The other day I was running and it sucked. I ran around this one-mile loop three times, just like I usually do. There is this one place on the loop where there are two monster hills, one right after the other. I dread going up them every time because I’m from Florida and I’m used to running on the flattest ground you could think of. When I was in college, I ran a half-marathon. This was a huge accomplishment for me, because I’ve never been a super awesome runner, and never really enjoyed it very

This afternoon I was washing a whole bunch of silverware in our kitchen in the lodge, something that we do pretty often. In order to wash the silverware, we dump it all onto this tray thing with holes in it, then try to spray off the gunk before we sanitize it. I always get worried that I’m going to miss a particularly gross spoon or knife at the bottom of the tray, or that I’ll wash one side and not the other.

So Haylee and I went to a few different places to find people that we could pray for (a couple of them were places that we never thought we would go to) and we just started

Lately, I’ve been trying to look at everything we do and recognize that God has something for me in it. Even if it’s something that we’re supposed to be running, like the Confirmation retreat this past weekend, or even if it’s something seemingly pointless like wiping down a table after lunch. I mean, if “God is here”, which He is, then He must be speaking in every moment, and I’m sure I miss it more often than not. So going into this retreat, I knew that God wanted to speak to me in it.
