My runs are very spiritual and give me time in my crazy and hectic life to reflect on life and love, family, friends, balance, and what I am giving to others. How I am reaching out? I hope I am doing so in some small ways through my teaching, students, neighbors, friends, and community, but I definitely fail more than I succeed. I pick myself up, dust myself off, ask for mercy, and move forward.
Having had two children, loving and being loved, seeing the work of God's love in my own life and the lives of others, and witnessing the miracles of our natural world, it's hard not to believe in God. Here is a sampling of some of my favorite songs at the moment:
- I'm not alright - Sanctus Real
- Word of God Speak - MercyMe
- reminds me to talk less and listen more especially as God often speaks through others. - Presence (My Heart's Desire) - Newsboys
- Free - Shawn McDonald- I LOVE when this comes on during a run when I really do feel free.
- Sound of Melodies - Leeland
I'm off to run at Pandapas.
