Lent- Crosses to carry, time to reflect

For Lent I have been keeping a journal at hand and writing about anything in it. It has been interesting. My friend Jan carries a journal and it is full of lists and I find that I have been adding lists, blood sugar checks and many other interesting things. I have also been exercising everyday. 15+ minute walk or a Wii Fit session. I love Wii Fit. I have a group of people that cheer me on and I can handle the short segments that you choose to do. I find I'm going longer and longer each day. Because I have been writing so much in my journal I have been neglecting my blog. I miss it. I haven't been good at keeping up on everybodies blogs as well. Tonight I sat down and starting reading. Boy did I miss you all. I feel like I just got back from the vacation that I wanted full of family and friends and tons of emotions both high and low.

I have a list of many entries that someday will make it to the blog (or not)

For a time- Lent, when I reflect on carrying Jesus' cross I feel pretty good. I guess I know the Good News that the cross was carried for each of us and every now and then He gives me the privledge to help Him and others.

Friends, I love you and thank you for the times you have helped carry my cross and I only hope that at times I have been there to help carry yours. In the future I hope that I will have the privledge to help again.

You are one of the precious examples of Joy, when God decided to make it!
I have missed you tremendously too sweetie...I am so proud of your efforts in being healthy and happy...
I am a cheerleader for you!
Enjoy your journaling...it brings a more sense of your sub-conscienceness to light...as blogging is very theraputic in putting everything out in the universe, private and personal thoughts, and lists, are also a way to get out what is harbored in our hearts...
With love to you...

Oh, I love lists, as well...
Here's mine...

Way Meagan Blessed My Life:

1. Her sweet phone message the other day about a story to tell me.

2. Her hug today when I walked into the success lab...she just had to hug me...and I knew why

3. Her story about her book mark...it was a wonderfully sweet story that I loved hearing about

4. Her kind comments on my blog about my angst. I loved all of her words because I know she speaks from her heart without cloak. But her words about listening to my dad now that he is not of this world made me roll that over and over and also made me realize that there is 'life' beyond death.... it truly made an impression on my heart.

5. I just love her. Plain and simple. And consider it a blessing in my life that she is my friend.

Meagan...this list made for you because it IS you! Thank you so much, dear friend, for your love and friendship. I love you!
