And then it rained :)

I love the rain most of the time. The way it just kind of relaxes you, and makes for a really good night sleep. They way it cools everything off, even for just a moment. The smell it has, just refreshing. When I was a little girl, I would sit in the window with my Grandma and watch it rain. I would get so excited because the birdies would come. Let me explain. When the rain hits the pavement it bounces back up and over kind of like a check mark. Well to a little girl, it looked like little birdies that you draw on your paper, two little curve marks. You know what I am talking about. Well, if you don't, the next time it rains hard, look out on the pavement and use your imagination. It is lots of fun :)

Okay, so, I have been walking again in the mornings. It has been nice to get back into a routine again, especially one when you know the Lord has put it together for you and just fits. Anyway, I got up this morning and it had been raining all day yesterday and during the night, but had stopped, so I walked. About half way through my walk the rain came , not hard enough to see my duckies, but hard enough that I was soaked. It was like a healing rain. The transforming kind, like you see in the movies. Everything is going wrong for that person, then it rains, and now things pick up and the person can smile again because they now have hope. Well that is how I felt this morning walking in the rain. I am climbing out of the hole I have been in , the dirt has been cleaned off, and now all you see is the sparkling and refreshed princess! It was an exciting time with the Lord this morning and I am excited about what He is going to do in me and through me today!

Good Morning!

It is freezing cold out but so refreshing. I changed up my walking routine because I ran into a man on a walk and it concerned me so I am walking a different direction. The good thing is that I am now getting in about 2.2 miles and I have to walk up a big hill. This is definitely working some extra muscles, but that is okay. I have even started jogging a little to increase my heart rate and feel my fat giggle a little :D Hey, if I don't laugh at myself, who will right. Anyway, I am so thankful I have this time to get out and walk with my Lord Jesus. My time with Him in the morning is like no other time I have ever had with Him. I was a bit distracted at first because of the cold, but once I got going I found His presence to warm me up and I was able to keep going. Last week I walked three days and so my goal this week is to walk four days. Tomorrow will be four so I am very excited!

Walking with the Lord

Today starts a new routine! I am tired of having nothing to wear and I hate going shopping. So after not wanting to listen to the Lord for about a week now He finally got my attention. This morning I walked around my block twice which is about two miles. It was so refreshing and peaceful and quiet and yes, cold too. There was not a soul moving this morning when I was walking and I was able to see three deer too. If you want some quiet time with the Lord where He can renew your strength then walk with Him first thing in the morning. It is exciting for me to think the Lord wants to spend time with me and He keeps getting me up earlier and earlier to do this. I was up just before 4:00 am this morning and I can't wait to see how He is going to get me through my day. I am excited to see what the Lord is going to do in my life through this new routine. I know this much, I was at a complete peace this morning while I was walking with Him and I am ready to walk with Him again tomorrow morning!
