Wow...

All I can muster to say is wow! What a day yesterday was. First, I want to thank Jesus for all the amazing opportunities I have had in my life. Sam and Katie Kinch were instrumental in me being able to compete and finish my first marathon. Yesterday, I was like no way I will ever do another one of these. Now, seeing the Philadelphia one take off this morning, I am not so sure. You never know what is in store. Sam, Katie, Mom, Kathy, Justin, and Brandon were soooooo encouraging. Thank you for acting like "idiots", as Kathy put it. Another thank you is to God for bringing all the right people into my life. You never know how much we need each othjer until you are down and can't get up for yourself. My training partner, Stan Gibson.... I guess I am the "NUT" now.... ha ha. Thank you for all the great runs over that last couple months. Especially the one we didn't get home until 2am... I guess that was the certification of being a nuts. Seriously, I praise God for you and the spirit of prayer that has been such a part of our times. May we model the prayer movement for others.

Jesus, thank you for my family. Brandon and Justin - You will never know how much you meant to me along side of the road cheering me on. It kept me going...





Will be back with Pics of the 26.2 miles and much, much more to share... Times it took was 5:24:25

You can see the results... They are exciting!!!!

2 More Days - Rehoboth Beach Marathon

WHAT!!!


Ha ha!

Well, Saturday's the day. The day that is going to be the toughest day but best day with the King.

Jesus, please be glorified through this.

Anxious anticipation!!!!

Philippians 4:6 (English Standard Version)
6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.


Lord of Lords, You say not to be anxious about anything. I believe this anxiety and Your ability to make me rest in You alone as my strength is going to bring You the praise You deserve. God, let the people praise You! Thank you for this opportunity. Thank You for Your love and mercy.... In Jesus' Name, the only name by which men can be saved.... Amen...

Thanks for you prayer support guys,

jonathan

Proud of My Little Sister

Last night, I was honored to go to my friends' Faith and Aaron wedding. It was the most Christ honoring wedding I have ever been to. Jesus was the center and prayfully will continue to be the marriage through... Thank you Faith for allowing Mom and I to be a part of this very special evening in your life. We love you....
