Strides of Faith: literary nutrition

This one is on my ever-expanding book list, recommended by a friend...

About Me...

I am 28 years old, and I live on the coast of North Carolina. I was an English major and am a former editor. I am blessed to work in a profession I am passionate about and privileged to travel the world through my job as missions coordinator at my church. I have Type 1 diabetes (hence the "sweet"). I have found a new love, running, and am training for a half marathon. I have an incredible husband who motivates, inspires, and leads me. (And he makes me laugh pretty hard, too!) Life is good—and imperfect. But God is love—and always perfect. Thank you for joining me... it's going to be a sweet run. :)

What's In A Run?

This blog is the honest account of a non-runner's road to a half marathon. It is an exploration of what's true about the saying "it's the journey, not the destination"—and why to consider the process over perfection. It is a testament to the fact that the benefits of running are NOT just physical. It is simply my journal of this season in my life. It will hopefully be encouraging or helpful to another, should anyone stumble across it who is just starting to run or train.

But most of all... this is not self-help. It is not self-chosen or self-made. This is not self-discovery. All glory to the Father of heavenly lights, from whom our EVERY gift comes

(James 1:17).

Few Favorite Running Songs... (I need new music!)

"Paradise" by Coldplay (beach run)
"Here In This Moment" by Beckah Shae
"Pounding" by The Doves
"Lift Me Up" by Kate Voegele ... my diabetes song :P
