Wow..it's been a long time since I have actually written a blog. It's time. In election news...we didn't win :-( However, we did get 35% of the vote and for only having 53 days to campaign I don't think that that's bad at all. I talked to my dad right after he found out that he lost and asked him if he was okay and he said.."I'm fine baby, it's just sad for the kids." That statement right there is exactly why we need a man like him in office. His campaign manager is already telling him that he doesn't have a choice but to run again...I think he will.
In personal news, I am in a transition period in my life. I'm letting go of some things that I need to and some things that I have to and I gotta admit that it feels pretty scary. See, I like to 'figure things out'. I like to know exactly what's going to happen next and those of you who know my Jesus know that that is not the way He usually works. He just keeps asking me to trust Him and I'm trying...but trust isn't easy for me. I know that the key to this time in my life is to take every thought captive and to control my emotions but that seems like a full time job right now! I am moving forward every day and surprisingly I have a good amount of joy through it all. That is one of my favorite promises to us as Christians...joy despite our circumstances.
I'm still training for the 5k. Not doing as much as I should I feel like but am making progress none the less. I am loving the fact that I have actually started seeing some definition in my arms and legs...bathing suit season here I come!
