Woohoo! I'm not going to miss this friday! So here's what we do. We write for five minutes flat, no editing, just whatever comes to mind. The word to begin with today is unexpected.
go!
We are told to come expecting. But sometimes, He hits me with marvelous, unexpected things.
It's not about the feelings. But sometimes, He fills me with delightful joy and wonder.
Like yesterday. It flurried. Snow is my absolute favorite. I love everything about it- the quiet around it as it falls, the way it looks, the way it tastes, smells, feels. I love it. So I was walking in the snow to class, with Zoe Keating cello music in my ears, and the first thing that came to mind was, "Jesus is serenading me with snowflakes!" and all of a sudden I was giddy, like a little girl, and so totally in love. I skipped a bit. I held out my hands to the sky and felt the tiny prick of ice.
It was delightful. That's not even the word for it. Because in that moment, I was completely at peace.
This is all I want.
and from one unexpected gift of snow in November, one unexpected burst of giddiness, I was reminded that I have all I want. (Or will, when I give Him the time it takes to build this.)
this is all i want!
12 seconds left, but I'm done.
stop. timed to Zoe Keating's "Optimist."
Such a sweet blessing! We had a tiny bit of flurries yesterday here too.
