I dreamed of a wedding of elaborate elegance; a scene filled with flowers and friends. I asked him what kind of wedding he wished for; he said one that would make me his wife.

I have unanswered prayers

I have trouble I wish wasn't there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That You would take my pain away
That You would take my pain away


I am trying to understand
How to walk this weary land
Make straight the paths that crookedly lie
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine


When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands


When You walked upon the Earth
You healed the broken, lost, and hurt
I know You hate to see me cry
One day You will set all things right
Yea, one day You will set all things right


When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands


Your hands
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still


When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave You when...


When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave...
I never leave Your hands

This song is by the wonderful JJ Heller. I heard her song on KSBJ a while back and it's really stuck with me. Obviously she has a gorgeous voice, but it's really the words that stuck with me. 

We all have unanswered prayers, troubles and sorrows.  But you know what? God holds us through it all.  He protects us...he takes care of us.

Hopefully you didn't expect a big drawn out post about this.... I really just wanted to get this song out there...and get JJ heard.  Her lyrics are amazing.

If you have iTunes, download her entire album called "Painted Red".  You won't be disappointed. You could also just YouTube search her name and song title, which is "Your Hands".

Just a little thought provoking post...

I just mostly wanted to tell Him "Thank you."

I've been a bad blogger lately.   :(  Will you guys forgive me?

Time to update you on my running! Did really well the first week.  Stuck with the plan and everything. My second week had a few set backs.  I felt like crap. I went to the doctor and got antibiotics so things are now on the up and up.  Now I am on week 3 and Monday was my first running day back.  I am not going to sugarcoat it.  It blew.  I felt like I was dieing. But, I did it.  That's all I can say for that run... I did it.

Yesterday, Wednesday, I ran for the 2nd time this week. I've been carrying my iPhone and listening to music off it this week and decided to have a little fun while running. Let's face it, I needed something to keep my mind off the fact that I felt like I was hyperventilating.


The result??




Yah, I know. Goober. Really flattering, too, right?

My outcome?



I only walked 3 times and once was only for 30 seconds. Pretty proud of myself.  My achillies tendons have been screaming at me lately so I have been making sure to take anti-inflammatories (Are you proud, dad!?) throughout the day and not wear heels to work.  :)

My cool down walk around the neighborhood was pretty nice, too!



So pretty.  Now if only those sunsets came with warmer weather! Soon!!

I had to go out after this to look for a dress for this weekend.  Exciting stuff happening this weekend! On the way home, I was really craving ice cream.  I stopped in Randall's and they have these teeny tiny 1 cup servings of ice cream.  Genious! Just enough.



I was so excited to get home and devour this! I was disappointed though. Something was off.  It wasn't too good.  C'est la vie!

I will try to become more of a regular around here! :)
