Pressed down, shaken together, and running over...

"Give, and it shall be given unto you; 
good measure, 
pressed down, 
and shaken together, 
and running over..."
(Luke 6:38) 

Man I love that scripture! 
I love the image of something so chock-full 
that it has to be pressed down and shaken.
Even then it's still running over!

It's a perfect description 
of how I felt on Friday, 



  so completely full of 
immense gratitude, 
squealy delightedness, 
and exhausted relief

that it makes your face jump between 
big splashy eyeball puddles
and smiles so big your cheeks hurt. 

Friday, this handsome wildcat-riding guy 
graduated with his Associates Degree! 


He hasn't graduated High School yet,
still has 4 weeks of Seminary to finish before
that happens next month, but somehow WSU doesn't mind. 

How grateful I am for the many educated, selfless men and women, 


the hard-working friends, 









the scholarships and opportunities 
that have blessed Hunter's life!

There aren't words...

just big splashy eyeball puddles,
achy cheeks 


and a heart willing to help 
the next round of brave souls 
who are walking this road less traveled.
