I am so familiar with how it isn’t always about getting there the fastest but about bringing joy to those along the way. Having walked in a couple of breast cancer 3 day walks I have noticed that there are those who just want to get the daily mileage done as quickly as possible and those of us, who even though we take a lot longer, really enjoy waving at people,talking to the other walkers to find out why the cause is important to them and enjoying the blessing of our amazing environment here in Seattle.
I have come to realize that my life is like that too. God wants us to enjoy every minute and make the most out of our days,not just get there( jobs,the highway,money in our accounts,etc). I am so proud of you all for doing that run. It was cold that day. Your boys are very blessed to have parents like you and Suzy.

As I read this, I couldn’t help but see it as a picture that parallels your own relationship with God, as your Heavenly Father. He takes great joy in you, simply because you’re His son. You stumble, you get back up, you keep going, you press on toward the finish line and you bring Him great joy – just because you’re you. I’d encourage you to re-read this post with that in mind. He ENJOYS you, Matt. Let this revelation sink into your heart and I think you’ll find new strength and encouragment to press forward. Blessings!

I have been lucky enough to be there and watch you and Suzie in your journeys. I was so excited to see you engaged and married and then mother and father. It is so nice to see that you are enjoying this part of your life and learning from it too. We can all learn a thing or two from our children, regardless of their age. I’m proud of Rex for completing the race on his own. What a proud dad you must be! Congratulations on raising a smart boy!
