This morning we had our very first Annual Royal Run 5K on Bethel Universities Campus. It was amazing! I spent most of the time throwing color at people as they ran by.
Such a great day!

31 Days of MAY~Being : Day 2
Children.
Sometimes, especially on a college campus, it is easy to forget about children. How care free, imaginative, expressive, loving and bold they are.
Today I got to babysit Talli, a four year old little girl with an imagination that tends to run wild with a different shoe on each foot. Also Rosey, a tiny blond ball of love. They ran around Bethel's Campus with me for hours saying hello to everyone they met. (and those they didn't meet) Those two little girls are some of the friendliest kids I have ever met. Not a shy bone in their rambunctious little bodies. Talli kept running up and down the hall, as if her energy was coming from an endless supply.
To take every day and appreciate the little things.
The walks to class
The sun dresses
The hot coffee
Finished papers
Hands held
Ping pong games
Late night movies
Adventures to the park
To see life through the eyes of a child.
Jesus said “Don’t push these children away. Don’t ever get between them and me. These children are at the very center of life in the kingdom. Mark this: Unless you accept God’s kingdom in the simplicity of a child, you’ll never get in.” Mark 10:14,15

I think that there is an important lesson to be learned.

31 Days of MAY~Being : Day 1
I have 11 days of school left and 22 days until I leave the Twin Cities for the summer and head home to Waverly, Iowa. The next 22 days are going to be crazy. Not only are all of my semester long projects and tests coming up, most of my friends are out of school and have already started their summer.
I thought that this would be the perfect way to keep me sane. Possibly even distract me from the craziness that is going on at BU.
One thing is for sure, the weather is getting warmer so I won't have to worry about finding distraction they will happen whether I want them to or not.
