Running...

Over the last school year I've decided to take up running again, something I did a lot of in high school but not so much since college. After talking to Li (a beloved friend and experienced runner) I have realized that running is my "sport." Running is great; it doesn't require a lot of coordination nor any talent whatsoever. And the best part is that it's something that I can actually get better at! I love it!

Tonight Heidi and I decided to go out together for a run--in the snow! It was such a blast! It was great to get out and for the first time in a while actually enjoy the snow. It was great feeling the snow fall around us, and seeing it lying beautifully on the ground as we ran leaving our hurried footprints behind.
When we got back from our run we decided to play in snow…hence the silly picture on the snow pile! :)

Nothing Like Bonding....

...by running around and fighting over chairs! 3rd floor has 4 new faces and to welcome them tonight we played musical chairs down the length of the hallway to a "Popular" song. :) It was fun especially when the "competitive" spirits came out in everyone. haha!

this one is for my sweet friend leah! happy birthday! LOVE YOU! enjoy ALL your presents!

Welcome Back?

I'm back here at school and this semester is already proving to be a challenge. Philippians 4:4&6 are familiar verses but have been of a particular comfort to me these last few days.

"Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice...do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God."

How good the Lord is to hear our prayers and so faithfully answer them. Thank you to all of you who were praying. I am sincerely grateful.
