#mywhy #runforgod #halfmarathon by: Julie Wicker
I recently shared my running journey with you all back in June. A quick recap, I started running in January through the Run for God bible study & 5k program. Once I reached my 5k goal in April, I kept pushing myself week after week to run farther. I had always planned on running the 5k in Georgetown’s Bridge to Bridge Run on 11/2/19. Over the summer I decided to challenge myself to sign up for the 12k. I kept pushing harder each week. When summer was over and I had surpassed a 12K, I was contemplating signing up for the half marathon.

#hopeisnotlost by: Julie Wicker
My Dad’s most recent procedure was successful. I was overwhelmed with Joy when I got the news from mom that the procedure had worked. It was not long when that joy was crushed. The next message I get from mom was that they could not wake Dad, his oxygen was low, and they would have to put him in ICU on a ventilator. As I struggled through packing and picking up kids and getting on the road to start traveling to Mom and Dad, I felt like all hope was lost. As the evening went on, we received better news. Dad was awake and breathing better. By 10:00pm he was breathing on his own and I was having a phone conversation with my Dad. I was overwhelmed with Joy again.

#Refuge by: Julie Wicker
God has predestined each of us for a purpose. When we are in the will of God, we can take Refuge and find shelter in God’s favor. A story that God has used to wink at me several times during my Dad’s cancer journey is the story of David and Goliath. I believe there is a David in all of us. I also believe we all have Goliaths in our lives. Our Goliath’s may be different depending on the seasons of our lives. Basically, we all have giants to slay. For some of us it’s a daily battle.

#plan by: Julie Wicker
One of my favorite quotes is by Benjamin Franklin; “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail”. Just think if with everything you planned, you were intentional and prepped for. A few examples, if I am dieting, I am much more successful when I plan out my meals. If I am taking a test for school, I am much more successful If I study & prepare. In proverbs 15:22; “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed”.

The devil would love for us to fail, but God wants us to live an abundant life. We can be confident in this; John 10:10 AMP; “The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I come that they may have and enjoy life and have it in abundance”.
