Welcome to 10 Days to an Encouraging Work-Out Playlist: Day 2 A half-marathon is a challenging but exciting 13.1 miles; even when running through Disney parks, there are moments of great discouragement. One of the songs on my running playlists that helps me battle discouragement is Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger.” I know, I know, its not…
Work out playlist Day 1: Undignified by Warr Acres

10 days to an Encouraging Work-out Playlist
I am by no means a fitness guru. My fitness goals consist of getting to the gym habitually… no weight loss, no “mile in under 10 minutes” goal… just hoping to build a habit. Still, one thing I’ve got going for me is my AWESOME playlist-making skills. My workouts are not just a kick-in-the-butt; they…

Active prayers for your husband: Parts 3-4
Yesterday I posted 2 ways that I am working toward actively praying for my husband.
