4:45 AM, The alarm goes off and I'm up like a shot.... Got to get there! Another morning meeting at church and like a few weeks ago I decide to walk, only this time the meeting has been moved up an hour so I leave an hour earlier. By 5:05 am I'm out the door.
this is what Woodstock looks like at that time of the morning, just in case you were wondering.... Not much going on!
As I walked I checked my email.... I know I know, a bad habit.... in the early hours of the monring this quote came in from a daily quote website I have subscribed to... I found it very inspiring as I still had about 11 more Kms to go of my 13 that morning.... Perhaps it will inspire you as well to reach inside for that second wind... I know that in that second wind, that extra mile or climbing out on that limb that scares us, we find Gods strength, his spirit of empowerment and encourgmange and his blessing, to accomplish what might have seemed impossible the moment, day, month or year before. Truly that is how I see these project we will provide for....
Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out
they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed
at the energy that comes out of you.

Wow. I can't believe that you got that quote, on that particular day. What a Godsend. (I love that!)
We need to learn how to challenge ourselves and let God totally SHAPE us! Why do we always take the easy-way?! (ahhh, us fleshly humans!)
Thank you for being an example to us!
Remember during that one team meeting we had, and I said, "Wendy has upped the bar"? Well, Dave, you have REALLY upped the bar! This is a WHOLE NOTHA LEVEL... (WNL... if you're a saturday night live fan;)...
