Happy Sunday!

I hope everyone's Sunday was a good one! Mine was; I had an awesome church service with my family and then had a good swim workout with my Dad. So at today's church service, the speaker talked about how he was called by God to go live in a hotel in Houston and help build a new church in a very rural part of the city. No matter how much he fought it, in the end, he still had to move to the Houston area. God kept speaking to him, telling him that he had to do this for him. The speaker didn't want to leave his nice house to go live in some very isolated place. He wanted to have everything he had worked so hard to gain, but he knew that God had a bigger plan for him.
So this is a lesson learned for all of us. Don't try to fight God's will because he can see the bigger picture. He knows what's right for us and he wants to try to guide us in the right direction. The only thing we have to decide is whether or not we will follow him.

So the question I want you to really think about is this:
If God asked you to move somewhere far away to do some work for NO pay, would you?

Remission Run

If you know someone who has cancer or are just a runner, you gotta be at Remission Run. Seriously not joking. It's so much fun. Lace up those running shoes and run the 5k run. Or, you know, you could always do the 1 mile family walk or if your a kid you can do the 1 mile race. Just come on out if you are someone who likes to have FUN. Go to www.remissionrun.org for more ifo on the race. REMEMBER: Cool people run! :)

Remission Run

We had a great race today for the second anual Bill Crews Remission Run. It is amazing to see all the cancer survivors crossing the finish line! Today is a day we need to celebrate with our friends and family who may be in remission. I am very happy with how the race turned out and hope to have a great race next year. Love to all friends and family and a special thanks to all of the volunteers and Remission Run commitee. Yall all did great!

New Beginnings

School is going but my half marathon traning is going slow! It takes a lot of dedication and hard work, but it's all worth it! I love running and swimming, but I also like sitting down and reading a book or writing stories, books, and blogs. I just love being creative and expressing myself. One of my inspirations is Michael Phelps. One of his quotes really inspired me. " So many people along the way, whatever it is you aspire to do, will tell you it can't be done. But all it takes is imagination. You dream. You plan. You reach. There will be obsticles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, with belief, with confidence and trust in yourself and those around you, there are no limits." Isn't that quote inspiring? I love it! I think Michael is trying to make you belive in yourself. It did that to me! Did it do it to you???

My Quote/ Advice

Never give up! It gets you nowhere! Just try and do! The outcome will be marvelous!

My Advice

Have you made your goal, or have you just thought about your dreams coming true? Dreams have to be made into goals. You can't just have a dream and expect it to come true without doing any work. You have to work hard at it! Don't be a couch potato, be a hard worker!!!

Our Given Specialties: Making and Acheiving Goals

After a person figures out their specialties, they make a goal. Goals take a long time to acheive so you need to stay patient. Goals are something like this: Do good at 5k run next fall. That goal is easy to acheive but if you want to good, you have to work hard at it. Don't let people say stuff to make you quit your goal. It will only make you regret regret quitting later. Just make your goal and acheive it. It only takes those two simple steps. My goal will take work though. Mine is to do a half marathon on January 1, 2010. To acheive that goal I'll have to train hard. It won't be easy, but it's worth it!
