Run This Year 2014

Some may have seen the crazy thing I posted earlier this week on Facebook…. “Run 2014 miles in 2014.  Who’s with me?”  (You may have also noticed it’s the only thing I’ve posted this week—-I deleted Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter off my phone this week to be more intentional with my boys.  My apologies if […]

Christmas Cards. A Blubbering Mess. Adoption.

I am a mail junkie.  There you go.  Confession just from the very beginning let’s get it out there.  It’s the first thing I do upon arriving home every afternoon.  If I am home when the mail lady comes–I go straight out to check it.  Some (like the hubs) may call it an addiction.  I […]

December and a few things on my heart…

December. December 3rd at that. Last time I wrote a blog post was June 21.  Not sure how that happened.  Actually well I do.  In the life as a Youth Pastor–Summer is well Mission Trips, SUMMER SCHEDULE, Summer Camp, then Fall…trying to catch your breath.  This Fall didn’t exactly present that for me this year–but […]

My Running Story

To start this story–I need to go back-way back.  Running is in my genes.  Growing up both my parents were runners  (I recently found a race shirt of my mom’s from 1986—and have been wearing it around the house!)  I joined the track team in the 7th grade and I will never forget the day […]

Boston: as a newbie runner & the fight against fear

Boston.  It is one of those moments that you will forever remember exactly where you were sitting when it happened.  I was in a coffee shop with a friend that had just returned from the mission field.  Her back was to the tv screen and I had to interrupt her and say I am so […]
