Ouch

Having a hard time moving today. My karate muscles are sore! I felt great this morning, just a teensy bit tight. By this afternoon, my entire core body was aching with every move. Ouch. Was it worth it? You bet! The whole karate experience is just so darn empowering, motivating, plain fun! It's truly awesome to watch yourself in the giant mirrors kicking and punching, bowing and jumping. Wow. Ouch :)

Curt took Camden to karate tonight where he was in top form, it sounds like. Because of his "black belt attitude" he got to lead the class at the end. He's really loving this, as you can imagine.

Food for Faith at church tonight - another major WOW moment. We had the best soup - homemade tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches. The boys' all-time favorite meal. And instead of the movies that we used to see, Bill, our youth minister, is interviewing folks about their faith stories. This week he talked to this magnificent man who cuts trees. He met this man shortly after he moved here last summer. Immediately they bonded through their faith and love of Jesus. Amazing is all I can say of this man's testimony! Wow. Wow. Wow. Motivates me to live a more spiritual life, to live it both inside and out. To make Jesus my priority. Everything else will just fall into place if I believe, truly have faith, and put the Lord first.

Thanks be to God.
