So… stick with me while I take us back to high school for a minute…
You know that feeling you get when the boy (or girl) you've had a crush on for months, confesses that they like you? That " I can't contain my excitement, can't stop thinking about it, want to shout it from the roof top and want to jump up and down inside" feeling?
That's how I feel tonight… but its not from any boy. ha.
Its 11pm and I am too pumped to sleep. Anyone who knows me, knows this is not natural for the girl who can't even carry on a legitimate conversation after 10pm on most days, but tonight, I am overwhelmed by the joy of the Lord… by His goodness… His provision…His intimate knowledge of us… His abundant love and grace for us… and His unrelenting ability to meet us right where we are at and raise us up into the calling He has for our lives. The joy rises up and spills over… " I can't contain my excitement, can't stop thinking about it, want to shout it from the roof top and want jump up and down inside". Its that good! It's better than that good…to quote a Candi Pearson song:
"Lord, these are just words and are not enough to contain you… Jesus, just words and could never suffice to acclaim you… Father, just words, and I have so few, I run out too fast to speak them to you. You are indescribable, You are beyond expression. I run out of words for you, I can't think that high."
Thanks for letting me (like you had a choice, haha) "shout" about the greatness of God on this blog since no one is awake right now for me to actually shout it to 🙂
