Romantic lunch for 6. Yep. Me and @fiveguys  – #dadjoke 😉 Get it?! ? The goods are below ??

While it’s been 11 years since I’ve had a Valentine on Valentine’s Day, I can honestly say, this has been the most JOY-FILLED Valentine’s Day I’ve ever had! ?
.
Do I wish I had an actual Valentine who wasn’t my cat or a burger + fries? I sure as heck DO! AND, I’m so grateful that God’s meeting me in this season and really showing me that my truest JOY comes from Him, and Him alone ?
.
This day isn’t the best one yet because of the things or the people who are in it (although I’m so thankful for my friends and the tantalizing aroma of a delicious mocha)! This is that kind of deep-seeded joy that comes from being in His presence. ?
.
The fullness of Joy He promises is absolutely available and let me tell you what! It’s REAL. It’s so good. And there’s nothing and no one that can remotely compare. ?
.
Sis, if you’re really feeling down today, I get it. I’ve been there. And I so wish I could just make all of that sadness go away. Can I just encourage you to let God lavish you with His love. I *promise* that He can fill that void. I’m living proof. ?
.
You are loved, girl. Massively. Wildly. Recklessly. Beautifully. Wholly. ?
.
May this truly be a HAPPY Valentine’s Day – in all the ways!
