Got Joy?

My sister once told me that our joy is “evidence of God’s goodness.” She was reading this in Acts: “God has revealed Himself by doing good to you—giving you rain for your crops and fruitful harvests season after season, filling your stomachs with food and your hearts with joy” (Acts 14:16-17, VOICE). God shows His goodness to us, by filling our hearts with joy. When you feel joy, that is God at work in your life.

In addition, Jesus came so we could enjoy life and have an abundant (full) life (John 10:10, AMP) and His Spirit gives us joy as a GIFT (Gal 5:22-23). Even so, experiencing joy is a struggle for me sometimes.

Often I see the glass as half-empty. But, I want something better. I want to find joy in the small stuff. Don’t you? In 2014, I decided to take myself less seriously, and I wrote this collection of posts about the journey to listen more, rest, laugh, and live gratefully. I hope it brings you joy! 😉

When the first day of school is also the day your When the first day of school is also the day your firstborn drives herself to college, it’s a lot. We moved her stuff into her dorm last week. Today she got up early to say goodbye to Dad (too early! Not pictured 😂), her brother, her doggo, her piano, and her momma. Before she left, she made blueberry scones to share with her little bro @sjoshlafont —they homeschool and relocated together, went to @westminsteroakmtn together, and have shared a love of music, Legos, superheroes (and villains), Transformers, and so much more. She played my favorite song. She even made banana bread to bring to her new roomie. @graciethenerd You are my little nut brown hare, and I love you to the moon and back. Auburn University is a better place because you are there! ❤️

Also, so grateful for the wonderful school where she spent the last four years—the perfect place to land after years of homeschooling on the move. “For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.” (Ps 100:5) #curatingthegood #graduated🎓 #wisebeyondheryears @graciethenerd @lafonte04 @westminsteroakmtn
