Choosing Joy

Choosing JOY, Oct 7, 2010

A Journey……..

An unusual “lark” with friends.
An unkind word from a “friend” re: my work history.
A cold reception from a “friend”  re: a job needing to be done.
Disrespect in the classrom.
“Secrets” not shared by “friends”.
Confidences from an unexpected source.
Conviction from the hands of brothers and sisters in the Lord.
The love of a close friend.
Rain outside seeping into my heart.
Repentance and godly sorrow.
An e-mail from a long absent good friend.
Sweet joy mingled with sorrow.
Smiles and many loud cries and sobs.
Rest after the storm.
Deep sighs of healing.
Peace from God.
Wonder at the love and goodness of God.
The journey is over.
Or is it?????
❤

Habakkuk 3
18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

Psalms 28
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

GOD THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH !!!!
