Five Minute Friday: Delight!

Every Friday, lots of bloggers write for five minutes flat- whatever comes to mind, and no editing. Then we link up together to encourage each other. This friday, the topic is delight. (Last week was trust and the literal sound from my mouth was "HA!" But just now, when I saw the word delight, my insides said, "SQUEE!" Here is the "official" place, the idea of it.

So, are you ready?
set,
go!

Delight! Now that is something I can write about. Sometimes I don't do Five Minute Fridays because the topics just remind me of ways I'm not succeeding. Lies, I know. But that's not the point. Today is about delight! About the blue sky and the gorgeous sunrise and sunset, each of which I got to walk in. Delight. About the spiritual conversations I was privileged to have today without even trying. They weren't life changers, well, I don't know I guess, but they were delightful. I was delighted to get to talk to each of those girls about spirituality, and share, even as I sounded crazy, that I love Jesus. I am in love with Jesus. That is delight. Standing in line for food in a public place- a university, telling my friend that I am in love with Jesus. It just came out. Delight is the simple things. Watching my friend get proposed to last night. Looking at the stars as I walked back to my room. Smiling. Running with a friend. Skipping. Learning a shortcut through a building that is notoriously maze-like. Giggling at something only Jesus understands. Realizing my soul is awake. Dreaming about pastel colors and a little boy. Dreaming about talking to people about Jesus. That is delight. de-light. Even the word sounds delightful in my mouth. I'm giddy right now. I suppose if I were sad I would have a different view of delight. But right now, delight is this day. All these beautiful- stop- things.

thanks for reading!
