inexpressible and glorious joy

Yesterday I discovered the joy of being where GOD wanted me to be.
It coincided with where I wanted me to be, which made it even more beautiful.

That's basically how I felt about it too!

Except I wasn't very verbal about it. I smiled so much. My face felt like it was going to break and it made it hard to sing [my lips couldn't form the words because they were preoccupied with making a huge smile].

It was like this:
"These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls."
I Peter 1:7-9

Dear Nadine,

Thank you for smiling so hard and passing your joy on (even if sometimes it felt like you were laughing at me) I can't wait for heaven!

Love,
Amy
