It's All About the Joy, No Sorrow

I don't know where this came from, but the other day, I just blurted out, "It's all about that joy, no sorrow." I know that Meghan Trainor's song has been over-done in recent months and that a lot of people are sick and tired of it. I still like it; it simply has a cute, catchy beat and I can't help but enjoy the song itself. The rhythm just works with so many different thoughts and ideas as the vast number of parodies on youtube show us.

But it's the words that matter more than anything. God is working in my heart through my study on JOY and I simply want to follow what He is doing in me. I still lose my temper. I am still prone to depression. I still have days when I am so sad, I simply don't want to get off my couch. I still wonder how I am going to make it through just one more day.

The miracle, though, is that those days are fewer and farther between my joy-filled days. I LIKE the joy-filled days. I like myself when I am full of joy. I do NOT like myself when I am struggling. I can't imagine that those around like me very much on those days, either.

I had thought that maybe God was going to give me a new focus for 2015, but I it looks like I am simply going to continue focusing on Joy for at least one more year, if not longer. I am very okay with that.
