This something I wrote after Rylan's race, back in August..
I've been thinking a lot about Rylan's race and how in many ways it is similar to the life of a Christian...
Rylan was the youngest racer at his ACCRF Mile Fun Run on Saturday. He took off running with great excitement! He was the last person to cross the finish line, but he never gave up! He even fell and scraped up his leg and the police cars behind him kept offering him a ride. Yet he still kept running! As he ran up the street and across the finish line, the crowd went CRAZY cheering for him!

In many ways, I imagine this is how it is in our lives as Christians. Sometimes we are just so full of excitement for Christ that we cannot contain our enthusiasm. Other times we fall, it hurts and we slow down. Then, there are the times when Satan is right behind us going "Hey! Let ME help you! Won't that be so much easier? You don't really want to go another step, do you?" But, there will come the day when we cross that finish line in Heaven and all our friends and family will be there cheering! And it will all be worth it!
