Living Life Abundantly
When Jesus said, “the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy, I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly” (John 10:10), we take that seriously. It makes it clear that the enemy would keep us sitting on the couch or the sidelines, watching everyone else do life.
This page is dedicated to those taking steps, big and small, toward living life with joy and abundance. Submit a photo or two of how you are taking action, along with up to three sentences describing your story. We will share some of them here to encourage, inspire, and build hope.

TO THE TOP BEFORE SUNRISE
My son and I climbed Cathedral Rock, Trailhead 170, in the dark with headlamps to watch the sunrise at the top. Every workout leading to this was worth it. -Coach Michele (12/12/2023)
More Than A Goal Achieved
This 5K at the Columbus Zoo did more for me than just accomplishing a goal. It challenged my fear of crowds. When we turn things over to God, He gives us the strength to keep moving forward, whether that's a health goal or a lifelong challenge. -Cheryl A (12/9/2023)
Personal Best By An Hour And Three Minutes
Sometimes, you do something just to show yourself you can. We did another half marathon, in better shape physically and mentally. We knocked one hour and three minutes off our 2021 time. -Coach Michele & Coach Amy (10/21/2023)
A CELEBRATION HIKE ^
I reached my main weight loss goal, so I rewarded myself by checking another box off my vision statement: a hike at Hocking Hills with friends. (70+ pounds gone! 6/24/2023) -Cheryl A
A Vision Realized - Our First Half
It was the last check box on my written vision. It took almost two years from the time we started training to complete it, but here I am with my son and Amy the day after Thanksgiving 2021, running our half marathon. Nicola joined us virtually. -Coach Michele (Left: Coach Michele, Tab, Coach Amy. Right: Coach Nicola. 11/26/2021)
Before You Run a Half You Have to Run a 5K
My written vision included a half-marathon, so we signed up for a 5K and started training. Here we are with our medals after completing it. -Coach Michele (Photo Coach Amy & Coach Michele 06/12/2020)
