Time
Time passes so quickly. I have thought about this blog quite a few times since I last updated it and for some reason just couldn't sit down and type. There seemed to be something else to do, something else that has come up. So I do apologized to anyone out there that was reading this.
Life
Life has been good. J and I have been running quite a lot and our times and distances have gotten better. Who would have thought that when I started running outside with J that I would want to run 6+ miles on a Saturday morning (a chilly 32 degree morning). But it's become a stress reliever of sorts just knowing that I get out of the gym and can enjoy the out of doors doing something that I have come to love. We actually ran our 1st official 10k 2 weeks ago and to say that "racing" wasn't mentally or physically challenging is an understatement. The hills about did us in. And I think that I realized that I love to run but I'm not much on the racing end of running. For a good cause, I will run a race, but just to better my time or do it just because so is not something that works for me personally. So I think that our races will be few and far between. Work for both of us is stressful at times and we've come to realize that it's part of work. But at the end of the day, we go to the gym, run or work it off and go home and relax. My mother came up and visited us at Christmas and we had a wonderful time. Even though she wore me out! That has been life as of recently.
Faith
Thursday night a heavy rain came through our area (12 hours worth of it). And our roof started to leak. And when I mean leak I mean that water was coming in through our light fixture in our hallway. SCARY! Thank goodness God blew the rain through a little quicker than was expected. Friday morning of course I called a roofer to come over and take a look at it and called the insurance company. And as anyone knows the insurance company can take a few days to send someone out (Monday supposedly). The roofer did come by Friday afternoon to take a look. And it's another case of nails popping up and rain/water coming in. He is supposed to come back Monday morning to tarp/fix the area or nails before it starts raining again. But wouldn't you know the rain is supposed to start Sunday night now! So now I'm really freaking out. To the point of J and I went to get tarps today and he put some up over the areas of concern this afternoon. But I'm still worried. This is where the faith part comes into play. I know that I need to let God handle this. We've done what we need to do here, and he's got to take care of the rest. That's what faith is. But there are some times where I just get nervous and can't help myself. So please pray for me specifically to have faith and to give it over to the Lord and that he will calm my fears. Also, pray that the tarps do their job for the time being and we don't have the flood of 2013 in our house.
Again sorry for the lack of updates. I am so going to try better.
Blessings & Faith,
Magnolia
