My First 5K!

So I did my first 5K!! It was called Run for Recovery, supporting people who are in recovery from drugs and alcohol abuse. The race was hard for me but my boyfriend was very supportive, cracking jokes the entire time we were out there lol. He's great.

 

We had a blast with my friend who's been encouraging me to run this whole time. She is pretty awesome and really loves to run! We all plan to run the Texans 5k race again together this month...already getting pumped up!

Do Everything for His Glory!

Such a good song!

1 Corinthians 10:31 "Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."

Colossians 3:17 "Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father."

Love is Simple

I'm totally in the Love Zone lol. I'm intrigued by love, confused by it, overwhelmed by it, and terrified of it all at the same time! This is a rough draft of what I've been working on lately. Nowhere near finished; I'll add to it as the thoughts keep rolling.

Love is simple. It is. Just do it. We, the people that make up relationships, make it hard. All the hassle, drama, expectations, obligations, frustrations. It's too much.

Simplify. Love. Cherish. Treat each day and each person as if it were your last and they were the only people on earth. I know that's cliche but just try it. See how simple it feels, how light and freeing love really is.

Because love is freedom. Freedom from selfishness to selflessness, bitterness to forgiveness, a sense of duty to pleasure, a desire to receive to a desire to give. You will never know how free you are until you truly love.

Tell me your thoughts :)

Quote of the Day

A Gift in My Lap

I'm learning that

Every person,
Every opportunity,
Every struggle,
Every circumstance,
Every interaction.
Every relationship,

are all gifts. 

I'm choosing carefully how I unwrap them.
