two hard weeks

Last week was hard.  This week is stressful too.  So much is going on and the deadlines are pressing in and the result is  . . . well . . . tiredness and stress.



A dear friend of mine keeps reminding me (by reminding herself) that God's joy gives us strength.  She gets this wisdom from Nehemiah 8:10, "Don't be dejected and sad, for the joy of the LORD is your strength!"

Joy--the joy of the Lord--is something I need to cling to right now.  Isn't it good to know that when things don't seem to be "joyful" by all rational logic--there is still a joy that can be had through the filling of the Spirit? 



May the joy of the Lord be our strength today!
(Go on now . . . sing that song, you know you want to!)
