joy...

[michaelpsmith]

I suspect joy is not what we often mistake it for. Perhaps it is not that bubbly emotion we make it out to be. Rather, it may be that sensation which C.S. Lewis describes as a pleasant melancholy that cannot be spoken of except to say that we want more of it

Michael Smith, that made me smile...=) (Um, not because I had to, but because I wanted to.)

I love it.

I know exactly what you mean and I can't get enough of it. It's amazing how long, how wide, and how deep the love of Christ is (Ephesians 3:14-19). My dad always says that joy comes from Christ's love and happiness is what we feel when we put that joy into action.

so cool

That is what my dance in the concert is about. It's been really cool to see it actually come together and learn in each rehearsal more and more what my dance is about. God has used this one silly little dance to open my eyes to so many things. And one thing that I have learned is what joy really is. Oh, and that restless feeling, I have it too. But a very wise woman (Erin Gootee) once said that the most ancient meaning of the word Pilgrim is "those who have highways in their hearts." So we should be restless because we are pilgrims, always following that highway in our hearts to the very end.
