It has been too long since I have updated my blog, my apologies! I thought this would be a great opportunity to update everyone on my life. Life lately has been a weird mix of things from volunteering at Children's Hospital to meeting with friends weekly to watch The Office and Survivor to training to run a half marathon to traveling to the North Shore recently. Each of these four things have been teaching me a lot and this has been a time of challenges and growth.
Challenges - First of all I feel like a little bit of a wimp because I am only doing a half marathon, but it is hard non the less and I ate a lot of ribs this summer which I feel like I am dragging behind me every time I run. I mean I REALLY ate a lot of ribs this summer! No regrets, it is just making running hard and it has been teaching me commitment and a bit of sacrifice and discipline. What I have learned is that I should be as disciplined with my faith a lot of the time. It is something I am continuing to grow in, being consistent!
Children's - Man this has just shown me again how much I love kids! It is amazing there. Somedays are extremely challenging, some are incredibly rewarding. It is amazing seeing such sick kids with so much joy and life. It has challenged me to not sweat these small things that daily come my way that I worry about way too much and focus more on things that are really important!
The Office/Survivor - What can I say? It has taught me that laughing is important. It also has been a blessing to have such amazing friends!
North Shore - This one day trip was amazing! We camped in a parking lot, hiked a few miles, had a dog pee on our tent, enjoyed s'mores on Lake Superior and got really cold. It was beautiful though! One of the ways I can see God the most is just in the things that surround us and one of the places I love the most is the North Shore. I will close with this verse that I love from Psalms -
65:6-7 - "Who formed the mountains by your power, having armed yourself with strength, who stilled the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves..."
