I have had the frustrating experience recently of working for hours and hours on History Co-op lesson plans for the year and then losing my work through a computer crash. I re-grouped and re-did my work plus much more and went to bed late last night so happy that I had finally finished! I am so very excited for all the plans I have for Cate and Amy's Senior year History class. But my heart dropped this morning when I couldn't find my document again!! I searched and searched and finally found it saved in the wrong file!! I was thanking God for answering my prayers.
I was reflecting on how that is with my spiritual life is sometimes also. One day I am fully charged and passionate and the next day perhaps I get pulled down by the pressures of life and my joy fades or disappears! I have been praying so much lately that God would help my joy to just stay constant, no matter what is happening around me. I don't want my joy to be an elusive entity that can't be found when I really need it!! I also want others to be able to count on me to be a positive influence for the Lord at all times. Lord, help my joy not to escape and be lost to me and others this day......
I finally figured out how to get my comments on all my family member's blogs to publish again! :-) Anyway, thank you for this. I would love any tips you have on how to keep my joy constant and my heart steadfast. I get really easily brought down by the gloom of others, but I want to be a source and fountain of joy no matter what is happening around me.
