A Friend by Any Other Name

Just as iron sharpens iron, friends sharpen the minds of each other. ~ Proverbs 27:17
Today I am struggling.
Yesterday I had plenty of ideas for blog posts and stories to tell.
Today my word well is dry.

In a Pig’s Eye… or Perhaps at Hogeye

During the past 24 hours, I’ve added a new twist to my training plan… Another goal to my list.

It looks like I’ll be running a half marathon in March. The Hogeye Marathon in Fayetteville, Arkansas. March 29, 2015.

Say WHAT???

It isn’t as radical of a goal as it might sound.

On second thought…

Clearing Out the Fluff

Today was Day One of a new workout program… but before I could begin my workout, I spent 15 minutes clearing a space in what is supposedly a dedicated “workout room”.

Next on my agenda was to do a little writing…. but my laptop battery was dead. I pulled out an extra laptop that belongs to an organization I work for, and… I couldn’t find my mouse.

Are you seeing a pattern yet?

One Next Step

“Sometimes God doesn’t flash your future in front of your eyes in grand schemes. Sometimes He shows you one next step.” ~ Mary DeMuth

The most important thing is to take that next step — even if I’m unsure of where it leads. Even if it seems weird.

Even if I end up traipsing behind the rest of the herd…

Who is My Tribe?

Perhaps my tribe is made up of people who need a friend. A friend who understands their struggles with health and life and staying the course… and is willing to listen to them and share her heart and pray for them.
