We had Trevor's birthday party Saturday. He had several little boys to play with, as well as lots of family. He had so much fun. It was funny watching him while we were singing. He looked so confused to see that many people who had come to play with him, and then they were all surrounding him and singing. Then I gave him a cupcake, hoping he would dive right in. After much encouragement, he finally put a few fingers in the frosting, and that was it. He wouldn't even taste it. He eats dirt from the floor and any paper he can find, but I couldn't get him to try his own birthday cake! Oh well, at least there wasn't much to clean up! Trevor wants to thank everyone for coming to celebrate and for all the thoughtful gifts. It was a wonderful day!
His party isn't for another week, but on his birthday, we had to make it special, so the crown prince went to lunch with his mom, aunts Christi & Casi, and grandma Jeanne at Lola's. Trevor has been to Lola's many times. He loves lunch dates there. He wore his party hat the whole time and got a free piece of cake, at which he made a face and wouldn't eat. I can't believe a year has gone by already. He's not a zero baby anymore!
Wife, mother of 2 beautiful boys, in love with Jesus! Just like my running, I try to live on purpose, and that includes making conscious choices of where I spend my time, who I am with, making no excuses, what conversations I have, to keep going even when I'm exhausted, to get back up after I fall, to always aim for my personal best, to push myself, to prove to myself that I'm determined and dedicated, and most importantly, to let God do the leading because I am weak and He is strong. Soooo much more to come on my life lessons from running, but in the mean time, what do you do to strengthen your character, to push yourself? Where do you go to spend time alone with God? What do you do on a regular basis to stay inspired? You certainly don't need to choose running like I did, but what are you choosing?
