Running Shoes and Buttercups

It has been a crazy, busy, crazy week and I haven't had time to blog. So, tonight may or may not be cohesive but I will give it a shot. I guess over the past week I have realized a few things; first of all how faithful God is in the midst of all my own busyness he shows up to show me the way to guide me and to speak into my life in very important avenues. Often times when I think of how distinctly God speaks to me it seems unreal and parts of me want to not tell anyone but then there are the parts of me that want to scream from the mountain tops what God just showed me or told me or how he is speaking into my life. One of my biggest fears, although most people know that its being alone (I have worked with too many elderly woman who don't talk to anyone for weeks at a time...so if you have grandparents visit them; random side note) is that I don't want to misrepresent God or the things he is doing in my life I don't want to misunderstand his call in my life, yet I don't want to underestimate his power; so I end up in this fine limbo...loving God, being faithful and obedient, trusting him with everything even when my mind can't seem to understand and trying to be open with those around me.

I know that I am a work in progress, I am not finished running the race, certainly not finished doing the things that God has called me to do, so everyday I want to put on my running shoes and go for it.

Another thing I realized is that on any given day do you think about what other people are going through; over the past year and a half I have spent countless hours in the hospital with my job and yet this week when I was in the pediatric surgery area it hit me people go through this everyday...it was a crazy revelation that I knew but I never really thought about...on any given day how many people are fighting for their lives or facing illness that they never thought they would. And everyday in that place God is performing miracle after miracle whether we know about it or not.

....oh and today I decided I really like the yellow flowers they plant on the median:)
