La cosa es llegar!

I cannot wait to share with you guys about the awesomeness that was today's 10K run. It was nothing short of SPECTACULAR for me. The whole time I was thinking about all of you and how I can't wait to share every detail of this amazing cross-cultural experience with you. Unfortunately, I am super tired and it will have to wait until tomorrow. Just know that running in Peru makes me LOVE Peru even more. And it connects me to the people here in an incredible way. I just praise God for restoring my knee and for allowing me to run even though I'm running the slowest I ever have. Who cares!!!

Today I heard a female spectator say, as I was running past her, to her young son, "La cosa es llegar." I didn't hear anything else from the conversation, except her telling him "The thing is to arrive." Do you know how profound that is? To finish! To show up! To get to the end! That is THE THING! That applies to our spiritual lives as well. If we don't start, we CAN'T finish. I have thought about that statement all day and it has really stuck in my mind. She had no idea that I heard her, but it puts so many things in perspective. I'll share more about that tomorrow.....

Until then!!! Goodnight!! La cosa es llegar!!!
