It was race day today!!!
What a gift to tiptoe out of our room early this morning to get ready and find this note waiting for us from Anna...
RUN FOR CAZ!!!
Our Bellingham Half Marathon crew
As I was running and praying for you this morning during the race, Cazden,
this phrase above kept going through my head. Running the mile you're in is great race advice- but it also applies to life. It helped me to think about the years ahead of you and I asked God to show up at each mile and to give you the presence of mind to not get too far ahead of yourself that you lose steam and perspective for the mile you are in.
The other thing that kept going through my head was this piece of insight.
Bach wrote J.J. Jesu Juva which means "Jesus, help" at the beginning of all of his compositions,
and at the end of them all, he wrote "S.D.G." (Soi Deo Gloria) which means "To God alone be the glory." This reminded me to simply pray for help in the run and for this little race to bring God glory.... May this be so in your life too, Caz.... that these would be your bookends and that you could ask for help each step and give God the glory when you finish each chapter.

YAY! 1st in my age division!
powered and inspired by CAZDEN!!!
