I Struggle with Consistency

I feel like today's title is a "duh?!" haha
I CANNOT see to keep up with this blog. It is a sincere challenge for me to write here every day. BUT...ALAS...I will continue to try :)

On a running front, things are goin real well :) I'm at a (surprisingly) consistent 5k a day :) My next race is on SIX DAYS! WHAT?!!? Craziness :) This one is a 10k that my wonderful, athletic fam is runnin with me! I am so very excited to see and run with them :))) My heart is all sorts of fuzziness just thinkin about it :) As far as trainin for the half marathon, I just need to stay consistent (there's that dang word again) on doing my long runs along with my "short" runs. (Never in my 22 years would I have thought that I would consider 3 miles a short run...who am I?)

It has been nearly three months since I committed to being a runner :) What a fantastic three months indeed :) I have learned SO much about myself and my abilities in Christ through this new hobby. Crazy to think an athletic endeavor could enhance my relationship with my Lord and Savior. Verses about races are certainly more applicalble ;) It's just been so good for my heart and soul to have this. My life was already blessed beyond all definitions of the word, but this has given it more depth :) I LOVE IT!

I want to encourage you all to seek something new; possibly something you never imagined yourself doing. Tackle it full on with prayer and encouragement from His Word. It's exciting and brings on great growth :)

This is a super-smiley infused post. I'm not going to apologize for it strictly because I believe in the hope for Smiley Infused posts, letters. moments, hours, days, weeks, months, years, lives, YAY! Be smiley today :) In texts, in blogs, in coffeeshops, in church, in restaurants....SMILE...see what happens :)

Time to run...

Love Y'all :)

Cabin Fever

I want to run. BUT I am SO thankful for this time to work on school work. God is good and faithful :) It's just 5 short days until my FAVORITE day of the year: VALENTINE'S DAY! I know...I know... grumblegrumblegrumblegrumble Hear me out here: Forget about the pepto-pink aisles at WalMart lined with Love Note TUMS and enough candy to send you into a sugar coma for 19 months. Forget about the oversized Teddy bears that could double as couches if you ever found yourself in a pinch.Go with me here: Imagine a day where everyone has a little lift to their step, Imagine a day where sincere compliments are filling the hallways of offices and schools. Imagine smiles, all smiles, all day long. Imagine if for just one day everyone truly Loved their neighbor and treated everyone they met that day as a friend. That's the kind of Valentine's Day I'm rooting for :) More on that tomorrow :) Maybe I'll get to run too :)

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 :)
