Monday I realized that this joy thing had actually survived the night. Overwhelming joy despite the circumstances. I was playing phone tag with the IRS, I had a certified letter from them waiting for me to pick up and I didn’t know what that might hold. But it didn’t matter. I had joy.
Monday night, Rachel and I chatted online and reminisced about all God has done for us in the last two months. I wrote:
I am very aware that
He is still working
Still speaking to us
We stand in awe at what He has done lately
and He must be looking at us kinda laughing
saying oh you think that was cool?
just wait
Just Wait!
You see, He has been so real lately that we’ve become a bit like Pavlov’s dogs. We’ve become conditioned to expect good things, answers to prayers we dare not even pray.
“Taste and see that the Lord is good.” Psalm 34:8
Oh yes, I have tasted and now the mere thought of that sweet flavor makes my mouth water.
JUST WAIT!

You are an inspiration…and that should mean something from me because I’m not just some stranger who can cast you in an unrealistic idealized light of your amazing writing…i’ve seen your dirty dishes/lived with you/etc and you are still an inspiration!
Can I get the names of the songs on the Rain play list? We didn’t get a chance to listen to music
You know I already have started my own mix by the same name so I need to beef it up from your awesome songs from your other friends!
