Encouraged

There is not one specific thing I can point to in my life right now but I am incredibly encouraged that my path will only increase in joy as my life progresses. That being said, I want to try to explain this joy I feel. 

- like your favorite song on the radio right when you need it

- like the best, longest hug from your favorite person

- like a free item at your favorite establishment 

- laughing with (or at) your best friend

- knowing that the path you are on will be for your best interest no matter how many storms you face

- like your favorite weather all the time

- like your favorite outfit all the time

These are a few things that normally make me smile. Now combine all of those things and imagine the joy and happiness one might experience with that combination. 

I think for the first time in my life I have been able to experience true joy as God intended for it to be experienced. Man. This is one amazing feeling. I hope it never goes away.
