Treasure of the day...

"For we are saved by hope; but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it."
Romans 8:24-25

trust HIS heart

"But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." ...For when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Corinthians 12:9,10

~God is enough for me... for my problems, my pain, my hurt and my desires. When I am afraid or worried or self-condemning, I will remember WHO sustains me! God is sufficient! So I will lay my burdens, flaws, needs, guilt, anger, frustration, fear, disappointments and desires on His shoulders and trust His heart!!!~

"God is too wise to be mistaken, God is too good to be unkind, So when you don't understand, When you don't see His plan, When you can't trace His hand, Trust His heart" ~Babbie Mason


“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.” ~Robert Collier

3rd Race this year

Dawn at the Don 5K Race 2011




Post race picture. Exhausted but smiling coz I finished my 3rd race this year. This was a bit harder coz I didn't have my awesome husband to run it with but he was at the finish line waiting for me.


This race was hard from the start. I wasn't mentally prepared for it or physically... just coming from vacation but hubby wouldn't let me back off from the race. lol. Praise God for him! It was awesome to hear my name as I cross the finish line. :) But what really was a treat was that I finished at 39:33! That's a new record for me. It definitely beat my goal of 45:00 for this race. :)

Conquered Mt. Ascutney

Allen and I set off to climb to the summit of Mount Ascutney, elev. 3,144 feet.




It was a very difficult trek through boulders, sleep inclines, and uncleared paths. It was physically exhausting and mentally challenging.




Oh but getting to the summit was amazing!!!! It was much better than my 10K experience. We couldn't believe we climbed a mountain! It was an incredible view!!! The air was so fresh and light. It was hard but I would definitely do it again!





Had the greatest partner with me! So encouraging and he wouldn't accept anything but my best. Love experiencing new things with my best-friend, my hubby.
