I went running tonight. Yesterday I got a pair of $10 track shoes, and they make me want to run, so tonight was nice and I figured “why not?” So I put on my shoes at 21:30 and headed north.
It really was amazing going running by myself, well, by myself and God. Cause the thing is, every time I run I end up connecting with him. It’s really cool. Once I start running this inner monologue with myself and him starts going. Everything that happens is coming from and connecting to him. It’s amazing when you start focusing in. You become totally aware of sounds, the wind around you, the stars above, every car that passes you, and most of all my rhythmic breathing and my state of energy (as in, “I can’t run anymore… must walk”)
Every time I go I get scared, of people, of dogs, of cars, of houses, or lights, I feel I’m standing out to much and I’m gonna get in trouble, or attacked. I know it’s not a very legitimate fear (or maybe it is), but at the least it brings me closer to God. When the fear sets in I put my trust in him and pray for protection.
It was an amazing experience tonight and at the end I decided I need to do it more.
Being a few days from my 18th birthday I guess it is time for the wish list post. Now I know I haven’t updated in a while, so I’m sorry that this has to be what the post is, but maybe with my 18th birthday will come experience in the area of blogging, and thus create some brilliant posts to come, but I doubt it. Anyway, ON WITH THE LIST!!
-Cash that will go towards licensing my sailboat, parts I need for it, materials for the repair, and towards my membership at the club
-An Mp3 player with 4GBs or more of space (Sansa E260?)
-A Dry Bag for my sailboat (available at boating stores, or sports stores like Joes)
-Disc Golf Discs, or a new bag
-Something creative and original, maybe handmade?
-Fun card games and board games
-A Car
-Lifejackets Adult Universal size
-Time with friends, as in you take me to a movie, or go to coffee, or on a hike. I’d love just hang out time with friends and family if you don’t have cash.
-Other?
