Happy Monday! And Happy New Year! :)I hope the new year is off to a great start for you! I love the time of reflection that the end of an old year and the beginning of a new one brings. This past year was full of a lot of hard work, traveling, sacrifices and busy-ness.The Lord has been working on my heart over the past several weeks about making 2015 different. After a lot of thought, I decided that my "word" for 2015 will be ...

What Happened On Saturday When I Ran A 5K
Oh my word, y'all! I can't even believe I'm telling you this. I'm so excited and shocked!After running the color run at the end of September, Ernie and I signed up for a local 5k that we've run a couple times before.

Ernie was bummed because he had less time to train.Me? Not bummed at ...
