Day 4 (Holistic Health Challenge)

Oh my! What a day. Challenge-wise, an okay day. Not one I'm extremely disappointed in nor am I particularly proud of it. Otherwise, however, it was a nice day. The sun was shining, which always seems to improve my mood. I wasn't particularly in a great mood in the morning only because I had to get up to go to work at the coffee shop, and I'm not the greatest morning person. Not only that, things weren't working when I got there, so that made me a little more upset.

My day quickly advanced from fair to amazing when Paul and I went down to Memorial Stadium on campus to meet for a Bible Study and prayer time. We were late to the Bible Study and as we walked into the skybox rooms, we noticed there were just 5 people at the table. We sat down and began to get introduced to all at the table and it was then that I realized I was sitting at a table with former Nebraska coaching legend, Tom Osborne. And while that was an exciting experience itself, to be able to hear him talk about Scripture and blessings, the real blessing came afterwards.

We met with Marty Everding for a prayer time for Tiny Hands after the Bible study. It was just the three of us...him, Paul and I. This man, Marty, is a phenomenal person. He's so real and so passionate and it's contagious. I absolutely LOVE being around him and listening to him talk (he has an accent, which is an added benefit). We sat at the table together and poured our hearts out together in prayer and I couldn't help but weep. To sit at a table with two men who are seeking the will of God in their lives and to pray together with them was such a great experience! It uplifted my soul and weak heart SO much. I couldn't help but look up and take a photo of Marty praying. I absolutely respect and admire this man!



After our prayer meeting, I addressed my social and physical part of my challenge all in one as I took my dog on a walk with my friend, Denise and her dog, Zeus. The exercise and company was great as always, she never fails to make me laugh. I'm so thankful for her friendship and love being able to spend time with her. We have the same sense of humor, which is kind of a scary thing. And we got quite a few laughs out of the frolicking of our dogs together.



And then, of course, it's the beginning of March Madnesss which is actually MY Christmas. It's the best time of year as far as I'm concerned. I love everything about it and its's going to be a challenge for me to do anything BUT watch basketball for the next couple of days.
