I finished my running goal this morning! 30 miles total in May! My app says I ran thirty one, which I'm okay with, but I'm pretty sure it rounds up.. I'm so excited that I finished it! I want to keep running for the simple reason that I never want to have to start running again. It's finally gotten bearable and something I don't loathe and I know if I quit now it will easily become that again. Honestly I think one of the things that helped me achieve this goal was that it was public. I couldn't imagine logging on here and having to report that I didn't make the goal. So I'll let you all know what my next goal is. :) The other goals are chugging right along. Tomorrow I just have to do my last two temple names and my random act of kindness.
Today's RAOK is to invite others to join in on the fun. Here goes....
YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED....
IN HONOR OF AMY'S 30TH BIRTHDAY....
TO GIVE ONE RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS....
Really, do it, it's actually pretty fun :)
I listened to this song the other day by Hilary Weeks and loved it. It's pretty much how I feel about these random acts of kindnesses. I'm sure I'm not changing anyone's life with these small acts, but hopefully I can give just a moment of hope and at least a smile. :)
Somebody's down to their last dime
Somebody's running out of time
Not too far from here
Somebody's got nowhere else to go
Somebody needs a little hope
Not too far from here
And I may not know their name
But I'm praying just the same
That You'll use me Lord to wipe away a tear
Cause somebody's crying
Not too far from here
Somebody's troubled and confused
Somebody's got nothing left to lose
Not too far from here
Somebody's forgotten how to trust
Somebody's dying for love
Not too far from here
It may be a stranger's face
But I'm praying for Your grace
To move in me and take away the fear
Cause somebody's hurting
Not too far from here
Help me Lord not to turn away from pain
Help me not to rest while those around me weep
Give me Your strength and compassion
When somebody finds the road of life too steep
Somebody's troubled and confused
Somebody's got nothing left to lose
Not too far from here
Somebody's forgotten how to trust
And somebody's dying for love
Not too far from here
Now I'm letting down my guard
And I'm opening my heart
Help me speak Your love to every needful ear
Someone is waiting not too far from here
Somebody's running out of time
Not too far from here
Somebody's got nowhere else to go
Somebody needs a little hope
Not too far from here
And I may not know their name
But I'm praying just the same
That You'll use me Lord to wipe away a tear
Cause somebody's crying
Not too far from here
Somebody's troubled and confused
Somebody's got nothing left to lose
Not too far from here
Somebody's forgotten how to trust
Somebody's dying for love
Not too far from here
It may be a stranger's face
But I'm praying for Your grace
To move in me and take away the fear
Cause somebody's hurting
Not too far from here
Help me Lord not to turn away from pain
Help me not to rest while those around me weep
Give me Your strength and compassion
When somebody finds the road of life too steep
Somebody's troubled and confused
Somebody's got nothing left to lose
Not too far from here
Somebody's forgotten how to trust
And somebody's dying for love
Not too far from here
Now I'm letting down my guard
And I'm opening my heart
Help me speak Your love to every needful ear
Someone is waiting not too far from here
Let me know how they go! :D
