I Can Do Hard Things!

 MILLVILLE 5K RUN
 Myriam made a goal to run the Millville 5K Run this summer.
She has been practicing for months with mom and dad.
Sadie and Packer decided to join her and have also practiced with us.
This morning, she woke up very sick.
She ran the race anyways! 
She can push herself to do hard things.

 Packer woke up and decided he wanted to only run the 1 mile.
Mom and Dad pushed him to run the 5K instead.
He was so proud of himself and he got a great time (29:10).
He even made himself a shirt for his first 5K and had us sign it.
Packer really experienced
FAITH=
Assurance to try something required of him that he was afraid of and 
Evidence afterwards that he can do it and will be able to do more hard things in the future.

Sadie did great- no pushing or complaining, she just did it.

Holland and Hunter ran the 1 mile run 
and they biked in the parade.  
Holland waved to everybody- like a princess-
as she rode her spider-man bike 
that had red streamers to make it kind of pretty.
