Don’t you just love/hate when you have such an amazing feeling you can’t explain in words or get out? I’m not sure if that made sense, but you have such an incredible feeling you just have to dance, scream, yell, sing, jump, skip, hop and just rejoice? I’ve been like that a lot lately and I don’t know what to do other than praise God. It’s amazing how God will speak to you. For example right as I started writing this post the song I was listening to switched to “You Are My Joy” Here is what it says
———————————————–
And He set me on fire, and I am burning alive.
With His breath in my lungs I am coming undone.
And he set me on fire and I am burning alive.
With his breath in my lungs I am coming undone.
And I cannot hold it in and remain composed.
Love’s taken over me and so I propose the letting myself go.
I am letting myself go.
You are my joy.(x4)
And He set me on fire, and I am burning alive.
With His breath in my lungs I am coming undone.
And He set me on fire, and I am burning alive.
With His breath in my lungs I am coming undone.
And I cannot hold it in and remain composed.
Love’s taken over me and so I propose the letting myself go.
I am letting myself go.
You are my joy. (x4)
I need to catch my breath, I need to.
I need to catch my breath, give me a moment now.
You are my joy.(x4)
I’m laughing so hard
And I’m laughing so hard
And I’m laughing so hard

So I think that this song perfectly explains what I’m feeling as of late. That is, it explains as well as it can something that cannot be expressed in words, music, dance, song, or anything alone. It is an amazing feeling, the best, and yet torture at the same time. It’s like I’m burning alive, with love for God. This once again reminds me of one of my favorite verses in the Bible.
2 Samual 6:14
“David wearing a linen ephod, danced before the LORD with all his might.”
That is what this feeling is… Crazy, uncaring love. As another David Crowder Band song goes “And I will become even more undignified then this”. I feel like a river overflowing with life and I can’t control it…hmmm yet another Bible Verse.
John 7:38
“Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.”
So I’m sorry if I go crazy on you in the next few days, or randomly start running through the halls of school. I’m just full of joy, yet I’m sitting on my computer. Why? Hopefully so you read this and get something from it. My prayer today is for you to experience this feeling.

I love this feeling and love it when it overflows from me. It’s been awhile since feeling this but thankfully I get to live with you so a little of what you are feeling may rub off on me. Maybe if I hug you a lot, hmm?

I know EXACTLY what that feeling is… sadlly enough, I havn’t felt it in a while, BUT I LOVE THAT FEELING! I got it alot at IYC, I felt so close to God it was abosolutly AMAZING!
I can’t really describe it, I think you did a good job of describing it, but its like, I can’t really concentrate on anything else in the world at that moment, exept for God. And its the best feeling ever.
OH and I absolutly love that song…. I need to find my CD w/ that song on it.
