five weeks and counting!

We have five weeks till "Runners for Grace" will hit the pavement and walk or run in this years "Race for the cure." Now I wanted to explain the vision, because it was sometime ago and I do not want anyone think that RFG is solely for those who run.

In fact RFG is for those who don't run! Two years ago when I ran my first marathon, in honor of Gracie the Lord gave me a vision. To challenge women or men, to get off the couch and do something for their health. To take a leap of faith and train for an organized run. The "Running" part is taken from 1 Corinthians 9:24. After training for my first half, I realized how much the the physical running paralells the spiritual run that is talked about in this passage.

Training for me has been so much more of a spiritual training than anything else. Through it not only did my legs get stronger but my faith did as well. There is something about taking a long run, with you, and Jesus and some good worship music. Perhaps because this is a time of just you and your mind. There is no other person or distraction when you are in that place only runners or walkers know about. I want that for me, I want that for you! I want you to train and know what it is like to cross that finish line and know that YOU did it through faith.

And then there is the inspiration behind the team. I didn't know Gracie at all, but there is one thing that inspired me about her when I heard people talk about her, and the short meeting we had. She was full of fire and spunk, and she was a fighter of faith. That is what I desire of everyone on our team, that they would be filled with that same passion to run, not only the physical marathon but the marathon of life! The race of faith! Gracie has inspired so many people and she is the driving force behind this team.

And now the cause! It was only fitting that we would participate in a run/walk that is focused to pediatric cancer research! In Honor of Gracie, and those that are battling it is our duty to do what we can. Two years ago we were praying for five kids with this team, since then two of them have been taken home! We rejoice but we also hope that one day, we can find a way to protect our babies!
