marathon training

marathon training is pretty rough. Today I went 6 miles. I think I've only done that once before, so I am pretty excited about it. It was kinda hard because my shoulder started hurting around mile 2. This personal trainer guy was at the gym talking to me and he told me God Bless you when I left. I thought it was cool. I realize I have to be more cautious about my opposite sex interaction now that I have a bf.

Dr. Don Colbert came to speak at our church today. He discussed stress management and the joy of the Lord. It was really good. I'm kinda down because I dont know if i will be ablet o go back to school in the fall. I waited late to get my application in....sucks. Oh well. I'm thinking about going to community college and getting some sort of personal fitness certification in the meantime. That might be kinda fun. I'm also thinking about trying out for the Rams cheerleaders, but I can't do any splits or tumbling or anything.

What's a girl to when she has spare time after her work at the Prosecutor's office?

love and maturity

I was so immature in college...and highschool....just all the way up until life hit. I had no direction, no goals, no people skills. I was sociable....I liked going out. But I was rude to people. Didn't know how to empathize with the pain of others. It sucks. I wish I could go back. I remember a friend whose mother died while we were in college. I wish I could go back and do more for her. Pray for her or offer her a shoulder to lean or cry on or some flowers or something.
Sometimes its so easy in this world to get caught up in yourself. It's frustrating. I think relationships bring out the best and the worst in people. The best because your S.O. (significant other) reminds you and rewards you when you are good to them. But the worst, because sometimes your shortcomings, personality flaws, ideosyncracies ( did I spell that right?) can hurt the people closest to you.

But, I love being in a relationship. It's the ultimate challenge to please another person without completely losing yourself. And its a challenge to love another person constantly, during good and bad times. Its the ultimate challenge, the now most people don't conquer.

life update

transitions can be tough......I'm going from one side to the other in the criminal world. Sometimes I wonder which side is the true dark side. I suppose I will soon see.
I'm grateful to the Lord for a new job, a new church, and and a new man. The Lord is good
