Music City Marathon

So tonight I'm going a meeting about walking a 1/2 marathon on April 30th. We have 3 months to train cause I'm WAY to out of shape to do it now.

Why you ask? Because I'm tired of not doing things that will challenge me. It's going to be entertaining if nothing else. I'm kind of excited about crossing the finish line. I just hope I can afford it.

Jesus--I'm going to need your help!!! :)

Psalm 24:4-5

Show me the path where I should walk, Oh Lord, point out the right road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.

there's a LOT in those two verses....

Prayer

~Jennifer Knapp~Refine Me

I come into this place
Burning to receive your grace
I come with my own chains
Wars I fought for my own selfish gain...

You're my God and my Father
I've accepted your son
But my soul feels so empty now
What have I become

Lord, come with your fire
burn my desire
Refine me
Lord, my will has deceived me
Please come and free me
Refine me

My heart can see
When I only think of me
My heart can hear
When I only think of my own fear

And their gone in a moment
You're forever the same
Why did I turn away from you
How can I speak your name?

Lord, come with your fire
Burn my desires
Refine me
Lord my will has deceived me
Please come and free
Come rescue your child
For I long to be reconciled to you....

Happy New Year

Well..It's 2005. I'm ready for it. 2004 had its rough moments, but it's fun to look back and know that God has brought me through many rough patches.

I didn't do much for New Year's...Which was kind of nice. I had a few things I could have done...Actually 3 different events to choose from, but nah. I had just returned from Christmas in MI and needed some down time. By Sunday evening, the 2nd, I was ready to do something...But still ended up at home.

This week I don't have any evening plans, but everyone should be coming back to town so that'll make the evenings go by faster.

I saw my brother on Christmas. They actually let us talk for 45 minutes. Usually it's 20. It was good to see him, but he was having a bad day so it was hard at the same time. He has a mohawk, which I find VERY entertaining! He's always wanted one and mom never let him. I'm realizing more and more my mom has a thing w/ hair...it's kind of hard to explain. Usually people could care less what their kids do with their hair....After all, it's just hair. Not my mom. She's weird about hair....Even when I was home my hair was however she wanted it...Or she had to approve it. After I was in college for a year, I came home and dyed my hair black (it was one of those wash out ones) and she flipped out...It washed out! Anyway...My mom is quirky and I'm still learning about it.

There are a lot more stories....I'll forever treasure my time with my family.
