Good luck to all of you on your events this weekend, and remember HAVE FUN!!! And don't forget to take some time along the way to see something AMAZING. It may be a cute squirrel in a tree!!!

So take of this what you like and disregard what you wish - most of you who know me, know I have a little something inside that I always have to get out - and the past weeks there has been more then the norm!!!!

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witness, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race that is marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on, Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition form sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose HEART.” -- Hebrews 12:1-3

We all have a race of life - everyday is a race!!! Each day is a race, each day we train is a race, each event we do is a race we plan, we suffer, we run into difficulty, but in the end whatever it is we do we should, we should cross our finish lines with the Glory of God. Christ lives in the heart, great prizes await those who Persevere. Those who live each moment living by faith builds strong character.

We run as a team, we encourage one another as a team, we are all on one team and when we loose sight we all loose together - We are all in the race together for the Glory of God.

Jesus is not divided by oneself. In one accord, in one heart - we run the race together each and everyday - we encourage one another, hold one another up and finish together, we run for a greater victory then Gold, silver, bronze - we run for the passion we have in our hearts. We endure in God in all we do, where we go and whatever we do & with that said we can live a more abundant life!!!!

So whatever you do run this race of life all the way to the end, let God fill you up and finish the race strong. The power is in you!! And when we think we can no longer go --- when we have to conquer our fears ---- Phil 4:13
We are simply perfect with our character of our faith. We are all children of Kings of Kings and Prince of peace.

We can take life lessons from Luke 15.

So through the plan of a goal, the hardship, discipline, the pain/agony, keep on going and don't loose what is in your heart, to reach the end - to finish every daily race with everything that is within us.

Angels will rejoice over your life, when we run the race with Him and for HIM.....

Now, with that said, smile this weekend - train, spend time with the kiddos, enjoy life and simply do YOUR BEST in all that you do, because when you do YOUR best and cross that finish line, no matter the time, no matter if you won a gold, silver or bronze - you are a true winner in the victory of your heart.........and in life!!!

Find that passion in your heart and use it for a greater glory......
