Color Run [mobile post]

Last year, I participated in the Color Run. I bragged to Ryan about all the fun and he promised to run it with me this year... 

Right after Ryan passed away, Justice and I signed up for the Color Run, in Sacramento. Race day would have been today, and we had been training for the 3-mile event over summer. We were determined not to let our grief keep us captive, and looked forward to the fun... Then, 2 weeks ago today, Justice fell and broke her leg. 

Again, we felt knocked down and held back. 

Yesterday we went to packet pick-up, so that we could at least collect the t-shirt and bib from what would have been a fun time. The sweet and sympathetic people with Color Run put out race bracelets on Justice's cast as an anklet, and gave us a color packet in every color so that we could enjoy some variation of color festivities at home. 

With Ryan on our hearts, we threw colored chalk at each other this afternoon. 

We will not sit back and let life happen to us. We will be active participants. Doing God's will for us regardless of satan's attempts to knock us backward.. 

We love you, Bubbo. And today would have been much more fun if you could have been physically with us. But we know we have a cheerleader in the grandstands of Heaven. 

We miss you. 

--Julie (and Justice)--
