Chicago Marathon, here I come!

So, this time Sunday, I will have run the Chicago Marathon!

I ask for your continued prayers. Aaron was diagnosed with strep last week and is now on an antibiotic. My concern is that it was 12 days before the race and strep has an incubation of 10 – 14 days; I ask you to pray specifically that I won’t come down with it. I’m choosing to believe it will not be a factor.

I’ve reached the first goal of $500 for World Vision. I had hoped to reach $1310, but I think whatever is given will be absolutely perfect. If you wanted to support me in this endeavor, it’s not too late. I’ve included the address and websites below.

The hotel is booked and the driving plans are made. I’ve done my best to prepare. I’ve trained to the best of my ability. I’ve drank so much water I think I just might float away. I think, physically, I’m ready. In my head, I can say that easily, but then my heart begins to pound just a little faster. I’m so very excited, but terrified at the same time.

I’m praying in the midst of all the nervousness and excitement I remember that it is only through Christ I could have made it this far. When I cross that finish line and do my victory dance (in whatever pitiful form it may be at the time  ) I pray I will remember that it’s not really about me. My hope and prayer is that God will be glorified and His light will be clearly seen through me.

Sunday morning at 7:30am, if you remember me, please pray again.

Trying to Bring Glory to God!
