31 Days: 14th day, {Joy}. Happy Sunday to you.  Today is short & sweet, for the purpose of enjoying family. Be blessed in your rest-full day – at least I hope you get to rest in Him lots today.

2] Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.

4] Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

5] If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

6] But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

7] That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

James 1:2-7 (NIV, emphasis mine) The bold/italics are the parts I must keep reminding myself. Over and over. and over again. Especially the believe and not doubt. I don’t want to be considered double-minded or unstable!

Go! Find some joy. Is it in reading a book, going for a walk, looking at pretty pictures, taking pictures? Where do you find joy when you are purposing to find it, regardless of feeling?
