The picture above so perfectly fits and describes my story—uphill, downhill, round and round, exciting, and scary, bright spots and dark spots. My “joyful journey” has sometimes been an amazing thrill ride and sometimes just a big downward spiral! But, the emotional, mental, and physical struggles are all part of the story, and through it all, I see clear reflections of God’s amazing grace.

Think on These Things

Yesterday was delightful! But, what about today?
  • Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
  • Always be full of joy.
  • Don't worry about anything.
  • Pray about everything.
  • Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done.
  • If you do this, you will experience God's peace . . .
  • Focus all your energies on this one thing: forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead.
  • Live clean, innocent lives as children of God in a dark world full of crooked and perverse people.
  • Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do.
  • In everything you do, stay away from complaining and arguing.
  • Keep putting into practice all that you learned . . .
  • Remember: I can do everything with the help of Christ who gives me the strength I need.
  • Whatever happens, may the Lord give you joy.
(All of this comes from the Bible--the book of Philippians, the New Living Translation. Check it out for yourself.
