THE Video

Just a little note on the Hoyt Team video:

This video was first shown to me this past summer as a bunch of my friends crowded around a computer desk in our host's pantry!

Backround: Six of us women ventured to a Beth Moore conference one weekend this past summer. On the way home, we had the privilege of staying in the home of the sister to one of my fantastic friends. It was the perfect cap to all we had taken in at the conference.

For those of you who are familiar with Beth Moore, there is nothing to say! For those of you who are not, I will say this...

GET FAMILIAR!!!

Find her book, find a study, watch her on "Life Today"...anything! You have got to get to know this anointed woman! If I knew how to link her to my blog, I would! So once I get that figured out, I'll let you know!

Anyway...the video...

This video stuns me because I'm not so sure I would have committed to that for my kid! (My next blog will be 'confessions of a prairie mom!' LOL) The song is so fitting too, because our Redeemer committed to SO MUCH MORE! It's ME riding along in that race. It's ME that my Redeemer is doing all that for! My race is much longer though. It's a lifetime.

As far as the handicaps go? I have plenty of them.

That video can be compared to (and in no way an I minimizing the severity of his handicap or the lengths that his father went through) so many area of our lives. Right now, my area just happens to be our "un-farm".

I see God carrying us through all of this and I love the smile Rick Hoyt has at the end.

I am looking forward to mirroring that smile!

Note: If you have any comments on this video, I'd love to hear them!
