Kids: recent birthday memories: Cadence turned 7 on June 9th. When I figure out how my really cool digital video camera can talk to my super cool new laptop, I promise to put the video of her dumping her cake. I guess 7 year olds can't transport a cake on a slippery board. The funny thing is...I thought she could do it, She thought she could do it, Jason obviously was the only clear headed one as he on video says...'there it goes' seconds before it crashed to the ground. Great moment though, remembered by video and buttercream ground into my carpet. Being slightly evil I brushed it off, pulled the dog hairs out of the icing and served it up. Even more evil, I sent some home with people and made them swear they wouldn't tell the unknowing vicitims that the same cake was face down on the floor just hours before. (until after they ate it). I have evil family so they complied just perfectly. Good times! Then bethy turned 2 on july 14th. She loves baby dolls and got her very own scooter. She tatles on her siblings and screams "coffee!" if she sees you drinking it. she has her own blinged-out mug and I mix copious amounts of milk in it (for ye who judge). She is an incredible 2 year old. She is loud, opinionated and perfect. She hollars in her bed "all DONE!" when she wakes and sings twinkle twinkle to put herself to sleep. She steals the show when she dances and pierces right through you with her blue eyes. She is everything I ordered and so much more. Happy birthday beth!
As for the running, I am starting to get anxiety when I think about it. Its so silly and my very smart neighbor was witnessing this anxiety the day before my long run. He said "relax, You are going to complete the 15 miles...it doesn't matter how long it takes you...you'll get it done". That was really helpful cause I had lost focus and had a certain time goal in mind that was adding to the chest pain. My running partner was fine with a few more walk breaks to complete 15 miles on monday. She didn't complain that I walked the last 2 miles and limped the last 4. We did 15 miles in 3 hours and 39 minutes up and back the orting trail. She is soo sweet and just jogs around me when I'm limping or stretching or moaning. She is like a gazelle and hops along, smiling, rested while hydrating on gatorade and the holy spirit. I on the other hand am whimpering and trying to swear imperceptibly as not to ruin her experience. I too talk to Jesus as I beg him to make his return and look up frequently to see if he's on his way. All joking aside, We had a nice run and reviewed the scriptures I've since memorized on this journey. All chapt. 26 vs. 2 in honor of the marathon.
Isaih 26.2- Open the gates that the righteous may enter the nation that keeps faith.
Psalm 26.2-test me and try me. Examine my heart and mind. For your love is ever before me and I will walk continually in your truth.
jeramiah 26.2-This is what the Lord says. Stand in the courtyard of the house of the Lord and speak to all the people of the towns of juday who come to worship in the house of the Lord. Tell them everything I command you. Do not omit a word
job 26.2- How you have helped the powerless. How you have saved the arm that is feeble
God always shows up. Soo cool.
