We did it!
Come and see the goodness of the Lord! With many friends, champions, and prayer warriors, princesses, ladies in waiting, a prince charming, jesters and a queen, we crossed the finish line with a beautiful chant: long live the queen! and I definitely felt like a queen for those few moments, for this day, for this walk. For I have come to the kingdom for such a time as this… to tell God's story and live forward into all the miracles waiting to be seen. All our prayers: answered.
Start to finish: 2.99 miles under 2 hours. A snail's pace. Slow and steady: each step, power and might, each step with Jesus, each step with joy, each step with gratitude. Some steps to straighten the crown, some for h20 appreciation breaks, some to disrobe, some to be reminded of the army of angels that surround me and some to pick up feathers of orange that led the way. God sprinkles and God winks.
So how do I feel? I am on Cloud 9, exhilarated, excited, and adrenaline coursing through my veins, and never better, seriously, never better! I am overwhelmed with the outpouring of love and gratitude to my friends who walked this out with me, and those who prepared me for today, and those who paused to be a part of this joyous milestone, and reminded me of God's strength and His beauty in and through us all.
I bless you with gratitude and joy. As you gather to share in this feast of Thanksgiving, may we all be nourished by the love and warmth that surrounds us.
Love and joy, Victoria
