It took place just a month before recording this episode and it was amazing. I watched it over and over again, and it made me think about coming in last. Not just on the track, but in life. This gave me pause as I reflected on when I feel alone, and how God has shown me that I am never alone nor beyond hope. The last-seeded horse, \u201cRich Strike\u201d and jockey, \u201cSonny Leon\u201d, won the derby this year. Every time he passed another team, it seemed like he would get stuck, but he never did. Every small opportunity was seized by this team, and they beat the odds 80:1. I wonder, if he had been seeded first, would the result have been the same? During the times in my life when I have been beaten down and said yes anyway, God has given me the guts and gumption to try that much harder, trusting I will keep going for as long as the race is. God puts me in the perfect position to make a difference in this race, giving me everything I need to cross the finish line. You don\u2019t have to be in the race all the time, but when you are, you have to allow God to take the reins. He will move us through whatever opportunity we\u2019ve been given. He has us at every turn, through all of the weather, and through all the breakdowns. His miracles will come. Say yes and give the reins up. Together, you will create joy, peace, happiness, and things will move in your life. &amp;nbsp; Join me on Instagram: @perfectlyimperfectranda Click here to watch Rich Strike Win Be a Co-Author in the \u201cHealing through Broken Relationships\u201d book  https:\/\/www.freedomhousepublishingco.com\/be%20a%20co-author%20in%20randa's%20collaboration Listen to Randa\u2019s EP \u201cDUTCH7 Lullabies\u201d on Apple music http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/album\/id\/1623834376 Listen to Randa\u2019s EP \u201cDUTCH7 Lullabies\u201d on Spotify https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/2BasB7vSDApuv6CLDGB3qI Listen to Randa\u2019s music on YouTube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCchsVCJNYCiGRzCvjYC739w Randa\u2019s Website https:\/\/randa-dutcher.mykajabi.com\/ ","author_name":"Going Dutch","author_url":"http:\/\/goingdutchpodcast.libsyn.com\/website","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/23308277\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/129088454"}
