Relay for Life
I did it! With God's and Paul's help, I did it. I walked in the Relay for Life for 2 hours. I worked in the concession stand. I sold baked goods at our tent. I sat with Lori and learned more about her and had a great time. Christy came. She walked in the survivor lap. I was so proud of her. I walked and remembered. It was dark the first time I walked. It was eerie as the luminaria were let and I remembered Mom and Jimmy and Christy and Ralph. And even Butterball.It was inspiring to see the people out there walking for whatever reason they had. Our team earned the Gold Award. We were the second top fundraiser, our little team of 12. And some of our team didn't collect much or didn't participate. Paul became a defacto team member just so he could walk. And he walked with me. We are both tired but I accomplished something I set out to do that I knew would be hard and that I would need God's strength for. I made it. I may hurt now, hurt bad. I did it and that is all that matters now. I did what was hard. I didn't take the easy way out and just donate. I didn't take the easy way and just come for my walking times. I came and I did what I had to do to help us be successful. It was my little miracle.
Thanks be to God, the Father for giving me the strength to do what I thought I could not do. Thank you!
