Racing for the Cure.....A Life Changed

This weekend, as I mentioned in my last post, was Race for the Cure here in NWA. I was able to complete my first 5k and for a great cause!! It was a little tiring at times but I finished :) There were tons of people there who were racing. Some were survivors, some where racing in honor of survivors, and others were racing in memory of a loved one. I have to say that I have a pretty amazing work family that woke up early Saturday to race or supported us if they couldn't be there! It was a great experience for sure.

And now for one very neat God story. I was on the way to the race and I stopped by a restaurant to grab some bagels for me and a friend. I was already in my race gear and had my "Rockn' for Roxanne" shirt on. While I pulled up to pay, the employee working the Drive Thru asked me what my shirt was all about. I shared with him a little bit of Roxanne's story. He told me that is just so sad. I told him that yes it was sad but that she was in heaven. I told him that she had a peace and that I have peace and comfort because I will see her again. I said God chose to take her to heaven and heal her and I was grateful she was no longer in pain. And then he said I want what you and Roxanne have...How do you get to heaven?.....yes really....that totally happened. I was so excited and I said well let me tell you. I then proceeded to share the gospel with him. And in a wonderful God moment I prayed with him to receive Jesus as his Lord and Saviour... in the drive through. WOW isn't God AMAZING!!

So, through the grace of God and Roxanne's story a life has been changed forever. Praise the Lord!
