- I have continued running with new vigor. Today I ran 3 miles straight for the first time and finished in 28 minutes! I already have my 4 mile route planned for tomorrow. God is calling me to make working out a worshipful experience instead of purely competitive or for weight loss. I am enjoying exploring this new form of worship...even when I can't breath. I've also got a running buddy on Sundays who motivates me to keep going throughout the week...though she doesn't know that yet.
- I am involved in a Beth Moore study, "The Beloved Disciple," with mostly other military wives. It is a study on the Disciple John and we're only on week 1 but I am already totally digging it :-) Already God is showing me images of Jesus through John's eyes that make him more real. She asked us to describe how Jesus might have appeared to the disciples after the first few days with him and the word that came to me that was most meaningful was "touchable." It has been a while since I have really been able to think of Jesus as a real man and someone that isn't far away.
- This Thursday will be my first day as a volunteer at Compassion Pregnancy Center . It is a faith based organization that provides counseling and clinical services to women that are pregnant or that have had abortions. There are a number of possibilities for me here including office lacky, counselor, and speaker at the local high schools. I may not be able to actually counsel or speak while I'm here but I'm hoping to get the training. I am unsure of God's plan here but I am really excited about being involved!
And the most beautiful of all.....
ME IN A WETSUIT! hahahaha
I miss you friends!
I'm so glad you are in a study and found a place to volunteer. Transition is just hard. Hang in there!! Love and miss you.
