on behalf of their children. Gracie fought till the end. Every day that Noah ( not mine) gets up it is a blessing, because he is still fighting. His cousin Jonathan is a fighter to. Daisy Love, doctors say she needs a miracle or a divine intervention from God. And the list goes on. Can we intervene? Can we do what we are scared to do on behalf of these children?
There is no greater feeling than to finish something that goes beyond yourself. To step out in faith and out of your comfort zone to bless someone else. I have to tell you that the cool thing is that you will be blessed abundantly. So do it as one of your resolutions, your goals, whatever it takes to get you moving.
I pray that you would consider! If you would like all the information, off to the right you will find a link to the information under "2013 Runners for Grace information" in that body of text there is a link to the site. Please hold off to register till Friday, because I need to set up the team registration.
Also here is the link to the blog of last years recap..!
