Productive Weekend

I didn't do everything I needed to do this weekend, but I'm pretty excited about the things I did get done:

1.  Yesterday I had to run 2 miles to stay up on the training program Lacy and I are on.  I'm very proud to say that I ran the entire 2 miles.  That is definitely the longest I have ran in a long time.  And my time wasn't terrible.  It wasn't what it needs to be, but it wasn't bad.  (I promise I'm not going to talk about this all the time).  But, I am soooo sore today!  It's sad.

2.  I finished a project I have been working on for our house.  It turned out super cute!  I'll be posting pics later.

3.  I finished a bible study that I started back in August.  I managed to turn a 6 week study into 5 months.  This is probably the best bible study I have ever done. 



A close second would be Beth Moore's "Believing God." 
This was one of those studies that you feel like the person knows right where you are and is speaking directly to you.  The Lord revealed soooo much to me through this study. 
I had one video left to watch and I have been putting it off for a couple of months.  I'm not sure why, but tonight I decided to watch it.  It was EXACTLY what I needed to hear RIGHT NOW.  I seriously believe the Lord lined that timing up for me.  It was just so much that I needed to hear. I know I already said that, but it really was.

A couple of things I did that weren't on my "To Do" list:

1.  I have been wanting to go bowling forever.  Last night we finally got a group of people together to go.

2.  I saw "Up in the Air."  It was ok.  I don't think I would recommend spending money on it in the theater though.  Several people decided to go and see the Book of Eli (I think that's what its called).  I didn't want to see that (I hadn't heard of it and had no idea what it was about.  None of the girls really cared for it so I felt great about my decision). So I just went and watched a movie a different movie by myself while they saw that (And no, going to the movies by myself is not that big of a deal to me).

3.  My mom, sister, and I went and saw 101 Dalmations on broadway today.  I was NOT impressed with the costumes, but it was cute.

Overall, I'm feeling pretty good about my weekend!  I'm off tomorrow, so technically it's not over yet :)

Don't you love when God gives you things right at the exact moment?? I really like Priscilla Shrier! I've seen her speak once and done one of her studies (He Speaks to Me...I *think* that's what its called).

Too bad you didn't like Up In The Air. I haven't seen it yet but I've heard good things about it. Guess I'll wait til it comes to the $1 theater. And good for you for being secure enough to see a movie alone!

Well, you should have come with us to the Book of Eli...ANYTHING beats a movie starring George Clooney. I mean, come on.
