A better point of view.

I guess spending lots of time in the house with various guests really brings out my true colors. I was not the happiest camper and I made sure everyone knew it. I complained about doing things I love to do; cooking and sledding. I can almost see God watching me, just waiting til I stopped long enough to listen to Him. I have so much to be greatful for but I just wouldn't see it. This is much deeper than just cabin fever. I have lived so much of my life surviving. Even when things are great I just survive. I feel God calling me to surrender to the joy of living. To celebrate and begin to thrive. I know I am moving forward on this journey He has called me to and I am no longer content to merely survive. This will not be an overnight change, but there will be change. Starting on the inside with my attitude.
I'm not really into New Year's resolutions so maybe this is a lifetime resolution. I choose joy.

I miss spending time with you and your encouragement of me and my journey toward joy! God has been leading me to live more joyfully for about a year and a half now. I will pray for you and know that you are loved.
