7 Quick Takes - Friday, September 7th

--- 1 ---

Still working on my 5K training! I ran this morning, but it wasn't amazing... I guess I should be happy I made it 2 miles even without a lot of running. My back has been hurting the last few days so I was moving quite slow this morning. I've tried heat and ice as well as stretching. It's all helping for a bit but nothing is making it go away.

My Facebook status the other day reflects pretty much my entire outlook on life lately:

today will be the day my computer & i fight! EVERYTHING is going wrong! i don't understand why my computer would do complicated, amazing things just yesterday and TODAY it's like the end of the world for it to type a sentence!
be warned! if all you can do is type a sentence, i WILL recycle you into this!!! it will not be pretty (& it will hurt - both of us)!

The fruit of my labor on Tuesday (& probably part of the reason why my back hurts).

Arranged 4 full shelves of books in my Pastor's Office

My friend MG sent me this link today to a woman who was 'tired of waiting' ... I completely agree with her sentiments. I don't wait anymore!

Monday was Labor Day! It was such an excellent day! Weekend Coffee (the special stuff) in my PJ's, Hiking with MG, Cabo Fish Taco (so delish), and just relaxing! (could have contributed to my back ache, but worth it!)

Today I'm only working for a maximum of 2 hours, the rest of the day is going to be a 'mental health' day. Might go to a Young Adult event tonight depending on MG's schedule. Maybe some excellent conversation will happen!

I'm asking for prayers for my youth group tomorrow - we're praying outside of the Abortion Clinic tomorrow morning. I hope it proves fruitful!

NAS: A Day in the Life

It's 2015 and Tuesday so that means that we are back at the Not Alone Series ! A huge thanks to Jen and Morgan for hosting and for helping all of us ladies gather together to remember that we aren't broken, we aren't alone, and we are loved by God. Let's get back in the swing by sharing what our typical day is like! Tell us however you like, minute by minute or a blurb about your day! Be sure to answer these questions: - What is your favorite part of your day? - What is your least favorite part of your day? - Are you making any changes to your daily routine now that the new year has begun? Well my typical day use to be not so typical, but then I took a huge leap and got a new job that is a lot eaiser to have a routine that is pretty set. I am someone who loves routine, I crave stability, and although I can make changes into my routine, they have to be determined by me to stick. So a typical day? I set my alarm to go off at 6:46am, I get ou...

NAS: Travel

How do you travel as a single lady?! Any tips or tricks you'd like to share? Do you have anything fun planned for this year? Multiple times per week when I'm brushing my teeth in the morning I think about how boring my life is, how I never go anywhere. To be honest that is a complete and utter lie. I mean between July 2013 and March 2014, I hung out on four different continents - let along the time I spent traveling around the U.S. to Denver, New York City, Savannah, Orlando, and my parent's place. I'm the girl who bought a plane ticket to Africa and went into the bush all alone. (it's a great story ) Let me type that again - I went to the Congo, alone! I still can't even believe that I did that - it's the craziest thing ever ... but the most amazing experience of my life. So my off the cuff tips for traveling alone, they aren't super original, so be prepared to be underwhelmed! If you want to go somewhere, just do it - buy the ti...

NAS: The Rosary & The Single Life

October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary, so we wanted to honor Mary and reflect on her help during this time of singleness. How have you called on her intercession before? What is your relationship with our Blessed Mother like? If you don't know much about Mary or the Rosary, is there something keeping you from getting to know her? There are two things that keep me sane as a single lady. One of them is the rosary and the other is this: So I try to stick with the Rosary on most days! And today is a special feast for Our Lady of the Rosary so it's great that Morgan and Jen chose October 7th to talk about it! A few years ago I was in a Women's Bible study and Immaculee came to speak in Charlotte at our Eucharistic Congress. A woman who I was very good friends with was with me and a few other ladies at lunch at the best Chinese Restaurant in Huntersville! She asked me if I was praying the Rosary for my husband. I said, ...
