Being Joyful

Choose joy! Sounds easy doesn't it? Well sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't, but it is a choice and with God we can lead our minds with our hearts.

Three car accidents in four months? Choose joy! Two flat tires in one week? Choose joy! Coworker that drives you nuts, finally no longer working with you, leaving you all the work to do? Choose joy!

After a tough morning, even before I left the house today... I saw a beautiful rainbow and chose joy! Did you choose joy today?!

"Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus." ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, NLT

I love that attitude, its hard to do sometimes, but SO worth it! For the past few weeks, I haven't chosen joy, and I am reeling from the consequences of that decision. But luckily the Lord sat me down just this morning and reminded how beautiful this life and all it includes (even the trials) can be if we JUST focus on His joy!
