"...And a sun hat!"

"I decided I wanted A SUN HAT."

Reflecting on my day today, I remembered my conversation with the homie & realized that I probably sounded really ridiculous. It showed in the way she reacted (which was just pure laughter-- like, throwing your head back kind of laughter). Nonetheless, I was convinced that a sun hat would finish off my imagined outfit & quite frankly, it's an accessory I really don't need & will probably never buy. Doesn't it sound fun though? Especially for the upcoming summer days! AH. (P.S. Can I have my camera back? Please? At least take some good pictures while you have it!)

My goodness, it was warm today! I can't imagine how hot it will be in Palm Springs this upcoming weekend. One thing's for sure: it'll be worth it. RESOLVED. Is it okay to be this excited? What about THIS excited? 

You get the gist. I'm pretty much

really, really excited.

The kind of excited that makes you dance around in your room to no music or even the kind that makes you smile in front of your laptop as you think about it. That kind of excited. Have you been that excited? Yeah? Then you just know.

There's nothing quite like sound preaching. Add on to that a room full of people who agree-- like, hundreds! Seriously!-- & will endure 100+ degree weather for 4 days for it. It's easy to want to stay there forever but man, it also pumps you up & makes you want everyone to hear about what you learned! Isn't that what we're supposed to be doing everyday anyway? Shouldn't we be so moved by the Gospel of Jesus Christ that it oozes out of us? Oh, the imagery... but I hope you get the idea. Sheesh, that hits me. My God truly is amazing. This song has been playing in my room & in my head lately. Actually, that whole album. Yeah.  

Rock of Ages, when in want or rest
My desperate need for such a Savior I confess
Pull these idols out from my heart embrace
Rock of Ages, I need Your grace
Rock of Ages, broken, scorned for me
Who am I that You would die to make me free?
To give me glory, You took the death and pain
Rock of Ages, my Offering

This is already a long post, so I apologize. I also wanted to say that I found this recipe & I'm really curious to try these baked goods, although I know that the only thing I do in the kitchen is make breakfast & bake, so I probably want to steer away & work on other foods (especially since this treat is baked AND typically for breakfast). Not too long ago, I wanted to have a cooking party: fellowship time with my sisters while developing some cooking skills! Actually, I just wanna throw a party in general. Invites & pictures & pretty decorations & delicious food...... GAH.

On another note, Micah's spending time with his dad tonight & I think it's freakin' cute. I spent time with my dad today by watching the NBA Finals with him & falling asleep during the 4th quarter. Sorry, Papa! I cooked rice for the family afterwards though... Have I redeemed myself? Haha, happy father's day, folks. (Well, dads.) Good night!
