Mother's Day and Fruit Pizza

Despite the fact I am not a mother, today was great for me. I woke up at 9, put on the shorts and a t-shirt, did the dishes really quick, and made this fabulous fruit pizza (with light purple frosting) In fact, I am probably going to eat a piece for dinner. Or two.

After that, I knew I really needed to wash my hair. Basically, my hair has 36 hours I can go without washing it. A millisecond more and I look like John the Baptist from the Bible series without facial hair:

Ha. But really. Just went and got a piece of fruit pizza with kiwi and blackberry. This one right here:

 I fast walked/ran walked a mile in 12 minutes today. After I got home from a youth group mother's day thing for my mom, I changed and walked WITHOUT my puppies. It was nice not to drag around 100 lb. ankle weights. Seriously.  Just grabbed another piece of pizza. This time with a raspberry.

I heard that it takes 21 days to form a habit. I have walked for 4 days in a row, so I only have 17 more to go until it is a habit.  Which means I only have 20 days until eating fruit pizza for dinner is a habit.

And what a good habit that will be.

Rain and Grace

So today I woke up at five, went for a quick 3 mile run with my puppies, and I ate a yummy granola bar while I watched the sunrise.

Not.

I actually rolled out of bed at ten, came downstairs and ate a handful of Cheetos (or marshmallows...it was a bit of a blur) then, I complained about having to do some yard work. I ended up taking one dog for a half-mile drag. He decided that I was a moron for trying to walk him at 1:20 when he was asleep, and after a quarter of a mile, I agreed with him and turned back. I took my other dog for a mile long walk, and he actually came. It rained for 20 minutes today, and I was slightly disappointed. Then I sat on Pinterest for a while, and ate oatmeal (a healthy meal with Craisins and blackberries. And a half cup of coconut sugar. Ha.) and green tea for dinner. I even had whole wheat toast.My oatmeal exploded all over the microwave, and I still ate it.

Guess what.

God loves me. He would have loved me extravagantly if I had gone on a 3 mile run, eaten granola, and read a book explaining the intricacies of medieval doctrine. He would have extravagantly loved me JUST AS MUCH if I would have slept until noon and then watched "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" until midnight, whilst eating marshmallow fluff.

I am so grateful for His grace, and being able to walk free from guilt, knowing that His love is unconditional. I would call that a great day.

Presently Appreciating...{May10th)

I decided that I really want to chronicle my ever-changing list of things I am really enjoying at the moment. I would just like to have a list at the end of the year. So. My favorite things this week are:
I really can't get enough of the following things. I am sure they will all change within a week, but I guess we'll see.

I do so love (right now)

These songs:
"The Blood You Shed for Me" by Laura Hackett
"Pilgrim Days" by Will Reagan and the United Pursuit
"Beautiful Things" by Gungor ( I know I am a bit late on this bandwagon, but I really don't care. I didn't really like this song until a few weeks ago. Now I really appreciate it)
"You Satisfy My Soul" by Laura Hackett

Brisk nighttime walks with my puppies by myself. 

 That is all for this week. Because I am tired, and I am going to try and wake up early and walk my puppies. Ha.

Wish me luck.
