5k and thoughts

So it is official we will be doing a 5K!

YEAH WOOT WOOT!!

I am really excited about the idea but I am also a little nervous.

I love organizing events, but I ALWAYS feel like I am going to forget something.

So I am going to use my blog as a place to process my thoughts and if I miss something(s) feel free to shout out!

Ok ...

Here it goes...

I need to find people willing to cook chicken. Probably 3 or 4.

For food we will need:

Plates

Forks

Napkins

Cups

A Giant Mac Salad

A huge pot of Baked Beans

Rolls?

The chicken and the mix we get from the sweet place in town.

For the race we will need:

Point Markers

Starting and Finishing Signs

...

there has to be more but I have never planned a 5k before. (eek!)

I am also thinking about t-shirts.

I think they will be white.

"open your heart to adoption" has sorta become our theme so I want to kinda stick with that but maybe design a shirt specifically for the 5k. Any thoughts?

I am trying my best to stop feeling overwhelmed... I get waves of panic when I think about ALL we have to do but it is usually quickly followed by a feeling of hope. I remember what we are doing this for and I am reminded of all the small children without parents and THEN i get all fired up and fear is the last thought on my mind.

I want to be obedient to the God we serve and do WHATEVER it takes to love the fatherless.

GOD has brought us here and when I am ready to give up (thinking He has left us) He floods my soul with peace and reminds me (yet again) that it is SO not about me.
