Praise The Lord, here we are meeting at the finish line. What a fabulous challenge this has been!! Wow… I am both amazed and humbled at what the Lord has done through this 2024 Spring100. WHAT A JOY! Well done everyone!! For those who faithfully participated but could not meet the 100-mile goal, we are giving you a huge round of applause for your dedication and perseverance. 👏🏼👏🏼 REMEMBER, “bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.” This is just a physical challenge that is intended to encourage you in the spiritual race you are daily participating in. Run the race with endurance setting your eyes on Jesus Christ, the Author and FINISHER of our faith!! For those who made it 100+ miles, CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉 A fun goal of 100+ miles was set, many obstacles were overcome, and by the grace of God YOU MADE IT! 🙌🏻 Reminder, you can now order your 2024 Spring100 T-shirt. ORDER HERE! As we wrap up the 2024 Spring100 challenge, I am praying for all of you. May you leave this challenge encouraged, strengthened, and renewed in the Lord! It is my prayer that you would “grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.” He is always faithful! 🙋🏼‍♀️

Until we meet again… in Christ’s unfailing Love,
Rachel – Psalm 147:11

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:1-2
