Running with the Father

Last month, I attended a Living Proof Live conference in Jacksonville. LPL is a Friday evening/Saturday morning 3 session meeting taught by Beth Moore. There were several cool things about the weekend.

First, my mom went with me. That is always a neat experience. We have a deal. I book tickets and make arrangements and she goes with me. It is a treasured time for the girls and a special event when all the men are not around.

Second, you never know at LPL what you are going to get. Beth speaks on whatever the Lord is teaching her at that moment. For this weekend it was Phi 4:12-16. I don't think I have ever learned as much in such a short amount of time. It was both inspirational and transformational.

When she spoke of running the race, she showed a video of a young track star who tore his hamstring during the Barcelona Olympics. She showed a brief video clip. I have placed the video at the end of this blog page. Scroll down and watch and be reminded your Heavenly Father comes alongside you in all situations to help you press on to your goal. Whether you are helping your children finish a school year strong, you are facing challenges in your marriage or family relationships, or you are maybe working on your talk to preview - know God wants to stand alongside you and cheer you in good times and be there to lean on during your challenges.

I want to thank everyone in the Emmaus Community who has been praying for me the past two days. Yesterday, I tore part of my calf muscle walking upstairs at school (it takes special talent to do that). Today, it is still sore but I can tell it is quickly and miraculously healing. The prayers of this community of believers are amazing!

Let's keep each other covered in prayer and run this race our Father has given us well.
