As a Christian, I can ask my self the same things. Did I run the race that God placed before me? Did I take the opportunity to share with those who really needed to hear His Word? Did I truly ask Christ into my heart? Have I repented of my sins? Did His love shine through my words and my actions? I hope so! I don't want to have to be wondering about all of that the week, day, or minute before I meet my Creator!! I need to know for sure that I belong to Him, that I am a child of God, and that my name is in The Book of Life. I really want to run down those streets of gold one day!!! How cool will that be??
We take time to prioritize our lives--down here we say, "Getting our ducks in a row". Are we taking that time to prioritize our spiritual lives? I surely hope and pray so.
I would so appreciate your prayers as we travel this Friday. And run on Sunday. And fly home on Monday!!! I am not shy about asking for prayer--can you tell? I will post pictures and stories next week when I return. I won't post again this week. I am really trying to get MY ducks in a row with packing!! I do not like to pack! I really dislike unpacking!! So, as I deal with some packing pet peeves tomorrow and Thursday, I will try to stop by and read some of your blogs--which so encourage me! I may not leave a comment, but I will read them!!
Just pray that I remembered everything that I needed today at Wal-Mart....'cause I really don't want to have to go back there this week!! Thanks again for your prayers and love!!
Many Blessings,

I pray that God will give you traeling mercy and good heath in Jesus' name! This is my first time here. I actually stumbled across your blog. We already have 2 things in comming: Our love for Christ and running. Well, I'm not running marathons and races yet but I hope to be some day real soon. God bless you, sister and thank you for reminding us to stay in shape both physically and spiritually.
Blessings!

Love ya,

Susan you are such a fun, loving and beautiful person. You have trained now run and enjoy!!! You are such an encourager to me...thank you!
Dear Heavenly Father, be with Susan as she prepares, watch over her and her family, travel with her, oh and Father run with her and love all over her!...Thank you Jesus-Amen
Run for the Lord as I know you will. I'm fascinated with the concept of running...having to prepare by lessening the runs before a marathon.
Have a wonderful time.
Love ya,
Paula
Run, Forrest run!
I'm rooting for you and only wish I could stand on the sidelines sreaming and throwing you cups of gatorade!
Praying for every single bit of the trip to be all you hope it will be for you and your friend.
Love, Lee
Wow I'm so impressed with your running! You go girl! Praying for safety and complete provision. Love ya!

Susan,
You go girl! I am praying for you. You've trained hard...have an awesome time.
Love ya'

Walmart - LOL! Praying you don't have to run up and down the aisles of Walmart.
Have such a wonderful time and celebration with your friend. Tell her 50 is the new 30. That's what I hear anyway.
"itty bitty distances in preparation for the big race..."
I like that. It's manageable; much like my life with Christ. A work in progress.
And yes, I did get the run in I mentioned. Feel so much better!

May God keep your packing frustration to a minimum and your travel safe and easy.
May you encounter Him in unexpected ways but that these encounters will encourage you and point you to how much He loves and cares for you. May you race with all your heart as if you are racing for His pleasure which I have no doubt you will be!
May you return victorious and closer to The ONE WHO LOVES YOU MOST!
Can't wait to hear about it!
I'll be praying!
Pamela
Praying for you and all of your ducks! :)
Have fun, sweet friend!
Susan....will be praying for sure! From Friday through Monday. Can't wait to hear about it and see pix!
Happy 50th to your friend! Have a great weekend. Enjoy each other...and run that race!
I am so in awe of all of you.
I had planned to be physically healthy enough to run a race on my 50th last month, but it didn't happen, so I'm still working toward it.
I will be praying and believing for strength and endurance for you.
Bless you, Cindy
I'm prayer friend.
I can hardly wait to hear about your adventure!!
Blessings.
OOOOHHH running in one of my fave cities. I pray it go well for you. Will return next week to view the pics.
I think its just amazing that God can use you in so many ways, but you know, its like He says, you dont have to worry if you did the right things or what He wanted. You were there, and you did what you did because that was His plan. :)
How was your trip?
