Walking

It is time again … my third trip to walk in a 3-Day (www.the3day.org) event for Breast Cancer Research, my second time to walk in San Diego!  I’m excited for the trip. 
Every year we participate in this walk I have so many thoughts as the days near to leave on our journey …

• I am thankful for my health and that I am able to walk 60 miles in honor and memory of those who can’t
• I am reminded of my friends, family of friends, and friends who have been impacted in their circles by Breast Cancer
• I am grateful for those who so generously contribute to make this journey possible.  I represent you every step of the way. 
• I am hopeful that one day Breast Cancer won’t be a concern among women, that my nieces and daughters of my friends might not face this disease
• I am prayerful for safety throughout the trip – flights, on the walk, in camp and against any injury
• I am encouraged by a SURVIVOR on our team, and looking forward to getting to know her better and the work she is doing through Komen
• I am proud to be a part of an event that is making a difference in the lives of women across our country

A walk for me always is representative of everyday life.  You have to get up, get into your gear – whatever that looks like for you, and hit the pavement to accomplish your task one foot in front of the other.  For these 3 days, my task is to walk 60 miles, camp out at night, and make a difference in a cause.  When I get home, my task returns to normal, however the mission remains the same.  To walk everyday in faith, in thankfulness, and in obedience to what I have been called. 

Step by step,
