A New Endeavor...
I have made the decision to start a new endeavor. I joined the breast cancer 3-day walk for August 7-9th in Chicago!! We will be walking 60 miles over a 3 day period... my feet are throbbing just thinking about it! Our team, PINK PEACE, consists of My mom, who is a breast cancer survivor, and my 2 sisters, Erin and Heather. We are so excited and nervous! Training starts today! I will be doing A LOT of walking on my own between now and August... mainly to ensure that I don't pass out several times during the journey!! Please pray for strength and endurance for our team!
A Little About Why I'm Walking
My mom, Cindy, was called to battle breast cancer about 7 years ago. I say "called" because of what God taught me through this experience. My mom and dad are amazing people and they love Jesus with all their hearts, and devoted their lives to pouring this into me and my brother and sisters and many others throughout their lifetimes. When my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, I was very angry with God. I thought "of all people in this world, my mom does not deserve this"! From there, God began taking me on a journey to see Him for who He really is and to see my circumstances for what they really are... channels through which God brings glory to himself! Through months of crying, praying, and seeking God's face, He brought me into such an intimate place with Him just through watching how my mom handled what she'd been given.
I never heard the woman say a negative thing about where she was. My mom only continued to say "God has a reason-- I can't wait to see what He does through this!". And what a miracle he performed through her! I'm not going to give away her testimony, because I want HER to be the one to tell you what God did through her battle with breast cancer. Stay posted on this blog to watch for a blog from my mom, telling all about her story!
"And we know that through all things God works for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purposes." -Romans 8:28
What I Need From You!
In order to participate in the 3-day walk, each walker has to raise a minimum of $2300. I,
however, have set the lofty goal of $15,000! It sounds like a lot of money to one person, but hopefully
with the help of family, friends, and fans, I can reach that goal and that money will go towards the
research needed to find a cure for this disease that I, my sisters, and our daughters are already prone to!
I want to spread the word about breast cancer and shout to the world what He has done through my
family's ordeal with this horrible disease! So, I want to get people involved. This is where YOU come in!
I need YOUR help in raising this money! My team would be so thankful for any amount you choose to give,
whether it be $1, or whatever God lays on your heart to give! If you are not in a place to give financially,
Please join with us in praying for our team and praying for us to overcome breast cancer!
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." -John 16:33
