it is so beautiful outside!

i did a 12 mile run today through the country and also through the city...people walking around EL, sitting on patios drinking coffee, reading books, enjoying the company of each other and the sunshine. the sun shining and a slight breeze made it oh so perfect. i couldn't stop smiling as i ran. i got to the end, and it was so nice i wanted to keep going, but my legs were starting to ache.

my heart yearns for summer.
my heart yearns for change.
my heart years to leave. to explore. to go.

i am learning to be satisfied in the Lord.
i just wish problems and conflict would go away. it doesn't. it's part of life and living through it and growing through the storm. friends are lost, and friends are made. it's a journey.
