Sunkissed

Prior to yesterday, I can only recall ever having a sun burn once; twice, at the very most. Yesterday, though, the sun was so blazing. I could not possibly have been lucky enough to escape the day without being fried up, especially since I chose not to do the sun screen thing. Thinking in my head, I was probably outside, and exposed to sun, for about eight hours total. It was a very long day, yesterday. Although the whole experience was worth the three burns I have, I will definitely need to take better precautions the next time I am outside this long. When I got home after camp, I looked in the mirror and my entire face was all blood red; it kinda looked as if I was drunk. Then after the night ended, I got home to shower before prepping for my devo for this morning. When I got in the shower, and the water started hitting my skin, everything just started to burn; I thought I was in hell. Okay, it wasn't that bad, but the back of my neck took the most damage. You know what? My train of thought was interrupted, so I decided that I'll just deal with it. Haha.

Anyways, I am, apparently, a pretty brilliant person. Because of this sheer brilliance, I got asked to do a devotion for the last day of camps - dealing with choices. I haven't done a real group devo since UrbanPromise from two years ago, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I didn't quite have my voice this morning, but I thought I took on it pretty decently. I wouldn't say it was some of my best work, but it worked, so it works! I know that the way I do devos isn't "typical", and I'm not too sure how people respond to that. I'm not really trying to be different for the heck of being different; it's just how I feel I could show things that is best suited to the style that I flow. So, hopefully, people don't freak out or lose interest when I pop out some random quotes, or start playing a song to start off the devo. If there is usually one thing that people can take away from my devos, even if it's that they should never ask me to do one again, I will be satisfied. Because there is something to be learned from everything, right.

I am also pretty tired right now. I don't think I have ever been this tired during a week of soccer camps in the past. You could probably combine that with the kids camps and VBS' that we've done as well. I don't know, my body just did not have it this week. Luckily my mind was there, so I was still able to chill with some kids for the first time. Hopefully I have at least one lasting impression on a kid. I think I do, so I know my job was done.

I am going to /quit now because I am just going on rambling. I'm known to ramble while wearin' only my sandles. My declaration is warm, so handle it.
