חֶפְצִי־בָהּ Hephzi-bah: “My delight is in her”

from chephets: delight, pleasure; hence (abstractly) desire; concretely, a valuable thing; hence (by extension) a matter (as something in mind) — acceptable, delight(-some), desire, things desired, matter, pleasant(-ure), purpose, willingly.

from chaphets: to be pleased with, desire.  A primitive root; properly, to incline to; by implication (literally but rarely) to bend; figuratively, to be pleased with, desire — X any at all, (have, take) delight, desire, favour, like, move, be (well) pleased, have pleasure, will, would.

Let it soak in…that’s how He thinks of me and you.

Oh my goodness…

For some reason, I have had the funniest moments driving in the past few weeks.  I blogged about the changing in the car incident…  At least I think these moments bring a little bit of joy to the other drivers especially when they see me laughing at myself.  Anyway, on to the story.  This morning I had the glorious pleasure of sleeping in because I had to stay late at work for a staff meeting yesterday.  I didn’t have to be at work until 9:30am!!  I left my house at 9, got gas and still got to work by 9:30.   Impressive if I do say so myself 🙂  I took the 280 to 94 way because traffic of course was wonderfully light.  When I get on 94, I have to move over 4 lanes to exit on the right.  So, I start moving over –mind you, I’m ridiculously careful about changing lanes– and I see this other car moving over from the opposite side.  I proceed to freak out thinking that he’s trying to pull a two lane switch and go into my lane as well.  He notices and I notice and then we’re both laughing really hard because he totally was thinking I was going to do the same thing to him!  We proceed to laugh for the next few exits and play the awkward “is he/she looking at me” game.  Needless to say, I like to think this little encounter started his day off a bit better than if he hadn’t had the pleasure of seeing me get really scared.

p.s. I was listening/singing to “Hiding Behind a Smile” by Matt Wertz at the time 🙂
