(just as a disclaimer-this blog is being typed via iPhone)
So here's the thing. I don't run. Nope. Nada . But I have multiple friends who have decided that I in fact am going to run.

And my friends are stubborn.

So this morning my good friend Mari and I decided to walk to breakfast. Get a good 4-6 miles in round trip and eat breakfast.

Did I mention my friend Mari is a personal trainer?
So, we get outside and start walking and she takes me across the street to this hill.

A horrible hill that I have seen many people have to run up and do many other not nice exercises up.

And my friend (though in that moment I might more call her a "friend") told me that we were going to run up this hill not once but twice.

Ugh.

But you know what?
I got to the top of the hill not once,but twice.
I did it.
I had this beautiful little victory in the midst of the chaos. In the midst of the worry& the stress of life I had a victory and a joy.

 I felt like I was given a little picture of how God is going to speak to me next year..

In complete honesty I don't  have a lot of expections for 2013

I expect to be broken and put back together.
I expect to learn how to better deal with confrontation. 
i expect to see God move.
I expect to be apart of  a new family.
I expect to get sick,have fun, cry, laugh until I cry, fall on my knees in utter exhaustion.

But today running up that hill I realized God is going to show me small parts of myself through victories & joys, not just heartache.

That He is going to show me love like I have never known…
Even in the midst of not wanting to run…

Remain in His Love
