just keep running...

i did it. 5 miles. 1 hour. 6 minutes. 15 seconds. it rained on me part-way through, so when i finished the 5 and started walking home, i got REALLY cold. but i didn't die. i wanted to quit. more than once. and i realized at one point that i will not be one of those people that loves running. i really am just doing this for a little girl. one whose face and name are not yet known to me, but she's in my heart. so for her...for the rogers whom i love dearly...i'll keep running...and i'll never stop being thankful that i am not running alone. HE is with me every step. HIS love is what compels me forward. most definitely.

we saw you when you were just leaving to begin your run! we prayed, and i was dying to find out how it went, 'cause it was one of those times when the prayer came out was FEISTY and somewhat unexpected...so happy for your victory today!
