RUNNING FOR ONE MORE!!! WE DID IT!

Well, we did it!!! We finished the Country Music Half Marathon! It was awesome! It had been over 5 years since I last ran this race...Wow, do times change! It was so awesome, inspiring, motivating, challenging, and FUN! We had a great group of people RUN FOR ONE MORE to benefit and raise awareness for Room For One More. Some fabulous people gave and many people raised support to run and at race time $10,000 was raised to give to families for adoption grants! We are so happy to be a part of this organization!
The weather held out just long enough for most of our group to finish the race with over 32,000 people running, it was total madness. I loved every minute of it!
If nothing else, it was a HUGE reminder that we can really do ANYTHING we commit to doing and most EVERYTHING we FEAR is simply MIND OVER MATTER and of course....GOD!
I was inspired to see so many people running that I would never imagine to be runners...People ran for so many reasons and some in memory of others. I realized once again, LIFE IS SHORT...I MUST LIVE IT BIG!
I have felt kind of stuck in a spot for a while now in life...It is a challenge to sort out how to be a good mom and still live out the other passions in my life. I am working on it, and it is a slow moving process so bare with me. That is why I have not posted for a while now....I am not sure where I am headed next. God seems to be moving my life in a different direction than I would have imagined, and I want to be faithful and at the same time I am kind of feeling a little in limbo...Guess that is where faith comes in Lord knows this is an area I could use some help with!
I think I am about ready to start posting more about the stuff in my mind, so if you are still reading my blog...stay tuned! (that means you mom and whoever else out there is reading....Cheri)ha ha
in the meantime check out some photos of the marathon and the little ladies!

HELP MAKE A DREAM COME TRUE FOR AN ADOPTIVE FAMILY!

If you are a follower of our blog, you know that our non-prof. organization-Room For One More is running for a cause...A MAJOR cause!
On April 24 a large group of us will RUN FOR ONE MORE...to raise awareness of the orphan crisis in the world and to raise funds for an adoption grant for an adoptive family. We have been blown away by all of the wonderful families we have met since creating Room For One More. So many families want to adopt, but need financial assistance. One area RFOM wants to give back-is to families in this situation. So, as we run, sponsors are being asked to donate to the cause and also we would LOVE to see people buy our t-shirts. We have lots of great options on our website at www.roomforonemorechild.org and also we have a shirt created for the race that is really awesome also.
Check it out below. You can order any of these shirts online and ALL of the proceeds of the run t-shirt will go to an adoption grant for a family in need.
There are so many ways to get involved in saving the life of a child and so little can do so much!
There is still time to register to run the half marathon with us, and if not- local Nashville peeps, we would love to see you at the finish lines! Buy a t-shirt and let's come together for this awesome cause.
I have read some amazing stories lately of the great sacrifices and stories of major faith in action with adoptive families and I am happy to stand for one of these families to give them some much needed support to bring their children home!
We will post the total raised after the race. In the meantime...get involved!!!! We need your help!

Check Out the Sweetness!

Look who is one!!!! How adorable is this pic above? Aunt Cheri out did herself again on Solie's one year pics! God is so good to give us two phenomenal, hilarious, amazing girls!!!!
I will post a better update soon! I just could not wait to get this pic on the blog!!!

Least of These Painting by Brian Keith Daniel

This was just one more amazing event that took place at Celebrate Hope Cape. This painting was later auctioned off for $8,700 and then the buyer GAVE THE PAINTING to be placed in the new orphanage being built in Swaziland. Truly a night of selflessness for little people around the world. May every child feel loved. God is so amazing and the talent these people brought to the evening was ridiculous!
