It is no accident each of you run and dance, for “beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace and bring glad tidings of good news.” Roman 10:15
The way each of you move reflects how you go through life. I believe it’s symbolic of all you will do and accomplish. By the way, I stand in awe of what both of you do. I have the honor of calling two of the most committed, courageous and hardworking people I know my children. You give 100% and bring excellence to all you do.
God gave me this word for each of you:
Daniel, you will run through life with pounding feet and long strides. You run to the rhythm of two feet thunderously hitting the ground, unrelenting and traversing difficult and unknown paths. You will have hills and valleys in your journey through life, but you will conquer the terrain. Daniel you were meant to “run and not grow weary.”
Susan, you will dance through life with leaps, turns and complicated steps.
You will move to the beauty of life’s music, sometimes happy and energetic and at times sad and soulful. You will demonstrate how grace and strength can be used together to be mighty and powerful. Susan, you were meant to “soar on wings like eagles.”
Life, much like a race or performance requires determination and is filled with pain, sweat and tears. The journey is difficult, but the goal is to make it through to the end of the race and performance. You will be bruised along the way and at times feel faint, but it will still be the desire of your heart. You live for the victory of knowing you finished the task and you see the beauty at the end. Remember, God promises to renew your energy and be your source of strength. You will know you have won in this life when you take the bow and cross the finish line. Let your ribbon and medal, flowers and applause be found in Jesus Christ. Finish strong, catch the wind of the Spirit and soar higher and faster than you ever dreamed of for both of you carry His presence and “were born for such a time as this.”
