Life update!

Yesterday I went on a hour and ten min. run! It was soooo good. Something that I have been praying for lately is that God will open my eyes, heart, and ears to what he has to say to me or show me. So my little rule for myself is not to wear my ipod while I run 1.)Because if I am with someone else I want to talk with them and get to know them and 2.)If I am by myself I want to open my self up to God and just be in his nature and glory…im not saying my music is bad, its just nice to set apart time for quiet too. So going on this crazy run I start to sing out loud while I am running (all praise music) just because its nice and it works on my lung capacity but im sure that if someone saw me running they probably laughed out loud to see this random girl running and singing off tune and out of breath but anyways… so I sang for a while and then started just talking out loud to Him and man was that crazy too. I begin thanking God for all the things in my life and I realized I could keep this up running everyday for long periods of time and thanking God for things and never run out of things to be thankful for!! Heres an example to get you started thinking about it…so while im on my run im thinking thank your for legs to run, and lungs that work, and roads to run on, and great weather to run in and beautiful scenery to see, and cows, and agriculture, and farmers, and people in general, and people at Capernwray and the opportunity to be here and the list goes on and on and on. You get the picture ☺. And then I remembered that yes I can thank Him for everything now but I most importantly have to remember to thank him when times are hard. That’s the big challenge. Hmm what else here? OH! It is finally spring! Officially on September 1st. the sun is shining as I type! Amen for that! Alright More coming later...love you all, keep praying :)
