Insecurities

There are so many things that people are insecure about. Whether its your weight or speaking in public. I have been hit with many of mine this week. But I found this cute song by Britt Nicole that makes me come back to earth, about how much the things your afraid of most about yourself do not have to hold you back. Jesus wants you to jump in no matter what. I find that very hard sometimes. Being as competitive as I am. I don't like to do things that put me out of my element, things that I don't think I will be good at. I am insecure about not being good at something. But I cant think that way.

This past week I did my first swim triathlon. It was an indoor one at my school.. and WOW WEE! Swimming is one of the hardest things ever! I had so much fun in this event, and I almost didn't do it just because of a 15 minute swim. As hard as a 15 minute swim is ( that I found out) it was worth it, I found a new challenge that I can take on, I don't and won't be the best, but thats OK, I met knew friends and found new training partners. :)  

Now I just have to work with being OK that Accounting is not my thing, and will never be!:)

I love you all! Have a great Sunny day!

Also Welcome BABY VANDIS! My friend Sarah had her baby this week, he is a cutie!

Ski Season Recap

Now that the ski season is officially over I like to look back on the year. It was full of trips first in the can to Montana, Wisconsin, Minneapolis, Duluth. Then it was in the coach bus to Marquette and Houghton MI.  It ended sort of bitter sweet with some good races and some bad races. The end of the season was sort of discouraging due to the warm weather which makes the wax pretty hard for the classic races. Also the last weekend in Michigan we had to move races back a day because there was 60 mph winds, over the course of the day I guess 6 trees had fallen down over the course, so thank Jesus we weren't out there skiing all day.

Now all thats left is a dinner with the team to say thanks to coach for the great year and for all he does, and to say bye to the seniors which is always sad. This year we have 5 seniors so it will leave our team pretty small for next year. Hopefully we get some new recruits to add to our now pretty young team.

Well thanks for the great season girls!


PS: Today is my puppy Norah's 8th Birthday!:) Happy Birthday NorBABY!

Hold my hand:)

Cause I've been there before 
And you've been there before 

But together we can be alright. 

Cause when it gets dark and when it gets cold 

We hold each other till we see the sunlight 

As surprising the artists can be together this song is so great:) I love thinking about how just holding someone's hand can make you feel so many things, whether it be happiness, comfort, protection love or just warmth. 
Then when you think about being hand and hand with Jesus its all those feelings x a million!:) I love holding hands with Jesus as I make my way through life. The great thing is that as special as you feel when you hold someone's hand, Jesus can give that feeling to everyone! He loves everyone and wants to hold your hand all the time!<3

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY

When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other. -Ecclesiastes 7:14

O, give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good.- I Chronicles 16:34


February is known to everyone as the month of love, but for my family and I it was full of even more love!:) On Valentines day my sister Erika was proposed to by her boyfriend Dan. He is super great! He is from Hudson WI, but originally from Chile:) He is also on his way into the marines. I am so excited to finally have a "brother". So now we have the wedding fever running through our house! It is so great looking at dresses and picking out chocolate covered strawberries:) 

God is doing great things in my family and I am so thankful everyday that he blessed us.
