Just Stuff!

The past couple of days have been really good. I have been studying hard and running even harder. Brady gave me my running plan for the next 5 weeks...crunch time for Fiesta Bowl! I am totally geeked!!! I a going to push myself for this bad boy -

well, at least something like it...this was from last year LOL. I know my body has more in there. I need to push from deep within; no time to be a sissy.

Matt has been training with me, and I am so SO proud of him. He has registered to complete the 3tv 10K next weekend with me and Brady, so that should be a lot of fun. 10Ks are my absolute favorite! I think it is because my body just starts to get warmed up at the 3 mile mark.

I have my second accounting exam on Tuesday. I have been doing nothing but accounting problems in my head since about 2 weeks ago...I really hope I do well. I have a study group coming over on Saturday to go over all the problems. We need to be able to do the problems quickly because it is a timed exam. I am a little nervous...if I don't kill this exam, I am taking the class again.

I registered for Spring semester today. After Spring, I have 5 classes left! I can't believe it; 5 classes left!!!! I have worked my butt off. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. My life can finally start next year...wow, it's weird just saying that.

How Does God Speak To You?

Isn't it amazing that during the quietest moments of your day, like the still of the morning's start, God finds a way to break the silence to remind us that he is there, when no one else is?  For me, it is the Hummingbirds that sing to me in my backyard.  Living in Michigan, we had Hummingbirds, but not like we have now in Arizona.  They are such beautiful creatures.  And every morning when I get up to let the dogs out and feed them their breakfast, my little friends are there to wish me a good day in the new day's light my Heavenly Father provided for me...provided for us all.


The past few months have brought many uncertainties to my life, but the one thing I know is that God is always there, watching over me, protecting me...like he always has.  Sometimes he answers the deep questions of my heart, and sometimes he doesn't.  But it doesn't matter because I know he is there.

God Gave Me Wings

Oh yes he did!  I finished the Detroit Half only two minutes over what my Disney Half was...that is practically a miracle!  What did I learn from this?  I need to stay more disciplined - eating better and training WAY more than I did.  Granted, we are just starting our running season and school has been kicking my butt, BUT no excuses for the Fiesta Bowl.  I have 1 month and 2 weeks...let the fun begin!
