Lets see. How do I even begin to explain the week I've had? Let alone life. lol.
It's Friday and so far this week..I have no vehicle, no liscense, no cell phone, and now we have no air. And it's hot in here.
BUT I tell ya what. It seems like I should just give up right? I mean why not? I'm pretty sure my family's wrote me off as a loser and a failure years ago. I could sit back and pout. Or even better, stress out about it all.
See what my family doesn't know is that I have hope. I have abundant joy. I'm overflowing with mercy. Definitely not from them, but from my heavenly Father. And not to mention my R2 family. I realize that yeah...my life sucks right now. BUT there are many others out there who are a lot worse off than I. My life could be a lot worse than it is.
It's hard to explain to people who don't trust in God, that joy comes in the morning. It comes in the afternoon. It comes when your truck is being towed away. It comes when your family trashes you.
Why? How can I have joy?
Because I serve a mighty God. And I know His promises never fail me. I know He loves me unconditionally. And even better I know He has a plan for me.
This "life" is so temporary. The downs are only temporary. So the enemy can try all he wants. Throw what he wants at me. But HE IS NOT TAKING MY JOY!
So when does joy come?
All the time!
I am so proud of you, Jennifer.
