moving out to follow him...

I ran my first 3 miles straight last night!!! It felt amazing! The hills are what get me, but besides that I am loving being able to go longer and farther. Dustin got me an awesome bike for our 1 year anniverary last week, so now we will be riding bikes to cross train on our off days for running. I didn't realize how expensive bikes can get! It is freakin' ridiculous.. 6-7 THOUSAND for a bike! Not a motorcycle...a bicycle! I obviously didn't get one of those, but mine is really nice! It is a 2009 Fuji Road Bike and it is pink! He got the tires switched to road tires so I can keep up with him. And then I got a pink helmet, pink waterbottle holder, and black and pink pouch. I love it, and I especially love this new life we have started together. That is being healthy, working out, reading, going to church, eating right. It is amazing what little changes can do to the big picture of your everyday.

On a larger note, I will be moving out soon. Those close to me know it has been my heart for awhile now, but the time has come that he has realized what needs to happen too. I guess prayers for a long time have been answered as I needed that extra push to do what is right. It is going to be so hard, and to be honest it would not be my preferred situation. One of my favorite songs of all times is "If you want me to" by Ginny Owens, and one of the lines in the song says:

"This may not be the way I would have chose it.
When you lead me through this world that's not my home.
But you never said it would be easy.
You only said I'd never go alone."


I need to keep in mind that God is first, and that his desires for my life are the right ones, because he has the master plan and I need to be obedient to follow and trust in him alone.
