i did it --made my 50 mile challenge!

This morning, I got up early to ride my bike and put in my last 2.3 miles, and the route I have actually put in 2.4. I'm not trying to go beyond and above, so I am totally satisfied with stopping right here. However, I do think I will do this again next month, but will not procrastinate to finish.

I have also thought of a spiritual challenge of the sorts. I would like to have prayer contacts in each of the fifty states to cover my friend and her family in prayer. I think it would be so totally cool if we could have them covered by people who know and don't know them, and you know people I don't so I am so sure we could get this done within a month. By soliciting prayer from people all over the nation we will raise awareness of this particular situation, but also see the Hand of God move on behalf of this family.

I have contacts in Alaska (Genece!) and just remembered one in Hawaii (Brian!); there are several states that the Yahoo girls represent, but those in the blogosphere, please be checking in to see when I need your post. Or post here and let me know if you are in and what state you represent. It is okay if we have more than one person representing a state, as the more prayer, the better!

Before I reveal this family, I need to get the "go" from the Mami. It is an adoptive family. (Maybe we can do this each month, and highlight a different family each month??)

Please email me your feedback. Thanks and if "You're in" let me know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Signing off for a while...on the way to Louisiana; kids are packed, but I'm not!!Yai, ay, eyeya......

Wendi Congrats on the 50 mile challenge! You rock!

Ok, I am totally in for the "one in all 50 states" idea! What an awesome idea. So put me down,
Beth = Ohio! It gave me chills to think about having a request or situation that at least one person in all 50 states could be believing together about. WhooHoo!

I think the 50-state prayer thing is a great idea! Our church has a prayer calendar and for each day, we have a family to pray for. I think it's a great way for people to feel supported and encouraged!

Anyway, count me in for Utah! I'm a rarity in this state (non-LDS!).

Congrats on your 50 mile trek. Maybe next month I will join you. I joined WW with my 13 year old niece so we could tackle it together.

You can count us in for MO.
