I can honestly say that this year has started off wonderfully!!! The kids and I brought in the new year watching the Dick Clark show waiting for the ball to drop and enjoying homemade chocolate dipped strawberries and chilled Sparkling White Grape Juice...doesn't get any better does it? LOL!
Well, in all things Christ is to be given all the glory for my light heart and overflowing cup. I feel as if it is very important to live my life this year on PURPOSE. Webster's Dictionary defines purpose as a desired goal; an intention...My Pastor said it best, "Either you will go through this life by design or by default." So either way we have to get through this life, why not have a plan.
Last year each person in my family reached a developmental point in age...Me, I turned 30, my son turned 13, and babygirl is now 3...How awesome to see how we have all transformed and grown. We are definitely closer and have learned to adapt to each ones personality. Now it is time to develop some structure...my son gives it one to two months and then all heck to break loose again, but I determined that some things are set in stone: dinner time and all of eat at the table, laundry once a week, cleaning rooms...
My first "on purpose" action is to complete the Georgia Half Marathon in March in Atlanta. I completed my first half marathon in 2009 and after last years mountain highs and valley lows; I feel that this is a great way to get back to me...hence, the name of this blog: Running Back 2 Him.
I love running in the early morning. I feel as if I am receiving favor to hear nature waking up, the rhythm of my sneakers as they hit the asphalt, and a quietness in my spirit. There are not many thoughts running through my head at 5a and God speaks so clearly to me even through the music that I listen to as I run.
Well, I am off to sleep 4:30 sure comes early and this year is all about purpose and structure, so bedtime is 7mins past due...
GOOD NITE ALL...
