I turned 20 a week ago and I have never felt so loved and celebrated with all my friends and family. There was so much thought and effort put in. All the details had me feeling deeply cared for. There was a part of the night when everyone started to share our favorite memories, or moments. Yes, I cried. It was an overwhelming experience to hear that many kind words at once with so many different people that have seen me in many different seasons. I felt undeserving and I was in awe of the Lord. I felt the goodness of God and I was so thankful for the people I have around me. He has created us to be in community and my gosh, he gave me a good one.

      While I have been pondering that lovely moment, I started to think that the feeling I have of being celebrated must be so small compared to how God feels when we worship him and give him adoration. The Lord delights in our praise. He is moved by us. That blows my mind. I want to celebrate God every day of life. I want to tell God everyday my favorite things about him. Lord I love when you you speak to me, when you whisper into my heart. My favorite moments with you are when I am alone and I can just weep to you and I feel so comforted. I love when you meet me where I am.My favorite thing is when I can physically feel you and feel that fire in my belly. My favorite realization is knowing I get to carry heaven in my heart. Thank you Jesus. Let's make God feel celebrated today. What are your favorite things about God?
