Weekly training plan

First: some eats

*********

Now onto training and runs

This is the weekly email from my coach of our training plan:

Like I have said before: I don’t follow this plan 100% (I ❤ rest days) and I don’t run every day.

Yesterday I ran for the first time in 6 days after hurting my heel from walking in flip flops for a full day. Here are the stats from Daily Mile.

I’m happy with that run and i’m happy God has blessed me with legs to run, air to breathe, and His love 🙂

What are you happy that God has blessed you with?

From worry to blessings

Today I want to share with you all about something that had been worrying me that God took care of-as usual! I’ve always had a job since I was 14 years old. (The only exception being the time I had nose surgery an wasn’t allowed to work for a month)

From age 14-17 I worked in a pizza shop

My pizza shop uniform lolz.

From 15-16 I taught swim lessons and was a life guard. (Yeah I had 2 jobs at once for a while-it was a busy time!)

I worked for a local YMCA but this picture was taken at home.

17-18 I did real estate work from home

18-19 (until yesterday….) I worked for Penn State at the fitness center

Yepp, that is me hiding behind the desk!

********

Yesterday was my last day working for Penn State.

I loved my job (and had the opportunity to become the manager) but I resigned because I wanted to enjoy my last few weeks of summer plus I have to move in early for the school I am transferring to. Here comes the worrying thoughts….

“How am I going to make money? I am going to be SUCH a burden to my parents! I am so lazy, why would I quit my job so soon, I need this money for _______.”

Of course those thoughts are irrational as I am typing them out but they popped through my head before and after I decided to stop working. What do I do when I worry (or have any emotion in general!)? I pray out all of my honest thought/feelings. So I did.

God answered my prayers!

Literally the day after I was praying my Dad approached me and asked me to do some work for him. (Him and my mom own a business) I jumped at the offer and I have already done a few hours of work.

The next day a woman at my church approached me and asked me to take over her duty of cleaning the church while she is on vacation. I jumped at the offer!

Of course I save my money wisely, etc. but I have always had a huge worry that I am going to be a burden to my parents in the money area if I don’t work. I know they are always willing to help me out but to tell you the truth I feel awful taking any money from them. I’m so glad I prayed everything out to God and he answered my prayers.. rapidly!

****

I just had to share this with you all today because it was on my heart :]

Do you feel bad accepting money from your parents?

Tell me about some answered prayers!!
