Monday Memory Verses - A command with certain comfort for me and for my family, knowing God is always with us - that he even goes before us and leads the way in the adventure and the work He has called us to:
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”(Joshua 1:9 ESV)
"It is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”
(Deuteronomy 31:8 ESV)Training Tuesdays - It's getting easier - not easy, but easier - to run the 5Ks I have mapped out around my house. The most difficult is the Ramsey route which has a steep hill, just shy of the 1 mile mark. Yesterday, I ran the entire "Race for the Cure" 5 K route on my treadmill. It was so fun to virtually see the road and buildings as my treadmill has a "street view" option. I remembered some of the buildings and turns from two years ago, and cheered when Tiger Stadium came into view. I forgot that once we got to the stadium, we had to run AROUND it. LOL! I made it! YAY! That is the first milestone.
Weight Watch Wednesday - All I can say is - the slope is still negative, which is positive. I would like it to be more negative. Being on the road traveling a lot, makes eating right, difficult. I am getting better at making good choices, though.
Thankful Thursday - WOW! How do I begin?
- Thankful for the flexibility of my job that allows me to work from any location, at flexible hours.
- Thankful for the two fun days road-tripping with Cristin to her job interviews in Ft. Wayne, IN.
- Thankful for God's clear answer to Cristin accepting her first job offer.
- Thankful for God's provision of the perfect apartment for Cristin - the least expensive, with open spaces, and tenants her age in a great location with lots of stores nearby and easy access to the expressway!
- Thankful for an e-mail from a supplier in Germany I have never met and the instant connection we made as a brother/sister in Christ. It made my day, and my response made his. :) (He had typed "Read John 3:16" at the very bottom of his e-mail. I replied "John 10:10 - Living the abundant life! :)" Subsequent e-mails indicated that he is no longer allowed to include Bible verses at the bottom of his e-mails, but we can still Praise God together, through our correspondence with the knowledge we already have of our common bond.
Songspiration Saturday & Sunday - One of my favorite albums to run to is Jeremy Camp's "Live Unplugged". This week, these two songs kept playing in my head - they kinda go together:
-
Lord -
Empty me - I want less of me (literally and figuratively speaking) and more of You! Empty me of any desire that's not of you. My desire is to be used by you...

So many praises!!! Yeah! And to think Cristin in done with her college studies right now, and is starting a new job...where did that time go? I still remember her singing and playing the piano in the old Ponderosa building before she left for her first year.
