The journey began in the autumn, but it seems that a number of things are happening this month. I blogged about it today a bit if you want to read it, if not then let's have coffee when the kiddlets are back in school. (maybe next week!) AND as far as the 1/2 marathon goes, let me know what one you are running and I'm there with you sister. Unless you choose to run in Hawaii or someplace far away. ;) And i'd love to train or at least do long runs together. my goal is ME. :) We can talk about it over coffee in more details, but i have finally begun to listen to what the Lord has been saying to me for too many years.

I quickly learned it was a very tangible way for me to work on being disciplined: eating right, working out, training regularly, etc. I am so proud that I ran the entire Lewis and Clark Half Marathon that September. It's one of my proudest accomplishments! God helped me every step of the way...and trust me, if I can do it, then anyone can!! :-) Best wishes on everything and a note about the half marathon training…like you, I did not consider myself a runner when I started training in 2007 for my half marathon.

Two struck my heart deeply...our hearts deepest desire is to bring another peanut home and I think He is leading us to Ethiopia. Your running goal...hehehe...WE HAVE TO TALK!!! I'm running my first 1/2 marathon in Feb. and I have been praying about starting a non-profit organization to help offer grants for adoptive families and ultimately humanitarian aid efforts (of course using running as a way to raise awareness). I would LOVE, LOVE to chat with you about what we are thinking. LOVE your goals for 2010.

My DR plans fell through :( :( :( so I, too, am keeping my eyes open for 2010 mission trip opportunities. As of now, I am leaning towards India... Those sound like great goals.

She did Project: 365, where she takes a picture every day of the year. She said that it has really improved her photography. Maybe that will help you pots 6 days AND get better at your photography. Blessings in the year and good luck on acheiving your goals! One blog I read about a family who adopted a sweet boy from Ethiopia wrote that she wanted to work on her photography.
