My faith is important to me. Or, let me clarify; my God is important to me. So much of what I talk about, busy myself with, learn about, surround myself with...etc is connected to my faith and my relationship with God. To be honest, it's the thing I am most passionate about. I LOVE to talk about God with others. I love sitting about and sharing faith stories and pulling apart a verse from the Bible. I love hearing other's insight into what that verse is teaching them. I'm a pretty laid back, even keeled person - but when conversations turn to God - I get excited. I remember the first time I realized that talking about God and being comfortable with that, excited even was on my very first mission trip as a teenager. I was 15 and we were in a community center at a homeless shelter in Boston. As a young child and teenager and sometimes even now - I tended to be very quiet and shy. At school I was not the one raising m...
I have read on occasion a blog by Emily Freeman who has a serious of "What I have learned" blog posts. Her latest - What I have learned in August. I thought I would join in! Here are a few things I have learned! 1. How nice it is to have days where you are home ALL DAY LONG. This summer was busy. And it included a lot of being out.. I think it was August before we had a day where we didn't have to go anywhere. And ya'll.. it was glorious! I'm a home body. Asher is a home body. Hannah.. - not so much. It's a balance, but I long for days of just being home. Who is with me? 2. I'm not a runner, swimmer or biker.. unless it's for fun. My husband on the other hand.. all about the training and the challenge and the competition. He participated in a triathlon in mid August. The swim wasn't bad. I didn't see the hills that were a part of the b...
So, I think October won. October definitely had me beat. Worn out and tired, I can feel the cold weather blah's coming on and October was not productive. I feel like I trudged through last month in a fog and it's time to get a hold of things and pull back out of it. So, November here I come and I plan to win. For Starters, November means getting back to the Y and exercising. I had glorious plans of getting into shape, losing some added pounds, pouding the pavement.. I mean, both my kids are in school ALL day now.. I have hours upon hours to exercise and it JUST. HAS. NOT. HAPPENED. And I could beat myself up over it. In fact, the jeans getting tighter are doing a fine job of that themselves.. Instead, I'm hitting the Y this month and setting a goal again of 30in30. I did this a while ago - with running.. 30 miles of running in 30 days.. I'm no where ready to be running 30 miles this month, ...
