Struck down but not destroyed

First let me apologize for my leave of absence. I came down with a mean cold and missed about a week of training and a double dose of this blog. It's been a crazy couple weeks and I am glad to report that life is back to normal....almost. We moved to a new house last weekend (thank you Jesus) and even though we had many hands to help, the chore of relocating all your personal belongings can be overwhelming to say the least. So anyway, yesterday I jumped back in the saddle with an 8 mile run and felt better for it. I have fallen a bit behind on my mileage, but I am hopeful that I can make it up and complete the training program in time to run the full marathon on November 22nd.

Please stay tuned for details and most importantly pray with me for direction as we move into 2016 and make plans to grow Living Well Ministries. Last week we sent a few volunteers to a health fair at the Tulsa Community College Northeast Campus and met many students who showed interest in our mission, requesting more information about the ministry. At the end of this month we have another opportunity to serve students along with other folks from the community at the Oral Roberts University 50th Anniversary Celebration on October 24th at the 5K Arena Challenge. Some of the team will compete in the event and some of the team will be at the finish line to share refreshments and encouragement for the participants. 

I will meet with the ORU Aerobics Center Director this week to discuss our Spring community service project and to what level the University desires to be involved. Join with me this week to petition God for revelation knowledge and discernment about exactly where the event should take place (ORU, community center, church, public park) and who should be invited to serve alongside us (vendors, practitioners, health care providers, non-profits, wellness professionals). I am also finishing up our very first quarterly newsletter and contribution card that will be sent out before the years end. Pray for the Lord to guide and lead my efforts in writing blessing me with creativity, charisma and compassion as I reach out to those in contact with the ministry. Finally, I am so excited that the new promotional video is almost complete! We should have the short clip uploaded to the website by the end of this month and the webpage will also a few fresh additions on display. Coming soon!

II Corinthians 4:9-11 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
