Hey everyone, this is a blog that was written by my teammate Liz. I love it and I need you guys to read it. I mean really read it.
Hey y'all!!!
So, most of you may know this already, but some probably don't! We have a support deadline coming up on JANUARY 4th! Crazy! I have reached my deadline thanks to all of your wonderful and greatly appreciated support!!!
However!!! My sisters in Christ, Courtney Burks & Nikki S., have not yet reached their deadline! Selfish as this is, I cannot let them leave me! If they do not reach their deadline of $10,500, they will be forced to leave the race early! I cannot sit idly by and let this happen!
I'm sure all of you are feeling the after effects of Christmas… whether thats in your wallet, or in my usual case, around the waist! haha kidding!… But seriously… this is the time of year when I always decide I am turning my life around! This is gonna be the year that I will accomplish the goals I set, and make that difference I have been meaning to make. Just haven't had time to get around to it!
Sound Familiar?
I frequently stay on track for about 3 weeks before I derail HARD! However, this year I am realizing what is truly important in life. It's not about the 5 extra pounds around my waist. It's not about working so hard I get that promotion. It's not about making the team. (All great goals however!)
It's about developing a stronger relationship with your Heavenly Father.

Yeah, I know… slapped me in the face as well
So, how can you make a difference this New Year, while developing a stronger relationship with God, AND fighting the crowd at the gym Monday morning?
Easy now, I am not asking you to jump up and add another extracurricular activity to your already hectic schedule. Actually, complete opposite! The best thing you can do, is set aside 10 minutes a day for your Daddy! He will just love it, I promise!
And if you are sitting there like Liz…. I can and want to do more than that!
Give me the Challenge already!
OK OK, Calm Down….. Reeady????
K GO!
In honor of the New Year 2012
I CHALLENGE ANYONE WILLING AND ABLE TO DONATE $12 TO
courtneyburks.theworldrace.org
&
nikkisienkiewicz.theworldrace.org
This is a very simple and easy way to help bring the Kingdom of God to earth….
Whoa… talk about making a difference!
Oofta!
Thank you all again for all the prayer and support you have given me throughout this whole process! I appreciate everything so much! There are not words for the wonders I am experiencing here, or for how much God is growing me. Courtney and Nikki are vital to our squad. They both bring so much light and love to the world. They are exactly where God wants them to be, doing exactly what He has asked them to do. I have no doubt that He will come through like He always does and provide them with the money needed to continue on His path.
I pray that if you feel moved to support these two lovely women, that you follow your heart! Whether that is simply to follow their blogs and pray for them, or to accept this challenge and donate $12 dollars to their cause!
I love you all, God Bless!
Miss you with all my heart!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
May all your resolutions come true! I pray for strength, resiliance, & patience for the lady that takes your machine at the gym ;)!!
