Sweet Sounds

Tonight, as I got Waverly ready for bed, I asked who she wanted to pray for. She said, "Memo and Papa." Before I could kneel down beside her, I heard her sweet voice say, "Thank you for Memo and Papa. Let them sleep good tonight. Amen."

It melts my heart that she is praying on her own, so simply, but so genuinely.

That Running Thing...

"How's Couch to 5k going?" you ask. "Terrible," I tell you.
I gave up on week three, day one. It was getting pretty hot outside, our little umbrella stroller was about to reach its limit, and we were going through a.lot of changes.
But I'm not a quitter.. Well, I guess, technically I am because I quit the program; however, I have NOT quit running. In just a few weeks, in fact, I have shaved an entire minute off my mile. 10:37 at the beginning of this FPO adventure and 9:11 just last night. I mean, for someone who is just starting out, I'm pretty pleased with this accomplishment. Maybe another minute by the end of FPO??
