I received the nicest email this morning from one of my teammates. What a wonderful gesture. She said she read the devotion that is emailed out each morning. The devotion has a “Faith Challenge” which today’s said to, “Identify a person in your life whose Faith in God is an example and inspiration to you. 
Let them know in person or through prayer, because living or dead, God chose them to help lead you closer to Him!”
Wow, in her email, she indicated I was one of those people for her. I was really moved.
Her email was like body armor that I suited up with for the day. Just think if everyone received such a message before they headed out the door each morning. How that alone would change our world.
I am going to make a point to begin letting other people know how they have helped me. Joanne, may have started something.
Also, I want to say that our team is such a source of inspiration. The people are the best. It will change your life forever. Thank you to Joanne for sending me her email today. I truly believe that God led us all to be on the same team. It was no accident and I am so blessed to have such great running friends that unite for such a wonderful cause…life!
