Guilty

I'm guilty of over-emoting. A trait that I've despised for years. haha
Today I realized, excessive reflection/introspection is the same as excessive emoting. Guilty as charged.

Moving on..
This weekend was cool! I spent the Night Friday with family :)
Saturday went to the beach in La Jolla since IB is polluted (still/again)
It was warm and full of people. The best people, obviously, were the ones I was with.
How lucky am I?
Then we ventured to Sprinkles Cupcakes (woohooo!).
Overall they were no sweet genius, but it was cute and fun.

I treasure free time and family SO much. So I am very thankful for that.
Then I joined some old college friends. hahah
We talked about Hunger Games and Depravity.
And weddings.. (Because they're pretty much ALL getting married in the next 3 months)
We ate fro yo, exchanged accessories and planned the next time we'd hopefully get together
and maybe (hopefully) a weekend of camping in the Grand Canyon soon. I sure hope so!

This morning, I dragged myself to church. and was blessed.
Emeal Zwayne (EZ) with Living Waters ministry was preaching today as my Pastor is out of town.
He talked about passing the torch/parenting/leading our children.
I cried. guilty of over-emoting..again.
I feel so passionately about parenting and guiding youth/kids to treasure Christ.
I desire so much to have my own children. To plan discipling them. To discipline and love and serve them to the glory of God.
I have children though now. and for that I am/was even more thankful and blown away.
I have 15 two year olds daily. I have kids that are like little brothers and sisters and nephews and nieces to me. I have random kids that follow me. I have youth that get to teach regularly.
If it's not for the glory of God to proclaim the sweet excellencies of Him then what's the point?

Encouraged.Rebuked.Challenged all at once. Soooo thankful to be reminded of vision and purpose and passion when Jesus is at the center.

I bought the CD. I have no idea how to post the audio here for you sorry. but if you want to borrow it, let me know.

I graduate next Saturday.
I'm counting my blessings and so overwhelmed with joy that Christ cares for me, that I am His friend and treasure and a vessels that He uses.
wow.
