Stirred

This weekend at Summit we began a new series entitled "Stirred", journeying through the (fabulous) book of Ezra. If you would like to listen to Orlando's message, click here, or for Jamin, here...

I'm so excited to see how God will stir in His people at Summit during this series, I know He's stirring in me a greater desire to be led by His Spirit, and I know He's already doing that in some of my friends too!

Join us, would you?

oh yea, good to be back blogging! :)

Can I be a runner!?

A few MONTHS ago I blogged about wanting to lose weight. I never really did it, and really, I gained even more. LAAAAAAME.

Last week I decided I was going to become a runner. Yep, just decided. I "ran" using my Wii fit for 10 minutes one day, and then decided to run the (small, but still!!) bridge by my house (for a total of about 1.2 miles) the next day...BIG DIFFERENCE!

Then, I downloaded a (free, holla!) app on my phone to track my "running stats" -- time, distance, pace, calories burned, route, etc... I ran 16 minutes straight my first day outside, and 17 minutes the next day which was tracked as 1.46 miles.

In the next 3o days I'd like to get up to running 30 minutes straight and signing up for my first 5K. I CAN do it. :) Anyone want in?

Bff

This past weekend (4.25.10), my beloved bff married the man God made for her. It was such a joy to watch it be her turn! Katie has been my bff for 6 years and over those years we've shared countless laughs, incredible experiences, lengthy discussions and made millions of memories. I cherish our friendship so highly and it's a huge way God works in my life. I'm constantly learning from her example as a godly woman and I'm so grateful she is now a wife because I know I will glean much wisdom from her walking next to me in that way! The way God worked in her life to bring her Luis was a blessing to witness and definite proof of His provision and timing.

Katie, I love you immensely and wish the very best for you and my bff-in-law!

I've put together a mini slide show of us over the years. Prepare to laugh...and if you're me, cry.
