My Days, ...

This week has been quite busy to say the least. A great friend of mine came to visit me and it was fantastic! I'm so blessed to have great friends and I still have a hard time believing some are even willing to fly half way across the nation just to see ME. My days lately have been filled with quiet times ( not as much as I'd like), runs ( increasing mileage weekly for a half marathon I'm training for), working, classes, mentoring, Mary Kay, church, oh and somewhere maybe even a social life. ALthough, I'm busy I'm doing my best to work hard and be content with my blessed life. I have a lot to be so young and in fact some may even think spoiled but I prefer the word blessed haha.

I'm currently overcoming challenges in my life and being reminded over and over that I HAVE TO give mysefl over to CHrist DAILY, not weekly, not monthly, not every sunday or sunday night, but DAILY. I remember to pray, I remember to read my bible but I am still struggling with the idea of giving it up to Christ.

My prayer Requests:

-Submit to Him daily
-To not worry ( especially financially)
-My friend, Sarah- big life changes ( acceptance to masters program)
-My friend, Courtney-preparation for wedding, job placement
-My friend, Lindsey Jo-traveling to Kenya, fears, anxiety, preparation, finances.
-My friend, Amanda-job placement, career adjustments
-My friend, Emma Lynn-career, husband, baby, time out for her.
-My friends, Brandon and Adam-money for their trip to Africa.
-My goal of $3800 for the Half Marathon I'm running for to help find a cure for blood cancers

-My friend, Shelley and family- parent in law passed away
-To all the people who do not know Jesus as his/her personal Lord and Savior.

Changes

I for once decided not to make any "new year resolutions" and the crazy thing is I have done better just by balancing my life out more than I ever have with setting goals for myself. What I've figured out that works for me is actually not fearing a routine or even making plans. You see last year (which was only a little over a month ago), I feared committing to anything. In result I commited to so much (last minute) that I had no direction. Well, when you have no direction whether it is physically or spiritually you just can't see straight. I had no clue that I was so blinded from all of the junk I was allowing to filter into my daily routine. Long story short, I have been tring to unclog the drain in my "not so committed self" ever since. Surprisingly enough though I've been pretty happy with the way my days have been recently. I tend to work at night so my mornings are "ME/God time" and then lunches and afternoons are either friend time or catch up on chores and errands time except for today. Today I woke up around noon because I didn't get off work til 3am last night (working at Sorenson Comunications-NOT on the corner;)). Back to me waking up. Whenever I decided to actually get up I felt this horrible pain in my lower back. To make a boring story short, I think running on the treadmill is messing me up. You see, I am "training" my body to run a 13 mile/half marathon in San Diego in June. It's to help raise money for kids with Leukemia in the North Texas region. We'll see how it goes. If you would like to help support me in this race for the cure that would be awesome and many thanks in advance. If you can't spare some change then prayers are great too so whether or not you can pitch in prayers are always helpful! I'm still at The Feet:). I'm changing my schedule around at work soon so I can hopefuly get to The Feet earlier to help out. If you are in the area and are ever interested in coming to The Feet
(a homeless ministry) then let me know, we can carpool or something:). Well guess that's all I have to blab about for now. Have a great God-filled day!
