Disney World - Happily Ever After
Let's take a moment and talk about the Magic Kingdom. I rarely take time to debrief, but after last Saturday, I had one of the most powerful experiences that I have had since I have moved down to where I live now. It could be that it is just a magic kingdom or it could have been God grabbing my heart. At least five times during the day and the resulting show later, I got choked up. During the show, like twice, I got teary-eyed.
I am not going to get into the details of Happily ever after because words will not do it justice. To summarize, the quality of the show dwarfs most if not all of the fourth of July fireworks displays I have seen. The timing was perfect. The show flowed flawlessly from beginning to end. But, some of the stuff cut me right through the heart. In an action movie sense: I was already down and bleeding (emotion) and then the climax of the show killed me. The people around me were probably making fun of me, because I know I had tears running down my face more than once.
If you have been paying any attention to some of the stuff I have been posting lately, you know that I am in the middle of trying to find who I was several years before I started blogging. Before I started blogging, I was probably one of the happiest people you would ever meet. But then through a series of circumstances, I lost the joy and was just going through the motions of life. I would smile when I was talking to my friends, but deep inside, that joy was starting to decline. At least until now.
In a sense, I feel that Magic Kingdom was just what I needed (or an answered prayer) for me to understand that I was in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing. Disney world helpped me reinstall the joy that I had been lacking. Now it is just about maintaining it and following through.
