Waiting…

I will wait for you Lord.  I will wait for you my husband, my Jonathan.

^{Psalm 130:5-6} 

Wish I was as talented as she is at expressing it.

I can’t get this verse out of my head…

“And this is my prayer:  That your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness, that comes through Jesus Christ — to the glory and praise of God.”

Philippians 1:9-11

This verse has everything in it.  Everything I hope to be complete in.  And all through my relationship with Christ and all for the glory and praise of God.

I always knew Philippians was my favorite book of the Bible.  🙂

I ran 13.2 miles in 2 hours and 5 mins. I rock!

 Thank you very much!!!  It was wonderful.  Rather windy, but no rain.  Ana ran with Nate and I as well and that was great. Nate is the most considerate and giving running partner a girl could ask for.  Thanks kid!

The overview:

*The starting line.

* We started out at the front.  The first wave that passed didn’t bother me,  but the second and third made me a little sad.

* Mile 6 feeling a little pukey

* Mile 6.5  feeling much better, even got a second wind.

* Mile 8 seeing the depressingly fast people already on their way back to
the finish line.
* Mile 11….this is getting hard.  I CAN make it.

 * Mile 12 “Come on Amy. We should sprint it.”  Yeah right!

* Mile 12.5 “Come on Amy.  Just to the finish.”  Yeah we should….but I can’t.

 

* Last 100 yards….sprinting would be an overstatement.  But faster, yes.

I DID IT!   I didn’t stop running!  I’m not dead!  My foot hurt the whole time, but even that was okay.

I’m happy!

Thanks for all your encouragement!  Nate you are my hero. I couldn’t have done it without you. And especially thanks to Sara whose put up with me talking about running incessantly for months.  🙂

Why go to school? Just watch Aladdin!

A seriously wonderful day.      Lovely and simple fields of tulips today.  Enjoyed with two incredible people.  Then the Donut House *scrum-diddly-umcious*  When we got home Sara and I went tanning.  If you haven’t experienced it, I can’t explain how wonderful it is.
Now Sara and I are laying around the house.  Watched “What a Girl Wants” (Amanda Bynes is just a touch skanky in that movie.  In my personal opinion) Then just changed it to “Aladdin”  Quite possibly my favorite Disney movie.  “The Little Mermaid” is way up there too.  But Aladdin was the only Disney movie I owned growing up, thanks to my brother Matt sending it to me for Christmas one year.  Needless to say…I watched it quite a bit.  I still practically have it memorized.  As Sara and I were watching it I was telling her all the things (mostly vocab words) I learned from the movie.   
From Aladdin I learned
-the word ‘pungent’
-what a ‘suitor’ is
-what ‘fertilizer’ is
-what a ‘diamond in the rough’ is literally and what they meant in the movie
-what a bird ‘molting’ is.
**Fascinating I know.
Sara was of course absolutely amazed by all this and remarked “Wow!  I’m surprised you even had to go to school after watching ‘Aladdin’ so many times.”   —isn’t she just so witty. 

Now Stephen’s coming over and I think we’re going to watch “Balto.”  Supposedly it’s a classic.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before.  But I’m sure I’ll enjoy it.

Yea rah! for weekends!

I’m so excited about tomorrow.  My mind has been reeling with the wonder and glory of Resurrection Sunday!  I can’t wait to officially celebrate it tomorrow.  Hear my lovely best friend sing.  Then we are going to go eat at Olive Garden.  And see “Repo Men”  I know Easter and ‘Repo Men’  don’t really fit together.  But as neither of us have family in the area we are making special arrangements.  I can’t wait till tomorrow and proclaiming one of my favorite phrases!  Can you guess what it is?
