people usually associate me with that. i associate me with that. joyful anything, i love it.
i think the whole joy thing gets misunderstood. being in a good mood doesn't mean it's joy.
am i in a good mood all the time. noooooooooooooooo. if you work or have lived with me you so know this.
i've had my share of bad days and no matter what my opinion is, people still use joy to describe me. how the??? at first i didn't understand.
don't these people know me? don't they know that i'm not perfect and that i can be such a jerk at times??
how can you say i'm joyful?
and so this is what i've figured out thus far....joy is more than a smile, a laugh...it's an overall ingredient of your character.
i hate bad days. don't you? i hate losing. i hate being embarassed. i don't enjoy interacting with rude people. i don't enjoy not having friends. i hate the traffic in florida.
i've expressed my dislike for the things that are outside my comfort zone. but the neat thing is that i have the choice to allow these things to shape me or break me. maybe both. but basically, joy develops when we endure through tough stuff. romans 5:3-5 check it out.
joy costs. it's not free. so that's where my joy springs from. i'm a messed up girl who's now redeemed moment by moment and lives to tell about it.
