Hey there! You probably think this is going to be a post about the good news that we are saved and that Christ died for us. That is no doubt good news, but I have something different to share. It’s been about a little more than a week since I wrote my post Cryin Out, and I want to give my brothers and sisters and update on my spiritual status. First, I want to say thank you John, Thomas, and Dusty for your comments. I am honored to know spiritual giants have been lifting my name up to the Father. Thank you, and I ask that you continue to pray for me.

I am without a doubt being restored. This past week I felt the spirit move through me twice and I was instantly reminded of what I had been missing. Thank you God for the Spirit!

The numbness that I thought had moved in on my soul is packing and on its way out the door.

The sermon by Dusty Rush this past Sunday about spiritual bravery; bravery to be compassionate and carry each others burdens, not a bravery that allows us to judge others was nothing short of spectacular. Dusty moved me this past Sunday, I saw a passion in him and a love for God that touched me. I cried in church for the first time in weeks. Thank you God for speaking through Dusty. He spoke truth, and his fire for You spread like a wildfire that headed straight for my heart. Passion truly is contagious. I thank God for your sermons Dusty.

Anyway, I just wanted to say I’m not yet what I used to be but I am well on my way. I am fighting through the cramps and dehydration. It felt like my run was slowing to a casual walk, but I am picking up the pace once again. I am persevering my brothers and sisters, and I will be stronger for it. Hebrews 12 1-2: I am looking to Christ Jesus, and He is giving me the endurance to finish this race. Thanks to everyone for your prayers, and please continue to pray for me and my race.
