riding again! woo hoo!!!

ok so 2nd day, 2nd bike ride. I have decided I am going to try to do some sort of exercise or work out everyday. This has to happen, Its one of my many things I have been attempting, and failing at. But I am changing how I attack this problem I am seeking God to motivate me vs. me motivating me. Now this is all great for this week while I am still out off of work, the real challenge begins next week... but I am trusting God that I will continue.

So Today while riding I had a God saving experience! God's grace saved me from being attacked by a big scary dog god nipping at my heels... I must remember to bring the pepper spray next time. After realizing how close I came to being attacked, I asked God to continue to watch over me, and keep me safe... every other dog I came across on this little FM road just happened to be either tied up or behind a fence. They still looked and sounded very vicious, but I know God was answering.

These seem like everyday experiences, and in the past not something I would have given God credit for doing. Easily explained away, I passed the Dog's house he was protecting, so he had no reason to continue pursuing me, or most people keep their dogs behind fences, it keeps them safe... but really I called out to God and the dog immediately turned back, I asked for protection and safe travels, He provided. If one dog was loose you know others usually are.

So I am praising Jesus today, for both protecting me and motivating me! He is sooo good!!!

"I understand what it is like to look up, and around, and not see the person you want to see, you need to see."

I read this recently and it made me think. Will I ever have this? Will I ever want, need, depend on someone so much that I feel this? I have been single and on my own for so long that I am not even sure if I would ever be able to feel this way about anyone. Blame it on the time of year, but I can't help but feel alone with a longing to have someone to call my own. To have someone to come home to, to call, someone who actually cares.

Friends and media

So all this news with Tiger I'm over it really... Until today I read a headline on MSN with my old roommates name attached as one of his mistresses. WOW! Shocker! I just love this girl, don't talk to her much anymore... life happens you know, but still I just love her. She is an amazing girl, very vivacious, just so much fun to be around. I would not have expected this from her, but then again it as not her who brought this up but a "source." I just hate that her name is plastered all over tabloids and such now regardless of if its true or not. Privacy people!!! Yes yes I know you get involved with the celeb. group and it happens, but really why does it have to. Up until now Tiger has led a very private life as many celebs do, their face never gracing the tabloid or magazine cover. This girl is not so much of a quiet person, being a big part of Vegas night life how can you be... being named to J. Colton's top 31 people in Vegas list. But to have private happenings put out there, by someone you know no less, it's just tasteless. And we as the buying public fuel the fire. We buy the tabloids, the US weekly's and just feed on other people's lives instead of having our own. Now I will not lie, I've been known to have a magazine or two floating around my house but I guess it just comes to light how silly we are and how the people we read about are real people with real lives, real problems, and real friends and families.
Kiks I still love you and know that you are a wonderful person!!!
