Missing the Islands

I miss the islands mucho!!! I wish I could jump on a plane and be back there today. Yesterday I was sitting in Starbucks with my family and there was islands music playing and it made me happy. Today I came up with a fantastic idea...Bob Marley Pandora station...yep it happened!

I ran 12 miles on Saturday. It was awesome!! My family was here and my mom was my support crew. She biked beside me most of the way and had fluids for me which made it much easier. I have never before ran 12 miles altogether, so it was pretty amazing.

It was fun to spend the weekend with my family. We camped out Saturday night, Sunday, and I came back to SGF this morning after a 5-6 mile run. I am so excited to go to the chiropractor tomorrow...my back has been killing me for the last couple of days. I'm sure sleeping on an air mattress on the ground hasn't helped it any.

I had a great talk with my parents last night. I'm a little nervous about what the future holds, but I know that God is going to open doors as they need to be opened, but I'm not sure I will be going to grad school next year.

I have been attempting to do my homework and get caught up on everything else this afternoon. I have a meeting here in about an hour, and then I'm going to family dinner. I'm taking butternut squash since my parents brought it down for me. I also have 3 huge watermelons which I'm pretty excited about.

Well, I need to finish getting ready to go to campus, and I need to run by the grocery store real quick so I have everything for family dinner.

Also, I'm so happy because the school has given me a refund from my scholarship money!!! God is so good to provide for us!!

Peace out! Safe!

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
