Respect

this is the Harrison family word for 2013.  i asked chase to think of a word our family can focus on this year and this was his pick.  respect for one another, respect for our children, our children respecting us and each other, respecting others and most importantly respecting our Father.

another thing i plan to focus on this year came to me this morning while running.  this morning run was horrible.  it was SO SO SO humid and there was NO breeze.  usually after the first 2 miles, i get my in my groove and enjoy the rest of my run.  not today.  at about 3.75 miles, with .25 to go, we had to big hills still to cross.  i told chase that this hill ahead was taunting me.  i decided to just focus on the road and not look at what i had ahead.  to which the Lord spoke to me and said, "exactly amber.  focus on what i have right before you, not on the hills in your future.  i will get you through it all, step by step.  keep your eyes on the now, not on the daunting hills."  so i'm focusing on the now.  not on things that may overwhelm me about the future.  (and though this was an awful run and i never felt good running it, it was still our fastest 4 miles yet at 38:40)
