These things I know for sure…
Today I sit at an indoor recreation center called Amazing Jakes while my daughter and her
friends enjoy this freedom of being able to hang out and have fun in a safe
setting.
And I feel joy.
Joy that I have been able to give this experience to her. Joy that I have raised a son who I have been
able to give similar experiences to.
Healing in those places where I did not feel such joy as a child. I am deeply grateful that we may not have all
the answers to every problem in our lives at this particular moment but we do
experience immense amounts of joy. I experience
incredible joy as a mother, as a wife and a creative, as an entrepreneur and a
teacher.
Here are some things I know for sure:
1.
You have to CHOOSE joy – life has so many
unexplainable tragedies. I have a friend
right now who is helping her two year old son battle cancer. She chooses joy. I have questions in my life over my dad dying
and not being able to see him before he died.
Family members in pain that I have no answers for though I wish I
did. Yet I CHOOSE joy
2, Your life can be FULFILLING – no matter the circumstance.
You got to dig down deep. Sometimes it
take a while to feel that way but you can have a fulfilling life. In the midst of some really difficult
circumstances.
3.
God IS IN CONTROL – Even when I am in the my
most What the Hell is going on state of mind.
But it is my choice to choose joy, create a more fulfilling
life, believe that God is in control.
What about you?
