In the midst of the long hours at work, I look a run along the coast this morning and stopped by the water after a whopping 12 minutes. I had a God moment. Overtaken by my Creators creativity and beauty I was captivated by the crashing waves. I want to WALK with the Lord. I mean really walk with Him everyday. Like hand in hand...him guiding me..me constantly remembering how weak I am without Him. I have struggled since my move to Kona to put God first. I want Him there cause He is where true life resides. He brings peace and purpose into everyday. He REALLY is the only things that truly satisfies and without Him I am M-E-S-S Mess.

Ironman's In Town
This week is the Ironman World Championship here in Kona and has been CRAZY. Triathletes everywhere and I work at Lava Java which is the epicenter of hanging-out for these guys....which means lines out the door for us Lava Java girls. Funny side note... I thought being around the ironman would make me want to do it but...it hasn't. I mean don't get me wrong I still enjoy watching it all and get excited but more than anything I want a healthy balance in my life. A life that is always asking the Lord if I am putting other things before Him or if I am wanting to do something (racing, training, etc) to gain the approval of others.

So I'm starting to blog for a number of reasons. To remember what adventures occur in my life daily while in Kona. To process thoughts and ideas. But mainly for my family... because they want me to. So yesterday I went to the Kona Marathon. I didn't run. In fact, I have been doing the opposite since I got here. I haven't found a place were I actually enjoy running here. The middle of the afternoon is so hot by the water and full of cars on Ali'i. So I found myself on a treadmill in Hawaii last week thinking, what the heck am I doing? No place is perfect. Anyway I biked along cheering people on and providing encouragement thinking to myself, "This is what I want me life to be about"... encouraging others.
