Another picture of my running shoes (🙄) but I really needed this run today. When anxiety and stress are high in my life, I want to retreat, escape into Netflix, eat my feelings, but the kindest, most helpful thing for me is to move, to run, to focus on putting one foot in front of the other. To focus on breathing. To get out of my head. • • I may have laid on my bed today after a long day in silence for an hour but I still ran. Everything feels different now. • • At one point in my life, I worked out to lose weight, get in shape. Now I do it as a part of taking care of my self, physically and mentally! #rungirlrun #selfcare #anxiety #stress

It’s so easy in the midst of hard seasons, long days and changes of life, to forget what God has done. We forget and believe that He isn’t good and kind. We forget his faithfulness. When we remember it can be powerful. It can be the thing that melts our hearts in belief, carrying us through and transforming our hearts.

I have run twice this week. More than I have in a long while. It wasn’t fast or without walking. But I did it. Coaching myself to keep going to reach the next light pole or block is one of the hardest things right now. I am trying not to give up because I am not where I used to be. Trying to run forward instead of backwards, knowing that running in my 30s might have to look different, and maybe better. • • • #rungirlrun #betterthanyesterday #fallcomequickly

It might make Wednesday’s long but I don’t regret for one minute saying yes to these students and these people. Being apart of an amazing group of leaders and serving amazing kids is such a blessing to me. Pouring out for them actually fills my cup. #redeemerkcstudentministry #youthgroupleader

Usually when I get sick, I also get really sad. It makes me feel lonely trapped inside my house, sleeping and not moving more than 5 steps from my couch. It usually brings up all the sad thoughts about my current season in life. But when I came home from work and napped, I realized that I am extremely thankful that I was able to come home and rest and take care of myself without the guilt or pressure to worry about anyone but me. * * * There might be a season in life where getting sick might look different, but today I am thankful for noodle soup, hot tea, and streaming TV. #godskindness #sickdays #thankful

These girls. ❤️ 😘 I probably couldn’t have made it through this week without them preaching truth to me. Everyone needs people that remind you of who God says you are.• • When you serve alongside people, there is no hiding and you only are blessed when you let them love you too. I am so thankful for them and all of our student ministry team. And I am all for spending every Friday night dancing around a roller rink with them! 💃🏻🎵
