Hello November, I'm coming for you!!


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, but I can walk.  Easy Peasy.  This morning I started.  2 miles on the treadmill baby.  #2of30.  Knocking it out.  HA.  Who wants to join me?  Just hashtag your progress..  twitter it, facebook it..  intstagram it..  whatevs..  just do it.  30in30.  


Also, Worship.  I'm declaring this a month of worship.  If I am going to get through this winter; the coldness, the bleakness, the blahness..  then I need to worship..  every day and all day.  So, I'm filling this place with worship.  My voice will be praising my Lord, my focus is on Him.  I want to live abundantly..  Ya'll John 10:10.. - Jesus tells us that HE has come that we may have life and have it ABUNDANTLY.  Even in winter.  And I truly believe with all that I am, that abundant life in Christ comes through a posture of worshipping him.   So, I'll make beds and worship Jesus.  I'll pick up lego's and worship Jesus.  I'll fold wash and do dishes and pick up my kids from school, and make dinner, and walk my 30 miles and sleep and eat and talk with students and plan programs and pray with complete abandon all in an act of worshipping my Savior.  

I'm coming for ya November and this time..  I'm winning.  Or Worshipping.
What's your favorite act of worship?

What I learned in August

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...

God knew we needed her.

It's this sweet girls birthday today.  She turns 6.  I remember like it was yesterday..  finding out I was pregnant with her.  Asher was a mere 5 months old.  5 months ya'll.  And I don't think he had slept yet..  well, maybe for only 20 minutes.  He was not a sleeper.  He was a wide awake, curious, alert, round baby.  Which meant Momma had not slept for 5 months either.  I was tired.  I remember standing in our kitchen behind the counter, prepping for dinner when John walked in.  I'm pregnant, I told him.  Again.  We'll have another newborn due the end of October.  And I cried.  I cried, because sometimes finding out you are having a baby is overwhelming.  And I was tired.  And I thought I would never get to sleep again.  EVER.  And how was I supposed to mother and care for another little person who might keep me up all night too.  How?   Oh, HOW, I thank Go...
