A Review - One Call Away: Answering Life's Call With Unshakable Faith (Brenda Warner)

Wow.  An amazing read.  This book takes readers through the life of Brenda Warner.  Brenda is most known as the wife of NFL Football Star Kurt Warner.  But, as she will describe in her book, Brenda is so much more than that.

I couldn't put this book down.  I am not one for biographies so when I selected it, I wasn't sure what I was in for.  She captured my attention from the start.  Her book is warm and from the heart.  The experiences are unique to Brenda; however her emotional ups and downs are not foreign to any woman.  We all find ourselves at similar crossroads between the life that we think we want and the life that God wants for us.  Brenda lives her life open to this call and it has taken her many places she never expected.

As a football fan, I was aware of Kurt Warner and that he was a pretty philanthropic guy; however, I had no idea about the story behind the story.  Reading experience after experience and then watching Brenda as she tries to make life a little better for others by thinking about what she would have wanted from others in that situation shows amazing strength and resolve to do God's will. 

I absolutely recommend this book.  I learned a lot about myself as I read and formed my own thoughts on each situation in perspective to my own life.  I thank Thomas Nelson and the people at BookSneeze for allowing me to select a book that I may not have otherwise chosen.  I also thank Brenda for taking the time to share this amazing story.  The lessons in here are life changing and have showed me a renewed faith in God's plan for my life.

Week 1 .. Done!

I can't believe that Wednesday marks the beginning of week 2 already.  I feel like I was just telling Liz that I had this idea for a running challenge and shabang...here we are starting week 2!  And people are doing it with me! I logged 10.5 miles in Week 1 (starting off a little ahead never hurts :)).  Overall I felt good about getting the miles in, but I am having a pain in my knee when I run longer than 3 minutes at a time so I am doing mostly intervals.  I think it is my IT Band...I know this is pretty common, but it stinks to have pain.  Anyone have any good suggestions for IT Band therapy.  I have heard of using a foam roller, but have no idea how to use one or even what to buy...suggestions?? Liz has also given me a great idea to do a badge or something to mark progress on this quest.  I am thinking of something, but haven't had much time to devote to it.  I like the idea...what about anyone else doing this journey with...

I am going to do what?!?

In the past 5 years I can be quoted as saying: "I am NOT a runner" "I HATE to sweat" "I will NEVER run" "I was a swimmer, I never ran growing up, I am sure that is why my joints just won't work for running." Let me warn you now, when you hear yourself things like this, just pretend it its "opposite day" because the likelihood of those proclamations holding true is pretty much non-existent. This past year, I have found myself running 2 5k events, run/walking a half marathon, finding a running training plan to work on speed of all things.  I really can't believe how much I actually look forward to working out...and how much my day changes when I don't. On days I work out, I am happier, have more energy, feel better rested, am a better parent and wife and have a desire to live out God's will for my life. When I don't work out...well, let's just say it is not pretty.  Nothing is on time, I am short fused...
