I had no idea you'd felt this too. You're right. The answer is STAY THE COURSE. Thank you, my sweet friend. You can’t imagine how much your comment means to me, Vonda.

At least once or twice a year I have a talk with myself, asking if it's really worth it. And so far, I've always gotten the same answer: Stay the course. Every once in a while I'll kick into high gear, too. That's usually when God gives me something new and exciting to add to the mix. :-) I can’t tell you how many times I’ve considered quitting.

Oh, wow, wow, wow. No, I'm not quitting, just wanted to be honest and write about the feeling. Hoped it might encourage my friends to "keep running the race"--if it's something they're called to do. Wo-heeeeee, hallelujah! You were set free from the desire to smoke!!!!!! Free indeed!! I can just see your vision. Sounds like EXACTLY how I felt watching the race. Such a moment with Him. Thank you for taking time to read and write to me. I know others will love reading your precious comment. xoxo xoxo JULIE, your response gave me those holy goosebumps again!!! Oh, wow, wow, wow.

I love the way you said it. "All. the. time!" Love your honesty, too. I didn't realize you had one going to college. I asked them if the race benefited a certain cause. They didn't think so. Maybe so?? I'm not sure. Thanks for reading and for the thumbs up. Running, side by side, with you. :-) Whew, good to hear, Melody.

They completed the 5K, they finished the run, they earned the medal. But even more so, I bet they'd say it wasn't the medal they wanted, it was the sense of personal accomplishment, the pursuit of their dream, their desire to attain this height. I love where God whispered, "pay attention," to you, Julie. It's in the home stretch, when we are most certain to be very tired, that we fire the afterburners and burst forth. So great that you shared this. Thank you! Wow…fabulous pictures of an adorable three-some. And they all did it. They completed the 5K, they finished the run, they earned the medal.
