1.7

I increased my jogging distance...or more so, the Lord gave me the ability to progress in my jogging endeavor. Instead of 1 mile, which i have successfully jogged twice, once this semester and once last semester, i was able to jog 1.7 miles. (and truth be told, i think i could have gone longer, but where i was in relation to where i wanted/needed to end at, well...that would not have been a timely endeavor so i decided to cut my losses and end the jog short. next time though :) It felt so good! i finally know how to breathe properly and i know how to stay at a pace, more importantly, i can now see the difference between my limit and my laziness!

Prayer Request:
Please pray with me that i would keep my priorities straight and that the Lord would create in me a studious, lover-of-learning mind set. I would also ask that i can remain focused and on task.

Life is crazy, but im loving what the Lord has been teaching me lately. He really challenged me a couple weeks ago. He showed me that i was not remaining focused on Him, and that in my heart, i was not complete in Him. WOW!!! talk about a smack in the face :) You see, i guess i had begun to believe that my life would be in limbo until "the man of my dreams" came into my life. The very thought that i have rejected verbally for so long was finding its way into my heart and mind and it was time to give it to the Lord. It was difficult to work through, but I truly believe that I am complete in Him. One thing to remember, this is a process. its not over, the world is full of lies, satan likes to throw them at us as we grow closer to the Lord in order to trip us up. It's the battle of mind. 2 Corinthians 10:5 is just the truth that we all need, it displays the action we need to take in order to cling to the truth of God.
"We DESTROY arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and TAKE EVERY THOUGHT CAPTIVE TO OBEY CHRIST."

September update

i should do a real post soon, as for now though, just wanted to update yall on a lil recent decision making.
It looks like i will be home for Thanksgiving Break, alas, Christmas Break does not look promising. I think im supposed to stay in FL for this winter....if it changes i will let you know, other then that, VA will have me for a week :)
But im excited cause my Sister Kimmy and baby niece Venice will be in town over thanksgiving break! i havent seen my sister in 6+ years, this is LONG over due!

Also, My brother Zach is in Iraq, as some of you know already. Thank you wonderful church family who have been praying for him. Im proud of him for this amazing opportunity that the Lord is blessing him with and entrusting him in the Lord's hands just as i have been entrusting Jimmy, my other brother who is in Afghanistan.

God is Good!!!

Blessings and New things

The Lord is the Provider!

Just before i left for Florida the Lord provided a car for me.

Britt and I set off August 6th. twas an eventful trip. We broke down in Atlanta, spent the night with some old friends of mine from Global while the car was being fixed, then drove the last leg of the trip the next day. I enjoyed showing Britt round Graceville, then she helped us decorate the dorm and such. Monday she flew home from ATL. Twas an insane day, i almost fell asleep behind the wheel...thank you McCafe for saving my life!

many things have happened in the last 3-4 weeks of being here. including prankin some boys who live off campus. Going out to Frozen Yogart. Hangin out with church ppl. movies at frineds house. classes, working out with a "personal trainer", and went skeet shooting again, and as of recently, my besti was here from Ft. Lauderdale. We went to the Botanicle Gardens and did a phot shoot. twas great, we were in our fanciest dresses. Tye-dyed t-shirts and did this awesome art project. we got plagues from walmart and i had a sodering iron that we used to burn an image in the wood. rather exciting, didnt think i had gotten any bit of my mom's creative bone. but i think i did.
