Mission 1 Accomplished

My first 5k was on Saturday October 9, 2010. I was very reluctant to post this picture with my time because I started comparing my time with other people's and lost sight of the accomplishment of even starting and finishing the race.

As I posted it to my facebook page I thought about all the people who would say you could have done it faster than that and every negative thought popped in my head, but I posted it anyway because I think about all the people who didn't do it at all. AT LEAST I TRIED. This 5k is a mini goal.

When I was 27 years old(I'm 37 now), my orthopedic doctor said "what is going on in your body, you have 78 yr old knees and you shouldn't be walking" I said "It's the grace of God" at that time I had already had knee surgery on both knees and was getting ready to have another one on my left knee. I was unable to walk without assistance. I had a walker and crutches and a cane. You never know how much you want to do something when you can't. I was determined to fight to walk again. Even today I still have knee problems. My Dr. said I need total knee replacement on both my knees(that was 10 yrs ago) he said I need to get real skinny skinny and come back and see him. As you can see, I'm not real skinny skinny and struggling everyday to get to a healthy weight so I can get all the pressure off my knees and not have so much pain.

With my life in God's hands, I'm choosing to believe the bible and it says I am healed and I'm doing the impossible (shall I say what people think are impossible) BUT WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. I just want my life to be a living epistle read by men, so when I put my business out there just know I struggle with it but I know if my life can help someone realize they can do anything they put their mind too I'm willing for my life to be a living sacrifice. It's the least I can do because God has done so much for me. I pray as you read this blog you would know God has great things for you and if you just trust him with everything HE will not fail you.

Be blessed and come join me in my next 5k I promise it will be faster!!!!! :-)
