Happy Spring!

Just back from the Van, and decided to have a bowl of cereal since I'm pretty hungry.  So here's a few quick thoughts:
  • Life is good, God is good, and I have the greatest group of friends ever! 
  • They postponed the already-postponed-several-times trip to Talequah just because I had to work late for our trial on Friday.
  • So we hung out at Starbucks at Utica Square instead. :)
  • In related news, after hearing Natalie's "success story" - lol - I'm hoping to force myself to like coffee.
  • We got to talking about Ellen, and the Shake Weight and the Hawaii Chair... and decided we had to see the youtube videos...
  • So we all gathered around the i-phone..... hahaha
  • Me, Bobbi, and Natalie went for another 6 mile Saturday run, this time at Riverside!  That's 3 weeks in a row - yay us!!
  • Race is next weekend - get excited!
  • Springtime has been way more exciting to me this year, for whatever reason.  Still hate bugs, but am enjoying the color and warmth and so many things about it. 
  • We saw a few of these on our run today... LOVE it... wish all the pinks and purples and whites would stay that way longer!
  • Joyce has talked a lot lately about rejoicing in God and taking some time to celebrate your progress with Him, rather than constantly dwelling on how far you have to go.
  • That, combined with resting in God and feeling much more peace, has been really refreshing!! 
  • I honestly have come a long way with God, with my security/identity, and my physical health; and for the first time, I'm more interested in jogging or doing something fun outside than watching TV... and that is definite progress!
  • And I know God is still on my side and will help me take steps toward freedom from all strongholds... so YAY for that!!
  • I tried out a Battle Creek Community Group on Tuesday night, and much like LifeChurch, this first group I visited may be a great fit!  The study was good, Milo was definitely hilarious, and I really had fun.
  • Kris, the host of the group, is a teacher at Eugene Field, so that was also awesome!
  • Chet and I went to the "Rock & Worship Roadshow" concert tonight with Mercy Me, David Crowder, Fee, etc. 
  • "Word of God, speak!  Won't you pour down like rain, washing my eyes to see Your majesty.  To be still and know that You`re in this place.  Please let me stay and rest, in Your holiness." (-Mercy Me)
  • I knew far more songs than I'd expected to, and it was an awesome worship concert... with one irritating rapping exception. 
  • But Chet's hilarious comments and facial expressions made even that part fun. :)


  • My "new things" this week:  First murder jury trial... could've done without that. 
  • First time in a Community Group! :) 
  • First time I've sincerely enjoyed and been so captivated by Spring! 
  • Listened to John Bevere's "Relentless Faith" CD - powerful! 
  • And thanks to Rach's advice, had my first Cookies n' Cream Hershey - yum! lol
  • One last picture...
  • I'm excited for this coming week and whatever God has in store; hope you are too!
  • "In Him, our hearts REJOICE, for we are trusting in His holy name." -Psalm 33:21
