Last Friday, we watched Spirit of the Marathon, which is a documentary that followed runners preparing for the Chicago marathon. I think Peggy and Cindy found comfort in knowing that they're not alone in our struggles, doubts and feelings. Several people interviewed remarked that the marathon is the ultimate test of the human will and and of our bodies. Whether you're a record holder or a novice, there comes a point when you hit wall and at which you must push through.
Yesterday, Cindy and Peggy ran 20 miles. Each had a number of reasons why they shouldn't have run or shouldn't have finished. They pushed through and they did finish. It certainly wasn't easy. It wasn't by sheer will, rather it is by faith. By faith they responded to a need; and by faith, they have been equipped.
Please continue to pray for these two awesome ladies as the marathon nears (2.5 weeks!).
