It is the last day of January. This year is already flying by yet has already been a fantastic year. I took a challenge to be without social networking for a while. There were times when it was very difficult. And also times where I was so pleased that I was not "in the know" about everything going on.
This weekend has been a blast. I spent the day on Friday interviewing applicants that applied for the FOCUS program at school. I love the interviewing process because it allows me to get to know some of the students at school that I have never crossed paths with before. Getting to know their hearts and passions is a lot of fun. Friday evening I went to Taco night at Brooklyn's for her 22nd birthday. this is my 3rd birthday of Brooklyn's that I have been able to spend with her. She is truly a blessing and one of my best friends and sisters in Christ. She is always so encouraging and has a heart for people that is so genuine and loving. We spent the evening just hanging out with our good friends, laughing and ofcourse- eating delicious mexican food and yummy mint birthday cake :D
Saturday morning Kayla, Ashleigh (one of my Focus students) and I jump started our day by hiking to the top of Mt. Rubidoux. What a FUN time that was. Talking about the Lord, our lives, and our futures. We reached the top and read Psalm 37 and just had a truly enjoyable time. We ended our time with a reward of Starbucks :) I mean...duh! :)
Kay and I spent the rest of the day getting our nails done, shopping, eating Wendy's Chili, and baking for Katie's graduation party. We also watched "Freedom Writers" which by the way- is a GREAT movie!
Saturday evening was spent at the Herman household- eating wonderful food, chatting with new and old friends. and jumping on the BOUNCER :)
This morning church was SO good. Pastor Chuck spoke on Matthew 5:5
Blessed are the gentle(meek), for they shall inherit the earth.
Being meek is a quality that Jesus had while He was on earth. It does not mean being incapable, just simply means having power but controlling it and being trained by the Lord. There are times in our lives when we are not going to be happy- in fact, we get angry. But happy is the one who is angry at the right time and not angry at the wrong time.
But one thing that stuck out the most to me at church today was about my future in being a wife to my husband. I know I don't have to wait to follow this until I am a wife, I need to be following this now, but I hope and pray that someday I can be a wife like this:
"Your adornment must not be merely external-braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; But let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. "
1 Peter 3:3-4
Be blessed!
And you are starting b90x! Right?! :)
