"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perserverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." Hebrews 12.1-3

in the fall, we were two miserable students sitting in anthropology class attempting to occupy the lecture time with anything but what the professor wanted to say so, we began reading a blog. it's the story of libby ryder and her battle against cancer. since september, God has used libby's story to awaken in us a realization of the story he has written for our own lives. libby has shown us what it means to set our eyes on Jesus and run, with reckless abandonment, into the arms of the Father. libby's friend angie has decided to run a half marathon in celebration of the end of libby's chemo and, lord willing, her cancer. following libby's example, we are joining in the celebration. we. are. not. runners. we are scared. we are full of doubts. but, we are inspired. the past year has been full of triumphs and tribulations for us, too. this is a physical representation of us throwing off everything that has hindered and entangled- pain, heartache, doubt, shame- and running to Jesus and basking in his grace. this run is for libby. this run if for freedom. our only hope is that He will be glorified.

"Let us hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have broken rejoice!" Psalm 51.8

obessed.

we ran 5 yesterday. it sucked. yesterday was the first day that i really wanted to quit. i wanted to cry on mile 2, maybe even 1. but we finished it. i know that there will be good and bad days, yesterday was bad. hopefully april 30th will be a good day, i have a pretty good feeling it will be.

me and julia leave on sunday with a small group of yl leaders for haiti. please pray for us this week at we spiritually prepare our hearts and minds. 

i will leave you with this video/song that i am currently obsessed with. the lyrics are my prayer.

[there's no place i'd rather be than here in your love. set a fire down in my soul, that i can't contain, that i can't control, cause i want more of you God]



thanks for reading, praying, supporting. love y'all so much
