Still small voice!

 
 
 
 
I have known to ignore the still small voice, ALOT!
Mostly cuz i wouldn't stay still enough to pay attention------
In both thought and actions!
This past year i have NOT ignored, and I pay close attention to what the lord wants of me.
We are all USEFUL tools for him, he needs to use ALL the tools in the tool box!
.
.
I have been busy with quite a few things and changes in my life!
.
1. House sitting for my uncle and Aunt for the summer and IN love with his home!
2. Ive been "Clean Eating" for over 3 weeks now---Lost 17 lbs.
{YES I have only had 4 sonics since then}  Unbelievable i know!
But I feel amazing and Im ready to seriously training for the Half Marathon!
3. I have picked up a few photography sessions along the way.
4. Mike and I are inseparable.......and I am READY for the next adventure with him!
5.  Totally in love with Instagram and the wonderful WOMAN I have met.
{Follow me  Nanniegoat36}
6. And savoring EVERY minute with my kids.....literally savoring!
.
.
I was over at my parents house this morning printing off  things for Abbie's Drives Ed class.....and sharing with them my morning I was having!
My dad said I needed to share.
He missed my blog.
Last week I got an incredible email that I bawled through {while driving} and a couple texts and phone calls from my sisters making "comments" about my blog.
Funny how the morning I received the email from a random sweet lady I prayed about my blog, I want to inspire, I want to capture this journaling for my kids, and mostly for myself-----all these years it was my therapy outlet.  And I wanted it back.
Funny how HF works and softly knocks on our door!
{IF we stay still and listen}
.
.
So Here I am blogging again!
:)
 
I have been wanting to get this training underway, and start the torture of running 13.1 miles!
But my Nike's were ready to retire------
They been through 2 half marathons and 6 races......sad things!
After many weeks of "thinking" about it, I finally went up to the Logan runners store and got fitted!
They watch you run and do some simple exercises to see how you run to determine what shoes fit best for your feet and running style.
I left with a WHOLE size bigger shoe and Aasics, not nikes!
Perfect shoes, light as a feather!
My feet and legs are gunna be SO EXCITED..........and love me more!  lol
  




 
 
 
After finally gathering and finding what I needed I am SOOOOOO EXCITED to take my things out for a spin........lets hit the pavement YO!
.
.
I was awake by 6:30 this morning....
Laying in bed trying to decide if I should get up?  lol
Go running?
Then had a random thought , THAT I shouldn't do either....
humm.....
.
.
.
This is where I needed to go!
 
 
 

What got me here early this morning was the still small voice whispering...
Many waiting for me to do work for them.....angels.  Eagerly waiting....FOR ME!!!!
.
.
I listened.
I went.
 
What happened in the temple was amazing today, it was CLEARLY known for me why I needed to be there!  ME!  {HF needs ALL his tools} even little ol' me!
.
.
.
So I bounced out of the temple, happy and smiling like a little bee.  :)
 
.
Decided to grab me a SONIC and Abbie one too....
The manager of sonic {hi Emily} knew who I was and was happy to know How often i post sonic pictures on Instagram.....so they were BOTH on the house!
Thank you sonic!  :)
lol
A little free treat for me,  for being Obedient....I just knew angels followed me out and have been with me today!  sonic angels, cute hair day angels, i made fresh salsa angels, good kids today angels.......ect....you get the point!
 
 
 


I texted one sister of mine.......
Asked her how her day was and that I loved her.
Her response was...."Annie, its like a little slice of heaven right now"
.
.
She couldn't have said it better!
.
.
.
.
.
I will be posting about our annual Cuzins KAMP 2013.

IT WAS AMAZING like usual!  I have great parents who sacrafice so much....

  7. You know that part in Princess Bride when the man keeps saying "Inconcievable!" and Inego says "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." I do not think you know that you are an Angel to everyone you meet. YOU ARE THE ANGEL! Keep up the good work! (Don't tell, but your halo is starting to show!)

  8. Your words always full with emotion - thank you for being brave - for sharing - for being out there - when "out there" can be scary. I want to be strong in my vulnerability - but that is much harder to do than it seems. Thank you sweet friend, for casting your thoughts into the air to envelop us :) Love ya
