5 mile run

From 4.13.11 (just posting it today!) In my infinite wisdom, I signed up for a half marathon in June. It seemed like a good idea. Afterall, I was putting good milage on the treadmill weekly, had motivation, and felt great.  So why is it that I pay the money and I run smack into the wall?   Motivation gone and strength are gone. The pressure is on, it is now a HAVE to not just a want to and the fight to overcome the mental barrier has began.

Spring is FAST approaching....

As a hard-core fall and winter gal, I find myself longing for open windows and warm temps.  This is because I need to get the toddler (almost a preschooler) outside.  The energy a 2 yr old boy generates needs to be harvested and sold!  He is crazy. And like all kids comes up with the darnest things to say like today, “Mommy I need to email”   Or his complete joy and surprise when I come home.  I would love to know what goes on in that little brain of his…

So Christmas, January, February, and March have come and gone since my last post.  God has done and is continuing to do so much in our lives.   It started in December as I was enjoying a sweet cup of coffee.  God through my thoughts clearly told me that I need to slow down. Slow down or die got my attention.  I stepped out of all extras, slowed down in the job, and really tired to choose carefully what we did. Ya know what; I was still tired at the end of the month.  So I can’t even imagine if I hadn’t slowed down. When I had been so burnt out that it would have been beyond recovery?  It was a terrifying place to be in and somewhere I don’t want to go back to.  Thankfully it was a lesson learned! Slow down and ask the Lord is our new motto.  Some times it is easier to follow than others but we keep trying!

 That’s all we can do in life is try! 

Well tonight I am off to the Honduras lock-in..   an 24 hour juice fast (which we started late because of bad time management on my part)  

Thank you Lord for not being legalistic!
