The Time is Now!

Well, the time has finally come!!! Race day is tomorrow!! I can not believe time has gone by this fast. I have been training steadily and feel comfort in knowing that God is with me every step of the way and helping me in this new journey. I will bike 13 miles in Beauty and the Beast tomorrow starting at 9am. This has been a physical and emotional challenge for me personally. I have pushed myself farther and harder in more ways then I had imagined. I feel this is just the beginning.

I am nervous, scared and excited all at the same time. I hope I have prepared enough yet, still wonder what the race holds for me tomorrow. Life seems to be the same way. We have days where we are strong and confident then others where we have doubts and insecurities about our abilities. We don't know what the future holds but all we can do is prepare and lay our future in God's hands. When I started my fight against cancer my first words were " This is a test, I will pass. I will run my race, and win." That phrase holds true to so many areas of my life. I have passed the test of cancer, I have won that race. This life has so many tests, bumps and curves in the road. If we give up at the first curve that is thrown at us how will we ever reach the wonders and beauty of what lies around that bend? I am not saying it is easy, or it won't be hard, but it is life. We are here for the long haul. Persevering through those trying races and coming out being stronger and more confident will reap rewards. I have had many races in my life, each one, weather it's physically, mentally, or spiritually, I have persevered. Some have taken me longer then others, and some were a piece of cake. I will add this race to my collection. Whatever  this life brings I feel I am ready and willing to take it on! In every situation ask yourself, "This is a test, I will pass. I prepared and have God on my side.I will run this race and win!"

I will keep every one posted with pictures and the outcome of tomorrows big race! Thanks for letting me share my life in the new journey I am taking.
