For the past several months, you ROCC RFG'ers have been on my mind non-stop. Your desire to pursue personal growth, and your commitment to endure, is a tremendous inspiration to me personally. As evidenced through last night's sharing, the intersection of our journeys has not been without purpose. We each brought our own "needs" into this study. For some there was the need for physical fitness. For others the need for spiritual renewal. Still others the need for engagement, or discipline, or emotional repair, or enrichment or achievement. Whatever your reason for joining in back on February 13th, I am prayerful that at least a portion of that need has been met.
Now, to race day. As you prepare for this run, I want you to remember that you are totally prepared and ready. Your hay is in the barn. You have counted the cost. You have chased down the Cushite. You have trusted the plan. Come Saturday it will be 'go time.'
We will all meet at 7:45 near the finish line area for prayer and a group photo. Then you will make your way to the start. Nice and relaxed, you will run YOUR race. A few minutes later you WILL complete this challenge. You will smile, laugh or cry, and you will say to yourself ..... "Self, I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith!" And obviously, I will say to myself ..... "OK David, let's find those donuts."
