June 14th, 2000

Yesterday was really significant. I soaked it all in and savored it for myself and the LOVE of my life. On June 14th, of 2000 I received Jesus as my savior and surrendered my life to Him for His use. I become restless because I long to be with Him. He has redeemed me, cleansed me, removed my sins, sacrificed, and taught me really hard lessons. I praise Him because He knows me. Every bit. I praise Him because He holds my future. Click HERE to hear a song of praise to Him.

Phil Wickham:

You wrote a letter and You signed Your name  I read ever word Read it page by page       You said that You’d be coming  Coming for me soon  Oh my God I’ll be ready for You   Chorus: (‘Cause) I want to run on greener pastures       I want to dance on higher hills      I want to drink from sweeter waters       In the misty morning chill        And my soul is getting restless      For the place where I belong       I can’t wait to join the angels and sing my heaven song   Verse 2:  I hear Your voice and I catch my breath  Well done my child enter in, in rest  As tears of joy roll down my cheek         Oh it’s beautiful beyond my wildest dreams  Chorus x2    

Guatemala

In the Winter of 2009 a group of my very dear friends went on a mission trip to Guatemala to serve for a week at an orphanage. I have been longing to go to there with the church since the year BEFORE my group of friends went and I am praying to be able to go there this January. Please pray for this opportunity along with me. 

I will leave you with a few photos that I have stolen from Jenny

 H's photo albums. 

M90X

Momma always said that the truth will set you free. So, here it comes!!! I have lost 6 pounds in 3 weeks with P90X. I think I should have done MUCH better than that but I'm having trouble taming my sweet tooth (sweets aren't allowed for 90 days and I have indulged more than twice). This week I was pretty fed up with working out in my little 5X8 space in front of the T.V. in my apartment living room. I just HAD to go for a run. Well, this has officially unleashed my love for running again (the Lord deserves a shout of "glory") so this is what I have decided. I am no longer going to be following the P90X plan. I am tweaking it to fit my running needs (runner's high is true ya know?) but maintaining 6 workouts per week. I will keep up with the weights/resistance workouts as scheduled but instead of using their cardio plan I will stick with my San Antonio Marathon Training. This calls for a total renaming of my new workout regimen. It's now called M90X. Marathon90X. X meaning "Extreme" and to "Bring It" I'm bringing it all right. Right to the starting line of the San Antonio Rock'N Roll on November 15th.I'll try real hard to stick with the P90X eating plan too! I'm feeling great! 

Wordless Wednesday: my old friend Jenna HA!

Ain't Nothin'...

There ain't nothin' like a bubble bath after a long day.

There ain't nothin' like a good hard run.

There ain't nothin' like a rainy day watching movies with Kyle.

...Like laughing until you cry

...Like a snow cone :)

...Like helping others

...Like being with friends and family

...Like sipping on some coffee that's full of Coffee Mate French Vanilla creamer

Just wanted to share some things that there "Ain't nothing like". I was inspired after a 2 mile run this morning (running is not on the P90X workout plan but I just HAD to put my shoes on and go!) What's "ain't nothin' like" to you?
