Progress


I realize this picture is backwards because I took it from my computer for the ease of the situation. But, it stands for a lot!!! R and I are headed to Chicago this weekend to visit my brother and his family and to run a half marathon...my first but Ryan's second. We decided a couple of months ago we wanted to try running a long distance together and see how it went before we decided on a full length marathon. It has been a fun process because we have run almost all the runs together and it has been some great bonding time. But, I really don't think we will do a marathon any time soon. I am glad we are doing it and looking at this sheet today that has been keeping track for us, I realized how far we have come! I know we won't be the fastest or the most enthusiastic, but we are going to try our hardest to get the job done! Well, I am off to catch my flight....wish us luck and say a little prayer for us on Sunday morning :)

On Faith and Suffering

Suffering....it is not an easy thing to bear up under. I feel that as life goes on, I am seeing more and more suffering around me. I have recently been through a tough season in my life. In the midst of difficult circumstances, it has caused me to look to God and question at times. I think sometimes in the Christian life, we are told, “Don’t question. Just believe. God is good all the time.” This, of course, is true but I think there is true beauty in the wrestling. In the coming out on the other side having a deeper faith because of where God has taken you on the journey. I have recently been reading in Hebrews and like God does, He somehow lined up the Scriptures and where I was reading to answer some of my questions right in the face. Questions like... “Why do people who love you have to suffer?” “I understand suffering is for your glory, but we already love you and are about your glory so do we have to go through it?” “Are you really big enough? Good? Faithful?” “Is it ...

10 things...

I am such a copy-cat today, but I love this idea! My favorite, Beth Moore, started this on her blog,  and then I noticed my girls, Alyssa and Kathyrn did it on their blogs too. I am learning so many new things about people and, naturally, I need to do it now! Here are the directions: What are 10 things - right off the top of your head - that we would only know about you if we knew you really well? 10 random things ranging anywhere on your personal map that make you a tad distinctive? Or just plain weird? Think quickly. Don't go for deep. Go for quirky. Don't try to put them in any kind of order and don't make them long. Just start typing. Since this is the Reese blog, I will attempt to do it for both of Ryan and myself.... Anna: 1. I hate to shave. Freshman year of college, I only shaved once a week and my friends and people I worked with tried to straighten me out with weekly "armpit checks"...sick, but true. 2. I love zits, abscesses, blood blisters---an...
