Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

I do realize that I have been a bit absent this last month. I took an unplanned hiatus over Christmas to spend time at home. The limited access to a computer might have had something to do with it as well :/

I have tried to write this post SEVERAL times in the last week. At first, I resolved to write again on January 23rd, because that would be a month since I last wrote. For some unknown reason...that just wasn't happening; too perfect maybe. My heart wasn't quite back into blogging yet. Let me take a moment and let the blogger world into my soul:

The last month has been quite the emotional roller coaster. Not exactly the kind of coaster I'd purchase a season pass to ride 57 times in a season, but one that worth the hype and long line. Typical story: Girl meets Boy. Girl likes Boy. Boy and Girl become best friends through middle school, high school, and college. Eight years later, they kiss in a game of Truth or Dare. Girl and Boy date for two weeks. Boy knows what's best and suggests their time has been spent. Girl understands and begins to heal.

Mmmmk....maybe not UBER typical, but certainly chick flick worthy (so much so that it took me a month to be able to handle a real chick flick again haha. I had my own fix)

I've learned SO much about myself, my relationship with My Jesus and my God-given desires. To quote my dear friend Jacki, this has been such a sweet time. I'm not goin to lie to you Bloggoys and Bloggettes, my heart got a battered a little, but what better time to lean on the Eternal Mercy and Love of the Lord Almighty than when you're feelin a little down. Unfortunately, we're more likely to lend an ear to God when we've seemingly lost what we so desperately were holdin onto.

I want a guy to call my own, and I want a guy to point at me from across the room and say, "That's her." I mean really...don't we all? I'm learnin though, I have my Jesus. I don't mean that in a cheesy, "I'll turn to my religion since clearly earthly boys want nothing to do with me." It's just not that way. I sing nearly every Sunday that God is enough for me. He is enough...he is enough..he is enough. Time to live it. Yes, I believe God has an amazing man who is daily seeking to be Christ-like and praying for the day I enter his life, but even when I meet him...he will not be able to fulfill my every need. If I am not secure in my Jesus and my Faith, I am no good to this fellow. I want a Jesus seekin lad that I can run this race with.

Now, you might be thinkin', "MMMk Miss High and Almighty, what happens if that's not God's plan and you don't get maRRIED, HUH? wHAT THEN?!" Well first off, easy Pharisee.....second, as i said, God is enough. He will fill that desire for a husband with His Love and really....i would be counted Blessed if that was the case. I don't know the story, but I'm SO excited to live it :)

Now, sticking with the theme of this blog, YES I AM STILL RUNNING! Ran my first race on January 8th! My next race is February 26th! Might do a few in March then my big goal of the HALF MARATHON is MAY 1st!

Training started today :) Three miles at 7am on black ice and snow sounds scary, but it wasspectacular! God is SO good for giving me this motivation. I'll document each run, each day here on the blog. I'll also be documenting my Race to my Prize in Heaven :)

I'm SO excited to share this with you :)

Let me know if I can pray for you in any way.

Reason for the Season

"We love because HE FIRST LOVED us." 1 John 4:19 We are called to do as Christ did; Love...LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! I cannot say that enough times. We are called to LOVE everyone. Love your fellow humans. There is absolutely NO reason to not love someone ESPECIALLY after you FIRST meet them. WHat have they done to you at that point that merits a no-love response? I'm not calling any one person out, I'm just sayin: If we are to truly live out a CHRISTian walk.....we best be lovin' on peole. CHRISTmas is a time of celebration for what our God has done for us. "For He SO LOVED the world, that he GAVE His ONLY begotten Son that who so ever BELIEVES in Him, should NOT perish, but have everlasting life." -John 3:16 The God of the UNOVERSE Loved YOU enough to send His Son to the Earth, live a human life, with human temptation, and die on a cross as YOUR scape goat. THIS IS A BIG DEAL! Some people cannot wrap their minds around someone loving them that much bec...

December :)

October is my favorite month, but December...oh December.....it makes me heart so happy. It's like the cute boy in your boring class who just makes it worth it. ......an oatmeal cream pie following a rigorous workout. Vanilla Raspberry Black Coffee at 5:30am.... ....a hug on a less-than-stellar day... ...a dress with pockets.... You get it. December is FANTASTIC! I am challenging myself to blog every day in December. As most of you have realized, I am a truly awful blogger when it comes to my consistency. I look at this challenge as a way to work on my reliability and commitment issues :) I'm glad I have YOU to hold me accountable :)

Wanted: Colorado Mountain Man

I found this title fitting because of my crazy urge to hike up mountains lately! (and because Dear Darci and I joked about this being the name of my blog, becuase, let's face it, that's my type :]) I realize I have three days to catch you up on, here we go, lightning round style! Sunday: Went to Mountain View Bible Fellowship right down the mountain from the Inn. I was a little nervous, but it's God's House and God's family....hopefully I'd be welcome. God blessed me with the most wonderful older women. One of them called after me as I walked in exclaiming that she did not know my face. Her name is Joyce and her and her husband lived in Waco the first three years they were married. She did not enjoy it and she has no problem letting me know that. She has been going to this church since 1962. Insert Barbie (wearing an ironic pink skirt suit) her and Joyce have been best friends since the 70's. Joyce then begins to introduce me to nearly every member of the co...
