You go, girl! So proud of you for running and losing weight. You’re right that it’s not all about the exercise; if the intake exceeds the output, we’ll still gain.

Even though I never *loved* running, I did love being outdoors and the freedom I felt with it, so I relate to that. Your enthusiasm makes me miss it a little. 🙂 Keep it up, Nikole!

Oh, you’ll lose weight running as long as you watch what you eat. It’s easy to eat too much thinking the running will burn those calories. I love running. I’m still 20 something pounds overweight, but I am confident in keeping up the struggle to lose it because I just can’t give up a challenge. Running feels so freeing. It’s a challenge and I feel so good afterwards. It’s the greatest solution to those fat days. Just go for a run! :o)

Both your “wonders” are good for me today–to see who around me I need to pay attention to, and who may be watching me. Yikes. I’m far more comfortable with the former than the latter, but we do need to be aware of both situations. Thanks, Nancy!

Wow! Look at your new place! Good work 🙂
And–I love this. Giving thanks to someone/for someone who inspired you, just because they tried to do something hard. Makes me wonder who I need to pay attention to around me. Makes me wonder who is watching me.

In reply to Dianna. Thank you, Dianna, for your sweet words, always. I've had fun playing around in WordPress but would like to spend a whole lot more time with it. Sure wish I could have heard you give that testimony! Was it recorded by any chance? I'm certain you were a great encouragement to all who heard you and were a straight arrow pointing to the glory of our God. Love you much!

Oh my goodness, Lisa! I love your new site! The appearance is so different from before, but it still has “Lisa” written all over it…that is Lisa as in the servant of the Most High. I gave testimony at church just this past Sunday about some of the different people God has allowed to touch my life as they are going through MAJOR trials and yet are praising God through it all and how it does the very thing you have talked about here…STRENGTHENED me in my own faith and trust in Him. It’s His character trait of faithfulness I see in all of these folks in my life right now that He uses to draw me closer to Himself.

Love you, Sister!
Dianna

Oh, girl. You had me at “runner.” And I so get every single word that you write. It matters not what you look like doing it, but that you do it. Amen.

In reply to Jenn Hand. I do think it's pretty cool that we can encourage others even when we're unaware of it. That's so like God, yes?
