Last year around this time, I did a little bit of a year-in-review complete with a handful of my dids and didn'ts for 2008. Don't have much of a review for this year... for the most part, it seems to have been utterly consumed by school. As I look back, the highlights of this year were mostly little things.
... an hour here or there in the company of a friend
... a breath of fresh air, by bike or foot
... recognition of a few unexpected fellow travellers
... the opportunity to show love through creativity
... the rhythms of liturgy
... the hard questions of messy ministry
... little gestures of love & commitment from my amazing husband
... God's steady invitation to become awake and alive with him
My desires for this coming year haven't really changed...
I want to listen well.
I want to love well.
I want to work hard.
I want to play hard.
I want to rest when I rest.
I want to give... life, encouragement, time, money, creativity.
I want to trust... God, my husband, my friends, myself.
And this year, I want to run a marathon. :-)

Hi Liz, It was good to read this, I love your heart. And those sound like good goals.
Hey if you want a warm up, I am doing the colfax half marathon...maybe we could do some runs together... (I won't go longer than 13 though...I checked my marathon box a couple times, and have no intention of doing it again ;) )
Jaim.
