Thank You

Towards the end of Tuesday's workout, I was really struggling to complete the sideways squat walk. We had just completed walking the length of the basketball court doing this exercise. Then did a different exercise at that end of the court. Then EJ told us to do the sideways squat walk back to the other end of the court. I completed walking half of the basketball court, when my arms and legs began feeling maxed out. All the other contestants had completed walking the full court, while I still had half of the court to complete. I wanted so bad to stop the squat walk and just walk normally to the end of the court. I did not want to keep everyone waiting on me to finish. As I stopped, Becky came over to me, stood face to face with me, encouraging me to keep going. EJ stood to my right telling me, "You can do this". I then said, "Okay ... I can do this. Phil 4:13, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Please Lord help me." They both stood near me every step of the way. I had to stop three times to pause to rest before reaching the end. As I neared my completion, the others clapped and cheered for me. Thank you, Becky and EJ, for standing with me and giving me the extra encouragement I needed at that moment. Thank you Smallest Winners and Alumni for your encouragement and patience with me. You guys are awesome!!!
