I wish I could put into words the pure joy bubbling out of me today.
I have had to learn painfully that joy should never be derived from present circumstance.
But.
In having learned that, I have learned to worship and let myself be completely lavished upon by the Lord in all circumstances.
And today, is one of those days where I know everything is a beautiful gift.
I’m bubbling over with gratitude and joy of the Lord’s pursuit of my heart.
Perchance it began with cloudless, sunny vast blue sky expanding over my life.
And His pursuit continued into an eighty degree summer day mid-winter.
Followed by a free extra shot of espresso in my already espresso-filled Americano.
Only to be carried on in eavesdropping on two people laughing over the love the Lord has in bringing them together as friends. (That one especially tickled me!)(That was also an especially awkwardly worded sentence. Good).
And a traffic-less, perfectly moving highway on the way to my dentist’s office.
And beautiful blossom-filled roads… Nature seems to know it’s time to do its post-nap yawn and begin to wake up from a chilly slumber!
And the sight of the world passing by in the reflection of my Aviator’s.
And finally having Jonathan David Helser’s Endless Ocean on my blasting in my car speakers.
…which is still on repeat.
Really, it’s just one of those days where I want to explode from the joy and the goodness of my Maker.
It’s days like these that make me wonder how I ever could have not known His love.
And days like these that make me dance that I get to gloriously waste my life pouring His love out on others as He gushes it on me.
Truly:
There is NO END TO THE AFFECTION YOU HAVE FOR ME.
In the meantime, I am going to be transitioning to a new website soon where I’ll blog, keep you posted on all the plans for the future as they unfold, and even sell my arts and my craftiness. Be on the lookout!
