I woke up laughing…

I woke up Laughing

At what I did not know

At what I did not care

Belly Laughs

Silly Giggles

Tears

Bellowing from within

Shaking

Quaking

My being

Awoke

Alive with mirth

I face today

…

Yet I wonder

God

What was the joke?

I did wake up laughing today. In all my years, all my dreams I have never awoken laughing. Today I did. Honestly this joy that is unspeakable is living inside. What is it? How is it possible to feel this joy within?

Unsure I begin my day. Music on, I list gratitudes, plan my day, sit in His presence (20 min of meditation, music). He whispers… Ps. 37:23, Zeph 3:17. I open His word…

Zeph 3:17

The Lord your God is in your midst,

a mighty one who will save;

he will rejoice over you with gladness;

he will quiet you by his love;

he will exult over you with loud singing.

I like this one best, God. I say… go back He whispers…

Ps. 37:23

The steps of a man are established by the Lord,

when he delights in his way;

He whispers to my soul. I delight in you as you delight in your way. No matter how hard, simply delight in me. No worries, no frets. I have you. Delight in me, we got this!

I whisper back: Precious savior, Oh, my soul. I love you with all of me. I rejoice in the sunrise, wind, your whisper, fragrance, creation. I marvel in each moment, savor each day, challenge, knowing You are with me. I will delight in You, my Lord and savior. Thank you for holding my hand, guiding my steps. Filling my soul with mirth, rejoicing over me. We got this!
