My heart is freeeee!

Just so you are aware, this post was inspired by a really wonderful smelling candle and the sun that is beaming through my window.

These moments do not come around too often, but I know that this feeling I have right now is something I never want to forget.

Friends, I am obsessed with this season of my life.  I am MADLY in love with the people in my life.  I am jumping up and down at the idea of being in a state of transition.  I have the butterflies ALL THE TIME because the God who reigns over all of the Earth tells me I am RIGHTEOUS.  If you haven't noticed the smile that has been plastered on my face all week, then I would like you to picture an ear to ear, mouth wide open, squinty eyes smile and you've got an idea of why my cheek bones have been sore.  

I have never felt so special, so loved, so taken care of, so adored and so desired.  

The joy of the Lord is a REAL thing.  All I want to do is sing and dance and smile and jump up and down and curl up in a ball and sway back in forth.  I was sitting on the edge of my bed this afternoon and became so overwhelmed with every kind of happy emotion, so I stood up and began to jump up and down!  This is the joy I am talking about guys.  You do not have to be happy, but you can CHOOSE to be joyful.  You are the only thing keeping yourself from experiencing this joy!  Right now, get up and jump to the sky.  RIGHT NOW I TELL YOU!

I wish Friday afternoons were a physical thing I could hug, because man do I wish I could just wrap them up in my arms and whisper "thaaaaaank you for being great" in their ear.  Today and tomorrow and yesterday and every other day is PERFECT, because this joy is always offered and always tangible.  Jump to the sky for this joy!  

I am really, really, really excited about life right now.

AND I LEAVE FOR DENVER, CO IN 24 DAYS!!!!! Bring on the new adventures. 

Goodness guys, go get yourself some of this joy.  GO GET IT!
