..through the years during the ups and downs of normal day to day living, I've had to go in search of 'joy.' Many times it seemed elusive to me and exclusive to others. I'd wonder, "why can't I be happy, satisfied, successful?" In the midst of my search, I found 'joy' lurking within the turmoil combined with all the other emotions I had previously sent packing, like they were being stirred within an enormous pot at the root of my soul. Once I identified that 'joy' came without conviction, that my Lord & Savior had given it to me freely with His gracious love..it became so abundant to me that even in the midst of heartache I could feel the 'joy' welling up inside of me. It is puzzling how we can actually be in pain but feel joy at the same time. Of course, we are women and capable of so much..! God knew what HE was doing when He created Eve with all her ways, complex yet simple. I now look for 'joy' in each day. It's like God has iced a special cake for me each day and I get to take a bite cut especially for me. I'd like to share my cake with you today! ♥

I love what you said! And I love cake...Here are some of my favorite lyrics: "Can't steal my joy! They did not give it, they can not take it away." "They" being anything other than the Lord. He supplies our joy!
