Running

I started running today. I did about a 1/4 mile, which is a big deal, for not having run for a long time.
I've set a goal to run 2-3 miles in 2 months, and I'm pretty sure that I can do it. I found a couple training programs, and they look pretty good, after doing some research. So here goes!

The Lord is teaching me about discipline, and I'm getting better... I've been writing more, and playing my piano more, and setting aside more time in the Word, and to read... I'm rediscovering my love of books, and I'm excited!

I'm reading Orthodoxy again, since the last time I read it was 3 or 4 years ago, and then I want to read Kite Runner. Adam and I watched the movie, and it was fantastic, so now I'm reading the book.

Any suggestions on things to read, once I'm finished with those??

Busy!

God's doing a lot.. There's soooo much going on!
This weekend is going to be pretty much non stop, starting tonight.

I've been journaling a lot more in the last week, which has been good for my clarity of mind and my inspiration. I've found that if I'm writing in my journal regularly, I have more consistent inspiration to write songs.

I've also been doing a cleanse, and I'm feeling so much healthier as I get further along in it.

I'll write more later this weekend, I hope. :)

hmm

i'm exhausted.
today has been so good.
tomorrow i have an interview. wheee!!
i'll post more tomorrow, hopefully.

Things..

I missed some old friends tonight. It's funny how many of them I have.
:-/

I'm also getting in the swing of things with some running. This week will be much more consistent.

Now if I can only get into a habit of writing/blogging. I remember how much I used to enjoy it, I just haven't made the time to sit down and do it again.

I'm so ashamed..

I haven't been keeping up with my blog like I said I would.
That is going to change, I promise. I've made a deal with myself to write more, and this is part of that deal.
So consider this a heads up. Also, keep reminding me to post. It may take a bit to get into enough of a habit with it.

In Honor of Ice Storms

It's beautiful out today, even if it is cold and bad driving weather. The ice storm from yesterday afternoon and evening coated all the trees with ice and icicles, and everything looks like it's been frosted over. I hate cold, but the way it looks outside right now almost makes me change my mind.

At any rate, I was reading in my devotions this morning, and came across this Psalm, and I thought it particularly appropriate, and therefore I am posting it here.

How great is our God!

Psalm 147:12-20 (also, the whole rest of the Psalm is amazing.. :))
Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!
For He has strengthened the bars of your gates; He has blessed your sons within you.
He makes peace in your borders; He satisfies you with the finest of the wheat.
He sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs very swiftly.
He gives snow like wool; He scatters frost like ashes.
He casts forth His ice as fragments; Who can stand before His cold?
He sends forth His word and melts them; He causes His winds to blow and the waters to flow.
He declares His words to Jacob, His statutes and ordinances to Israel.
He has not dealt thus with any nation; And as for His ordinances, they have not known them.
Praise the Lord!

Valentime's day

Adam's parents are in town for the weekend, they got in last night.

Adam and I did a bit of V-day celebrating early, this past Monday; we got take out from Panera, bought a season of The Office, and stayed in. It snowed quite a bit that night, and it was Adam's first "real" snow. We had lots of slush the next morning... whee!

Jack (my boston terrier) loved the snow. When we let our dogs out Tuesday morning, he went crazy. Sally, being a priss, didn't want to play, but Jack ran around and around anyway, and then started eating snow.

The snow is mostly melted, but the temperature's warmed and then dropped, so the snow melted and then froze over, so it was mostly ice. Which is not good, for a person of my precarious balancing capability. However, now it's mostly melted into slush, which is better.

At any rate, I'm signing off.
