When everything started with my separation/divorce I started running to relieve stress.
It was really nothing big at the time, just something to get my mind clear and get outside these walls of my office/house.
Well now 2 1/2 years later, I am registered to run a 1/2 marathon in 4months! It is my first one ever and my goal is to run a full marathon by end of next year.
I really don't have a huge reason why, I just want to. I guess it is just something that I can say that I did, just for me.
I think too, it gives me a focus that just doesn't involve anyone or thing that is distracting.
It is late and time for bed....good night!

....please keep saving me....
I love the song 'Savior, please' , it speaks so much to my life. I try to be so much, full time mom, full time employer who is in charge all day at work, then full time student at night and in my free time, then of course full time servant to my Lord. But at the end of the day I am truly weak.
How does one fit it all in?, somehow God makes a way. What I wonder is how will He make a way for my future husband? I know it is God's will that I am married one day, and honestly with the last 6months, I would love if it were sooner than later.(but patient I WILL BE)
I say that and in the same breath I want no substitutes! I am only interested in the one God created for me from the foundation of the earth.
Is that too much for a girl to ask? :)
For an earthly girl, yes...but for this heavenly bound girl, NO---because my Lord is bigger than we can imagine and His promises are TRUE!
I am currently studying Esther, more specifically Beth Moore's study, "its tough being a woman"
I have to say I am so amazed how God's word speaks when we truly have no idea!
I was asked this summer by someone, or more given the statement, that "why do you think beauty is a curse?!" I answered that I didn't think I did, but I guess in a way I do.
I just want someone to look past the outside and see ME and want to see me for who I am , good and bad!
I do appreciate being complimented. But I have to be honest and say that when it is from my friends that really know me, I believe them more.
I have heard more than one time this summer and by more than one person, "you are beautiful inside and out" and I have to say that it just doesn't hold much meaning(from those that are not close to me). I know I shouldn't be that way and maybe when the right person says it and MEANS it, I will change my tune.
Anyway, in Esther I am learning a thing or two about "beauty".....so far I have to say that I hope that I have that "something" and that is what people see in me from inside out and not outside in.

Comparison
I heard a wonderful, beautiful comparison today;
John MacAuthur said, "It is no more difficult for God to create the universe than it is for Him to make a butterfly."
How beautiful is that. It makes me picture how He must have been thinking as He created me, and anything or one for that matter.
I love you Lord!
