The slides are posted below and I would encourage anyone not present tonight to consider the passage around Philippians 4:13. In short, yes, God wants us to fully utilize our gifts and abilities, but the strength He provides is directly tied to those tasks that involve serving and honoring Him. Any, and all, that He has laid before us, He has also given us the strength to complete. Paul knew this well and it is why he wrote these words following his comments in verses 11 & 12.
Finally, from a MOTIVATIONAL standpoint, the link to tonight's "What Do You Run For?" video is inlcuded here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRzY8oFX75I This was a great addition to the topic of motivation for week #9. You will enjoy watching it and maybe even find some additional motivation for these final few training weeks.
Have a great week. See you Monday.

I am going to try and keep the message of this post in mind tomorrow during what I anticipate to be a very hard marathon. I've been able to break through tough mental moments during races by remembering to thank God for allowing me to get there in the first place.
