"He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it." Phillipians 1:6 This was a verse I wrote down last night, and was highlighted in Brad's status. Its been on my heart all day today. I can remember singing this song in church growing up. Its an encouraging validation that he will carry his work to completion. He is working on our behalf to complete what He has started. It began as a downer sort of day. Cloudy, grey skies. Around noon, was informed that several of my friends from Dallas were laid off from my employer. But talking to a fellow co-worker, who is another believer, really encouraged me to know God is working for our good. Romans 8:28 speaks of "all things working together for good." I pray that doors of opportunity are opened for my friends through these tough times, and that they would feel the comfort and guidance of the Spirit. God can do "immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine, according to the power that is at work within us." That is why I have decided that I am not going to worry with what happens in my life. He who has promised is faithful.
I ended the evening eating dinner with Jay and Chet at Genghis Grill. It was a great conversation, great meal, and really enjoy the time spent in Christian fellowship with these guys. I ran 4 miles after that to continue to train....yesterday I ran the Turkey Mountain road and it was STEEP. I am sore over most of the lower half of my body, but hopefully that means an easier time in the race. Make it a great night!

I'll pray for your friends. That's rough =-(
Pray for us! Brett goes back to work tomorrow (today is his last day of vacation). He is nervous that he will walk into bad news... but God is already working on him... I know we are in his hands.
Awesome verses, and it's so great that you're putting your trust in God rather than worrying.
And wow, I can't imagine running Turkey Mountain... yikes!
