Delightful

"You are about to embark on a most delightful journey"

So I don't usually believe in fortunes and stuff, but cracking open my fortune cookie tonight after a marvelous dinner with my friends I couldn't help by look up at Jesus and smile, and giggle a little to myself.

A journey, eh? It's funny that I just started this trip, this path towards getting to know Jesus better and getting to know myself and my worth and my purpose through His eyes and then His encouragement is "Delightful".

It's like when my bible fell open to the passage in Zephaniah - "I will take great delight in you". Delight is something I believe God is trying to show me.

You know how when someone you know or love or even just met and they are sooooo excited about something that they just can't stop talking about it. And how in hearing them speak, you become excited for them and with them. That's kind of how I'm getting right now. I am looking forward to this season of just loving Jesus and having the opportunity to intentionally draw closer to Him and work at that, but at the same time I know it's going to be a challenge. Maybe not this week. Maybe not next. But a year is a long time to go without something that you are being told from all sides you need in your life and you should be actively pursuing. Instead - I am actively pursuing my first love. And the thing that is making me super excited about it right now is His excitement. I mean look how many times Delight has shown up in my world in the past 24 hours, not to mention hearing it in songs or verses coming to mind. He is soo Delighted to be going on this journey with me. And I am so happy I've embarked.

Pray for me as I continue. As I walk intentionally after Him for the next 361 days, and prayerfully, everyday beyond that.
