In Training....

In this new year, the Lord has been calling me to run... run... and run. What brought on this erg?? hahaha I am not sure. Yes, of course to feel better about myself and look better as well, but I think he is preparing me for something bigger. Jane Kimmel and I have signed up to run in the Oxford Run for Hope, which benefits children with diabetes and cancer, the Relay for Life, which also goes to cancer patients, and the March of dimes. Running has become my quiet time with God and a little "me" time. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it! I hope to next year be running in the Frost Bite, which is a half marathon here in Starkville. Mrs. Orly Hardin, my boss, mentor, and friend has inspired me to do so :). I am thinking that this is the Lords way of telling me to slow down my busy life and just enjoy something as simple as running. So... for the next few weeks/months, I will be "in training" on my walk with the Lord as well as a 10k! Pray for me and wish me luck!!

"This is my command-be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart;do not depend own your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take." Proverbs 2:9

"He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken. My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me."
Psalm 62:6-7

"So don't worry, because I am with you. Don't be afraid, because I am your God. I will make you strong and will help you; I will support you with my right hand that saves you." Isaiah 41:10


My Bucket List :)

1) run a marathon ( haha or a half marathon will suffice)

2) get my pilots license

3) go skydiving... yes my friends, I want to jump out of a plane! (call me crazy)
