Last week we celebrated Hubster's 40th bday... We went to dinner at Texas Land & Cattle and he had himself a man's steak!
Of which, the boy ate almost 1/3 of... LOL
Then we had dessert at his mom's house - didn't get a pic of the carrot cake from J.Alexander's or the chocolate spice cake from Tiago's... trust me, they were unbelievable!
This past weekend we went to dinner to celebrate one of my BFF's birthday and I remembered to ask someone to take our picture, since I alway seem to forget to do that... lol
Happy Birthday to my wonderful hubster!
I Thank God Everday for creating you and for joining us together to get thru this life. I love you!
Exactly 10 days ago, I rolled my right foot stepping off a curb. It didn't swell as I expected it to and within a few days, it didn't hurt much at all. Four days later I went for a 2.5 mile run in my hood and it felt a little sore after that so I stayed off of it for the rest of the week. One week later, on Saturday, it felt alright, so I decided to complete the shortest route of 5 miles that was open for our running group. Again, I finished feeling OK, not great, but OK.
LQ & I spent a beautifully fine day with my oldest daughter in Austin and went hiking along one of the greenbelts. :)
We had a great day together - hiking, eating, swimming & even got to watch a movie at her apartment. LQ and I got home pretty late but very blessed that we made the trip. F was a spectacular hostess <3
*****
I woke up Sunday morning and my right foot was not doing the happy dance! The greenbelt was a very rocky trail. My foot hurt. A.Lot! I seriously need to rest it. One week was not enough. I've got a pretty busy marathon/half-marathon calendar for the Fall/Winter season and I would hate to miss any of it :( First marathon is in 12 weeks...
So, for the next 2-4 weeks, I am going to rest my foot. I will commit to a swim, bike and yoga schedule at the gym and resist the urge to put these asphalt-kickers on my feet...
Psa 16:8-10
"I have set the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay."
I must rest and trust that this desire to run marathons and half-marathons will not go unfulfilled. This is not only a physical activity for me but an opportunity to show what He has physically done in me.
I can't believe what she said I can't believe what he did Oh, don't they know it's wrong Don't they know it's wrong, yeah Maybe there's something I missed But how could they treat me like this It's wearing out my heart The way they disregard
This is love, this is hate We all have a choice to make
Oh, Father won't You forgive them They don't know what they've been doing Oh Father, give me grace to forgive them Cause I feel like the one losing
It's only the dead that can live But still I wrestle with this To lose the pain that's mine Seventy times seven times, yeah Lord it doesn't feel right For me to turn a blind eye Though I guess it's not that much When I think of what You've done
This is love, this is hate We gotta a choice to make
Oh Father won't You forgive them They don't know what they've been doing Oh Father, give me grace to forgive them Cause I feel like the one losing, oh no
Why do we think that hate's gonna change the heart We're up in arms over wars that don't need to be fought Pride won't let us lay weapons on the ground We build our bridges up but just to burn them down We think pain is owed an apology and then it'll stop Truth be told it doesn't matter if we're sorry or not Freedom comes when we surrender to the sound Of Your mercy and Your grace, Father, send Your angels down
Oh Father wont You forgive them They don't know what they've been doing, oh no Oh Father, give me grace to forgive them Cause I feel like the one losing Yeah, I feel like I've been losing
Oh Father, give me grace to forgive them Cause I feel like the one losing I feel like I've been losing
Oh Father, give me grace to forgive them Cause I feel like the one losing
I'm preparing this week for a women's bible study... This is my prayer...
Jesus, friend of sinners
We have strayed so far away
We cut down people in Your name
But the sword was never ours to swing
Jesus, friend of sinners
The truth’s become so hard to see
The world is on their way to You
But they’re tripping over me
Always looking around but never looking up
I’m so double minded
A plank-eyed saint with dirty hands
And a heart divided
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners
Open our eyes to the world
At the end our pointing fingers
Let our hearts be led by mercy
Help us reach with open hearts and open doors
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners
Break our hearts for what breaks Yours
Jesus, friend of sinners
The One whose writing in the sand
Made the righteous turn away
And the stones fall from their hands
Help us to remember
We are all the least of these
Let the memory of Your mercy
Bring Your people to their knees
Nobody knows what we’re for
Only what we’re against
When we judge the wounded
What if we put down our signs
Crossed over the lines
And loved like You did
You love every lost cause
You reach for the outcast
For the leper and the lame
They’re the reason that You came
Lord, I was that lost cause
And I was the outcast
But You died for sinners just like me
A grateful leper at Your feet
‘Cause You are good
You are good
And Your love endures forever
And I was the lost cause
And I was the outcast
You died for sinners just like me
A grateful leper at Your feet
