The Eye on the Prize!


I did it!  I completed my third half marathon this morning.  And I did so in just over two hours.  My dear friend Janette ran with me for 12.5 miles, and then she went on to finish the next 13.5 by herself...a feat I have yet to tackle.  Daniel, my mother, and the boys were at mile nine to cheer me on, and they were there at the finish line to see me come in.  The Mosers were also there and that was REALLY special for me.  I can't take any credit for the physical stamina, but I CAN give all the glory to my savior Jesus Christ who gave me the strength and endurance to complete the race.  It is only by God's grace that I even opened my eyes this morning, and I praise Him wholeheartedly for His mercy that is new each and every day.  Thank you, Jesus!
