As I stepped out of my office today to go and run errands, I was reminded of something. The fresh beautiful air made me smile. I was filled with peace and calmness. I had this feeling of joy. It was pure absolute joy! I started thinking back on my life. I thought of those moments that I was thrilled and had excitement to the bones. Some of those moments are brought out through events or people.
I recall my first time working with Project Transformation. It was crazy. I had never done anything like that. I was going completely on faith. I really didn’t know much about the program. All I knew was that we worked with kids and lived all together. It was scary. I didn’t know a soul. I was excited for it though. Once I got there, I became at ease. It is so hard to jump out on blind faith.
Then as I progressed through it to different positions, each time, I remember the joy and energy I had for the program. I remember the good and the bad, but mostly the good. I also remember more vividly when I first found out about getting the job at Wesley. As soon as I hung up the phone, squeaks and squeals were released. What a relief! What a joy!
Then my first day…first week…first month….everyday was an adventure. There was, is, so much joy in being here.
I was reminded with all these feelings as I left the building for a little while. I remember the excitement and energy that was just exploding out of me. I stopped to wonder…why does it take an event or a person to bring out such joy.
Matthew 21:1-11, The Triumphal Entrance of Jesus, I think of all those people and the joy they must have felt; the anticipation, the exhilaration, the joy. If I had been there I think I would have felt those feelings the rest of my life. What an amazing feeling of knowing and seeing the Messiah.
Each and every day, we shall live with such anticipation. Each moment should be enthralling and blissful. We shall live with the elation of seeing Jesus enter in on the donkey and colt.
