on Saturday Zach and I ran in the Two Sisters One Heart charity run, I did the 5k and Zach did the 10k, Zach was 4th in the whole 10k group! I was slow but came in 2nd in my age group 40-44, of course there were only 6 of us in that group, but 2nd isn't bad out of 6 right?!! LOL I think 80-90 people ran the 5k that I ran, it was a lot of fun and so touching, the event was ran so smoothly and you could tell there was a lot of love :) Zach ran to the finish line with me and Jim became the photographer of the family :) oh and I am down 8 pounds now! Jim is doing sooo good, he has lost around 25 pounds! GO JIM!!!
Here is our Valentines day picture (thanks guys for posing with me!)
I am still waiting for my results, I went to have a bigger area removed from my shoulder last Wednesday since they found abnormal cells after the mole removal, they really took a lot out of my shoulder area, I get my stitches out next Wed and should have the results back by then. Pray for me, its' a little scary dealing with this stuff, I am a big worrier but God has calmed me down regarding all this and has let me worry about other areas in my life ;)
Lots going on, track is back in full swing, Jim and I work all the meets and it's a busy busy time for us, my garden needs to be turned so I can start planting, the weeds are starting to pop up and there are new shrubs, trees and flowers that are calling my name at the nursery that I am wanting to buy, I have so many sewing projects that are 1/2 done, new ones I want to start, plus my sweet friend Angela has taught me how to crochet a little and I am learning to embroider also, like I really need another craft/hobby :) I have outgrown my little craft room and dont' really have the time or money to start another one but yet I do find more to start :) I figure when Zach leaves the nest (I hope not for a long, long time) but this will all keep me busy with a part time job or something :)
Verse for today that I was led to
1st Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV)
(18) give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
You rock! I'm so proud of you for running and coming in 2nd! and Zach for placing 4th! I can just imagine the feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction! Congratulations on the 8lbs too!
You know, I'm still praying for you. He is so good! You are in His hands and He will never let you go. Sometimes, it is very hard to wait, knowing that sometimes our Abba says "no" or "in a minute" to our requests. I've been there, done that and we can make it through sister!
In awe of all you're doing and confident that He Who began a good work in you, is showing the world you're living it!
lots of hugs!
