Choose Joy! 😃

Choose Joy instead of sorrow and hopelessness.

I'll be the first to admit choosing joy is not always easy.
Sometimes we'll set our mind to choosing joy but instead we find ourselves falling into the familiar depths of despair.
Those are the times we have go fight the hardest. Fight for joy!
I know how hard it is! Some may even say it's impossible; but remember what Philppians 4:13 says: 'I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.'
 Yeah, it may be hard, but it's worth it. And as long as our joy follows God's will then Jesus will be happy with our happy!  Choose Joy today!
 'May the God of Hope fill you with all Joy and Peace in believing, that you may abound in Hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.' - Romans 15:3

God's Art.

I walked out to the fence where my land stops and my neighbors starts. I was only there to catch the fighting cats, but something else stopped me. It was the beauty. The lovely pond, the wonderful blue sky, and the endless trees and magnificent fields. As I rocked back and forth on  the wire fence, admiring the serene beauty I started to think. This is God's art. I thought. And I'm God's art. I am beautiful because God created me. It's so awesome that God wanted me in this world, that I have a purpose. That God saw me fit to fulfill this purpose in life. Suddenly everything seemed OK. Being behind on school was OK, fighting with my parents seemed stupid and OK, all my worries were so little and stupid. Everything was OK.

His purpose. It's truly an honor 💕 Just

Some see a weed, I see a wish.

Have you ever seen one of these? Well many people call it a weed.  But what I see is a wish.  A prayer really.  Whatever I wish for  I pray about to.  So for me it's a reminder to pray.  Then I just pray about so much more so that "weed"  helps me spend more time with God.  What is it you see? A weed or a wish?

Love, Peace, Hope, Joy.

The words love, hope, peace and joy used to be just words to Me. But after really being depressed and stressed I gave all my problems to God and I'm trusting him to take care of me. The other day I was feeling really bad and I got really mad and upset when some girl was being insensitive about my grandpa's  death. She probably didn't know it but it still hurt me all the same. So anyway I was feeling horrible and I had been fighting with my mom and so I was upset. And then I thought of the song "Something in the water"  by Carrie Underwood. And in the song she talks about giving everything bad over to God and she found love, and strength and now she is changed. So I went in my bedroom,  I fell to my knees,  and I asked God to forgive me for not trusting him when I know I should have,  and I gave him everything. I'm happy now. I am loved by God,  I can hope in God, I get Joy from God and and most importantly to me I have found peace in God. The Lord is my
