Queens Cup Steeplechase

I got to play dress up today!! I felt like I was in a movie....maybe My Fair Lady, where she dresses up and goes to the horse race and pretends like she is someone that she maybe is not and then gives herself away by what she says. I didn't give myself away....maybe everyone else around me was playing dress up too. It was fun!

Amazing jump...too bad it wasn't the horse I picked to win!

Playing dress up :)

thank you, Father!

Today: I ran a 10k in 62 minutes. I ate some really good salad. I enjoyed some great worship music. I felt the breeze and saw the colors of Spring. I had a choice as to which sweatshirt I wanted to wear.

It was a good day! My body did what it is supposed to do, I had food to eat, and I had clothes to wear. Thank you Father God!

I hope that if these things were not true, that I would still be able to praise God!

Philipians 4

4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

12I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
13I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

the true sun

" This is how I distinguish dreaming and waking. When I am awake I can, in some degree, account for and study my dream. The dragon that pursued me last night can be fitted into my waking world. I know there are such things as dreams...I know that a man of my reading might be expected to dream of dragons. But while in the nightmare I could not have fitted in my waking experience. The waking world is judged more real because it can thus contain the dreaming world; the dreaming world judged less real because it cannot contain the waking one. For the same reason I am certain that in passing from the scientific points of view to the theological, I have passed from dream to waking. Christian theology can fit in science, art, morality and sub-Christian religions. The scientific point of view cannot fit in any of these things, not even science itself. I believe Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. "

CS Lewis, The Weight of Glory, 139-140
