I'm so happy! So far my jogging is going great. I have only missed one day. Yesterday i took some Benadryl for my pollen allergy, and was pretty much out for the rest of the day. I really think the break did me good though. Today i was able to run farther and didn't lose my breath as easily. Jogging for me is a great way to clear my mind and relax. There has been a lot on my mind over the last couple of weeks so that has been especially nice.



This Saturday will be yet another Stafford wedding. This particular wedding has been greatly anticipated by all. I am so excited that Hanna found such a wonderful man to marry. I think Ben will be a great addition to our family. It's so exciting to watch our family grow! It won't be long until the talks begin about who will be getting married next. It's hard to believe that the last wedding was two and a half years ago. So much has happened over those two and a half years...

I can't wait to see all of my siblings and niece and nephews! It's just a bummer that it's going to be such a short trip for everyone.

running

i'm not sure what made me start, but i am now jogging daily .i mean i have for the last four days. i don't go far, but it's so much fun. i just put my ipod on, turn up the music nice and loud, and run. when i get tired and think i can't take it anymore i set a goal. i tell myself, if you can just make it to that sign, or tree, or whatever then you can stop. yesterday while i was running and thought i couldn't go any further i told myself that i was a rock-star! i cracked myself up so much over that that i almost face-planted on the sidewalk. it was so funny!!! i really hope no one was watching me. my goal is to run at least a little every day until my sisters wedding (april 10). After that i will probably set another goal, but for now i am liking the short-term goals. i'll keep you posted on how it goes. =)

PHIL STACEY - You´re Not Shaken

I am sinking in the river that is raging
I am drowning
Will I ever, rise to breathe again
I wanna know why
I just wanna understand
Will I ever know why?
How could this be from Your hand?

/Chorus/
When every little thing that I have dreamed would be just slips away like water through my hands
And when it seems the walls of my beliefs are crashing down like they’re all made of sand
I won’t, let go of You now
because I know, oh, You’re not shaken

I am trembling in the darkness of my own fear
All the questions with no answers
So grip me while I’m here
And I may never know why
Oh I may not understand
But I will lift up my eyes,
and trust this is Your plan

/Chorus/

When I am in the valley
of the shadow of death

You’re not shaken
You’re not shaken

You're right here beside me and
You have never left

You're not shaken
You're not shaken
