Well the big weekend is over and boy was it a close one!
Despite getting to bed early Wednesday and Thursday night I suddenly felt sick and had the chills on Friday. Throughout the day I prayed that God would allow me to rest and heal enough to do the fundraising marathon the next day. Waking up the next morning I still had symptoms but just decided to play for as long as I could and make up the rest of the time on another weekend, trusting that God's agenda is better than my own.
I won't pretend to know the mind of God, but perhaps at least part of his agenda was for me to surrender MY agenda. Because after I did that he seemed to bless my body and give me increasing strength throughout the day as my symptoms quickly began to vanish. With Yahweh's help I actually finished my 24-hour video game marathon in stronger physical condition than last year. By halfway through the marathon the CGC team reached and passed beyond our goal, and has currently raised $550 for children in need of urgent medical care.
I want to thank all of you who donated and praise Yahweh for positioning you with the resources and capacity to do so. This was a really exciting and rewarding victory!
Woohoo! Can't wait for next year!
