| Dear Run For God group, Thanks to my Run for God group for all the encouragement and such a great night! I can remember after that first run of 90 seconds, all I could think about was how I was crazy for trying this and that I would never be able finish. It was so great to be with everyone tonight and our spirit of unity, love and a cause of Christ. Those that couldn't make it, we missed you terribly and you were there in spirit and our hearts! I am so thankful for this group and love you all. What a privilege I feel to be a part of such a great group. I am still amazed every day at what God teaches me through training, and today racing and crossing that finish line. But more than running, which I love, I'm so thankful and astonished each day for what God has taught me through this about the eternal race with Him! As we approached those hills tonight I just envisioned a battle in my life with God beside me helping me conquer that hill in my life just like that hill in front of me and I just kept saying, "just one foot in front of other, one step at a time, God help me." and I felt his love and power all through me. What a wonderful experience this has been. I'm just learning more and more each day. Love to you all!!! Melody |

Just wanted to say thank you to everybody. Thanks for all the encouragement from everyone I really can't believe that I made it. I remember the 90 seconds at a time and I thought I'm never going to make it, but thanks to many of you telling me yes you can, I did. I just want to praise God for giving me the ability to do it. Great job everybody! |

This class has inspired me not only to run, but how I need to be encouraging others in the ministry. |

Smokes! I just registered for my first 1/2 Marathon. I don't know if I can make it, but I'm sure going to give it my all. Thanks Run for God family for helping me even begin to think this dream could ever be a reality. Please pray for me as I train. To God be the glory. Run for God! |

So refreshing to witness the powerful moving of God in these days through this wonderful ministry... Praise the Lord... I'm truly savoring what He continues to do day by day in this anointed outreach... So rare... |

Just paid my registration fee for the Chickamauga Battlefield Half Marathon! Don't know if I can run the whole race, but with GOD I will finish it! |

Great run tonight. It is amazing how great God is. Just think in January it was all we could do to run 90 seconds and now look, we finished our first (of many) race tonight. I am so thankful for this class and what it has meant to me and my family. I just want everyone to know, how much I appreciate them and love them. Couldn’t help but tear up as everyone was crossing the finish line. |
|
My motto is Slow and Steady Finishes the Race! I cried when I finished the race. I prayed and prayed as I was finishing the last bit. It was so hard, but look at all of us Run For God friends!!! |

SO VERY PROUD OF YOU ALL AND EXCITED ABOUT WHAT GOD IS DOING... PRAISE HIM!!! III John 2 |

What a great night of running! I went to Edwards Park totally stressed and on the verge of tears and I ran my demons hard and left them heaving by the roadside. Now I am ready to complete the day God has made for me. RUN FOR GOD!!! |

Ran tonight at Edwards (so great to see Jeff there. Felt safer with my Run For God family there and by the way...I ate his dust!)..but every time I got to the sprint part, it was uphill, into the wind. It was SO hard, my hat flew off, I had to run backwards to get it, I didn't think I could do it and then when I got to the second sprint I was at the same hill, same wind, but it was even harder. As I struggled I thought about our walk with Christ and how this so much emulated those difficult times. I’m amazed every run at what God teaches me through these runs. Yes it was super hard, my hat flew off, yes I hurt all over, yes I was going at a snail’s pace, yes I wanted to quit, but with God’s help I made it. Thank you God for this great lesson about my walk with you in the “Run for God”. |
