Run/Walk.

I got a new pair of running shoes yesterday. So, today I broke them in. It's cold outside and the city is becoming my city. Kevin and I ran to Lakeshore, then along it for a while until Navy Pier and just sat looking out at the City.
There is a wrap-around the shore has and trees line these cinematic, long, paved paths to the Shore. Oh, the beauty of God is overwhemling and it felt to good to laugh and to jump and to run and to sit and to walk. Oh, to walk.
We probably travelled about 3 1/2 miles, but it was so worth it. I was sitting and listening to 'How Great is our God' by Bethany Dillon and 'We Fall Down' by Nicole Nordeman. The wind was blowing and I just breathed in Jesus. Kevin was off somewhere, and even if he had been right there, It still would have been just Jesus and I in that moment. Oh, my sweet Jesus.
So, as the wind blows in my city, I warm up and take delight in reading 2 Samuel.
There is nothing I want to do more.
