What a Day!

This has been quite the day! I woke up at 6:30 this morning, and I went back to bed until almost 9. Then I got up and ran 6 miles. It felt good...but I still feel like I have such a long way to go before I'm ready to run a marathon. My dad ran 7 miles this morning, and I think that he should run the marathon with me instead of running the half.

Then I decided that I really wanted a fruit smoothie...made with real fruit, so I started thinking about where I could get one. I decided on getting on from a place in Manhattan...KS not NYC. And I wanted to go to JCPenny's anyway, so I headed for Manhattan.

I didn't get anything that I was planning on getting, except the smoothie...Mango Tango...so delicious!! However, I went into Christopher and Banks and ended up getting a skirt and top, but I was super excited because the skirt is a size 8 which I haven't fit into in years. :) God is so Good!!! He is such a wonderful guide and He knows me so well. He gets all the glory for me finally losing weight. Trust me, I tried to do it all by myself...didn't work.

I also went to the natural foods store in Manhattan, and they had the kind of yogurt that I like, so I picked up some yogurt, which just makes me happy.

Then I came home and went to work. Work was INSANE tonight. I am so glad that I only have 3 shifts left, but my next paycheck is going to be another nice one, so I'm happy about that.

Then I came home and I got to talk to K on the phone for a long while, and now I am just plain tuckered out. I have work again tomorrow morning, and I am contemplating a trip to the coffee shop before work.

Now I need to spend some more time with Jesus before I hit the hay for the night. I also listened to Mike Bickle's Song of Solomon series today, and I am so excited to listen to some more of the sessions. They are sooo amazing!! I can't wait to see what all God has to show me through them.

Also just a little over a week until the beach!!! I am SOOOOO excited!!

Called Beauty

I'm listening to Pandora right now, and the song that is on is Love Song . I'm not sure what exactly that has to do with my life at the moment, but thought I would share it with you all. In fact, I feel rather at a loss as to what I should say as I sit here eating sweet potatoes. I had a lovely run with my roommate, B, today. We both decided that it is much more fun to run with someone than to run outside alone...not to mention smarter as our neighborhood isn't the greatest. Running feels so awesome now. I am getting new running shoes tomorrow, and I'm really excited about them. The lady at the store let me go out on the sidewalk and run back and forth to test them out when I went today to look, and they just felt really amazing. Switching Subjects... I have never really had many guy friends. I'm not sure why. I think part of it had to do with the fact that for a while I was really scared of men in general. Then I went through a men disliking period (I refuse to say

learning to savor

I was asked today if money wasn't an object, if I didn't have to work, if I could do anything in the world, live anywhere in the world, what would I do? I wanted to give her a thoughtful answer, a truthful answer, so I thought about it. If I could do anything what would I do? My heart leapt within me at the thought. It's one of those rare opportunities where you just allow yourself to dream for a minute of a perfect world. What would that world look like? I knew within myself what I would do, and I did my best to express it to this lady. I would have a house on the beach. It would be a safe place, a resting place, a refuge. It would be open to anyone who wanted to come. I would have tea every afternoon with my friends. I would cook and bake. I would work in my garden in the backyard. I would spend hours in communion with my Beloved. I would take walks on the beach, watching the sunset. I would sit on my front porch and soak up the day and night. I would savor life, and I wo

I say Hi!

I have discovered the secret to avoiding awkward situations... things are only awkward if you make them awkward. Think about it. We take our cues from the people around us. If someone else is trying to make you feel awkward, and you just ignore it and go on with life...then they will stop. I was in a situation tonight that could have been awkward, if I had made it that way, but I choose not to. As a result I ended up having a great conversation and was very encouraged and uplifted from it. Anyway...this is going to be short because it has been a very long day and I have a lot of homework to do tomorrow...so tomorrow is going to be a very long day. We finally covered Philippians 3 in Bible Study tonight...so excited to move on. Also, I am greatly enjoying playing chess with a good friend...we are having about a weekly match up. Good times!! I'm getting better, so we'll see if I'm able to eventually pull off a win. Funny how God grants little desires of our hearts. I always k
