3 in 30 Check In: Miracles Do Happen

March has come...and it's been exciting so far! Even I cannot believe how well this week has gone for me! I'm almost afraid to have the weekend come because the routine will be changed.
My progress this week...
1) Get to bed by 11pm every night...DONE!!! This is one of my miracles this week. When you Google "nightowl" my name and photo are the first link to find out what this is. :) But not this week! In fact, I've been asleep by 10 most nights...last night I stayed up until 10:30 and feel sluggish this morning. This is funny to me...funny, strange, and great all rolled into one!
2) Bible study doesn't start until Monday...but, I did remember NOT to make an appointment for Monday morning, though, so this is progress!!!
3) Part one of a multi-part goal to become a better Proverbs 31 woman. This week's verse to work on..."She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants." Another miracle! I have been up by 5:15 AM every day in March so far...and at the Y by 5:30 ready to workout. (I get a break on the weekends because the Y doesn't open until 7 AM on Saturdays. Yahoo!) It's only the first part of the verse, but I cook for my family anyway and I don't have any servants, so that's the part I was aiming for in the first place. :) Today, I am tired, but it's been a great week of seeing how God answers prayers and performs miracles in my own life...even if they are little ones.
Hope your week has been one of progress as well! If something has not gone as planned, keep your chin up for there are more days left in March! Enjoy your weekend!

home of the Braves

As a metro Atlanta resident, it seems almost a requirement to go to a Braves game to continue living here. I grew up watching baseball and loving the game...and have been to a few games in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Detroit...and of course, Atlanta. The problem for me going to a Braves game is purely mental...having been a Mets and Cardinals fan for years, I just haven't the love necessary for the Braves to call me a fan. However, as with many things in life that I haven't particularly enjoyed over the years, my boys make it so worth my time and heart. I go watch the Braves because I love my boys...and my boys and I love baseball. Well, they love what they know of the game...still in training, but getting the hang of the lingo and SOP's of a baseball fan rather well. There are a few things that remain the same from stadium to stadium..."the wave" (Braves' attendees do not always get into this, which is very di...

Wednesday's Walk...Janis Lynn

In searching for a photo from my senior year in college, I was bombarded with sweet, sweet memories of one of my closest college friends....Janis Lynn MacLeish. I met Janis in the fall of 1993 when she came to Taylor University Fort Wayne. She was in my wing of Lexington Hall. Although, I was her RA, Janis taught me so much about life and living in a very short time that I often felt she did a better job leading than I ever could. Life was never the same for me after she and I became friends. It was oh, so much better! The room brightened when Janis finally awoke and entered through the door of one. She befriended the likes of anyone and made no enemies...except for the girls who were jealous of her for one reason or another. Her laughter echoed throughout the halls everyday. One knew when Janis was away for the weekend for it was creepily quiet on campus. Janis ...
