MARCH:

"God does nothing without purpose... I so wanted this finding-my-first-counseling-job part of my story to be smooth and easy, but it's okay that it looks different than I planned... God is at work in ways I cannot yet see... The best is yet to come.  And everything happening in this waiting season matters."

~Double Brunch Weekend, 3-2-25

"Completing 21 consecutive miles is huge for me, and these endurance runs are reeeally boosting my confidence and resilience in an emotionally draining season!  ...I am craving spring and new growth in all aspects of my life, and it's hopeful to see the first hints of it popping up!! ❤"

~Marathon Monday #14, 3-17-25

"This has been a long-held dream for me, and God has finally opened the door now.... I'll be the first to acknowledge that hope is much easier to feel and believe after the acceptance email than before - the "renewed strength" part is awesome; the "waiting on the Lord" part is rough!"

~Doctor of Philosophy, 3-17-25

"I told the Fosters about being accepted into the doctoral program, and Kristin cracked me up saying, "Congrats, that's awesome... and here we all are at Dave's Hot Chicken to celebrate!" lol  I said, "It's just what I always dreamed!"  But for reals, I'm happy to be with this group any day, any place!"

~Happy Spring, 3-20-25

"As a single woman, I sometimes feel like I'm winning the bronze medal in life no matter what I accomplish.  But I'm reframing that...  I believe God has good things in store.  And in the meantime, I'm training in some areas and winning gold in other areas, and I'm going to celebrate all of that!"

~3-2-1 Let's Go!, 3-21-25

"She said she enjoyed them all, but she didn't really have a favorite...
Me, unironically:  "Yeah, I get that... they're all really good, and J.K. Rowling is just brilliant!  ...My favorites in order of preference are 573-1642!!  It used to be 1462, but book 6 has grown on me."  Lol true story."

~Book Bag, 3-24-25

"I got sad and sobering news last night (3/25/25) about a former CHA coach and current headmaster at another Christian school who was arrested for possession of child pornography... that news made me pause and think about the value of personal integrity and excellence... I'm in the small beginnings phase, but I'm stepping into the Christian leadership arena, and I need to seek and follow God with fierce loyalty, paying attention and cutting out pride and other sins that entangle my heart, and pressing forward with a confidence that is grounded in Christ!"
~Marathon Wednesday (Week #15), 3-26-25

"I still feel confused and disenchanted sometimes, but the lack of purpose I felt for most of my 20s and 30s has vanished.  There is so much I want to do and accomplish, and I'm more concerned that there isn't enough time for all of it (but whatevs, we have eternal life ahead of us - what a gift!!)"
