Champion Cheerleader
The Xterra Games have been in town again. My position was to cheer on the runners and make sure that they took the correct path at the mid point of the run. After all they had already completed the one mile swim, an eighteen mile bike ride and a half of the 10k run and probably needed a bit of encouragement. I wouldn't have been able to do even one portion of the event with the cold water, the long distances and the steep terrain, but I could be a cheerleader for those who chose to push their bodies with torture and I could help guide them to the right route. In our Christian walk we too need encouragement. It's easy to get weary and worn out when working for the Lord. I am so glad that God has given me friends and family to be my cheerleaders. They provide positive words when needed, they pray for me, they guide me and they even scold me and let me know that I should be taking care of myself and not just taking care of others. Everyone needs a least one person...
