Running Mind
It's interesting the things that go through your head when you're running/walking. A song came on the ol' iPod- "Show Me" by Audrey Assad. I started to think about the finish line after my very first 5k last spring, and how I almost totally lost it. I had no idea why I was struggling so hard to compose myself, but it occurred to me last night that it was because I felt...free. Free from her, free from that body, free from past mistakes, free from a life not lived well, just...free. God delivered me-no, helped me to be free from these things. It occurs to me that we tend to think of God as a vending machine. We put in our coin-like prayers and expect him to give us what we want. Instead, we get what we need. Help, not necessarily deliverance. There is truth in that old saying: "God helps those who help themselves".
Bird Poop
A bird swooped into my bedroom the other day. It fluttered around frustratedly for a bit and pooped on my bed before I'd had a chance to get the blinds open so it could get out. Weird.
