Saturday morning Darci ran her first ever marathon!! We really wanted to support her, so some of us drove to Logan to surprise her. We had a blast on the ride up! We stopped at a Walmart in Logan to buy a poster and make a sign to cheer her on.
When we found the racers we picked a spot near the end to cheer her on. Thirty minutes later Destiny received a text from Darci saying she'd finished the race!! We were sad that we missed her, but we had fun cheering other runners on in the meantime.
After discovering Darci had finished the race we called her and found out where she was staying. We drove there and had a fun time congratulating her and finding out how the race had gone. We were a little sad we missed seeing her run, but that visit made it worth it.
She told us that at mile 20 she was so tired and just wanted to give up. She found strength in remembering that God will never give up on her, and that she should never give up on herself either.
We ended our visit with a prayer together, offered by Darci. What a beautiful and heartfelt prayer! The Spirit was very strong. I'm so grateful for the example my roommates are to me. We're all so different, yet we're the same. We're all just trying to be the best people we can be. That's what matters.
