Romans 15:30
"I appeal to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf,"
Last year I was blessed to have so many holding both me and my family up in prayer. 2 days prior to the Marathon I had gotten deathly ill. It was random and debilitating. Andy found me lying on the hotel floor in the middle of the night. He attempted to pick my lifeless body up, only he could not get a grip on my skin due the sweat that was drenching my body. I had so many praying for me. Before my race, during my race and after my race. I begged God to hear my prayers. With only enough energy to cry out to him, I prayed.
I am amazed at the healing that took place over the next few hours.
PRAYER.
I would like to ask you to Pray for me. The Boston Marathon is MONDAY April 21st.
*I will be heading to the buses for transportation at 7-7:30a,
*Heading to starting line at 9:50am.
*Starting the Marathon at 10:25 am.
The Marathon consists of 26.2 miles.
If all goes the way I have trained I will be running sub 8:00 minute mile. My Goal finish time is 3:28. This is the first I have posted my goal.
You can use my Bib Number 15339 and TRACK me.
You can use my Bib Number 15339 and TRACK me.
I am asking if you would SIGN up to prayer of a MILE of the Marathon or if you have a dedication I will write those on my arm and Pray over them at that MILE!
I am going to GO FOR it. I am going to try and PR. If I do "YA HOO"...And if I do not I will have the satisfaction of knowing that I Gave my ALL.
I am going to RUN this Race with Perseverance. I am going to RUN with more than Legs but with all my heart and all my strength seeking God to fuel me. God Speed.
JEREMIAH 33:3 "CALL UNTO ME AND I WILL ANSWER AND SHOW YOU GREAT AND MIGHTY THINGS WHICH THOUGH KNOWEST NOT."
Sincere Gratitude,
Anita
Anita, I will pray for you for mile 15. That is when the hills start. I will pray that you run strong, your feet feel light, and that you have a wonderful experience at Boston.
ReplyDeleteKathleen, THANK YOU. I just know that God placed you in my path. You have trained like a Athlete. I just love listening to your dedication and commitment that you have put into your training. I will need prayer for those Hills! Than YOU! We should share numbers, maybe I will see you at the expo. I would like to touch base with you at the finish if possible too! I think I am going to run with my phone.
