For this I find Joy

Missing you today and every day my sweet girl.

I’ll be honest… I’ve been struggling with all sorts of emotions – anger, sadness, jealousy, anxiety, fear, and the list goes on. But I’m learning that on the days that I run to my Heavenly Father and ask Him for help, He gives me the gift of Joy. Joy that I will see my daughter one day and spend eternity with her. I can’t wait to hear her say “mamma!” for the first time. Joy that my baby girl is safely in the arms of Jesus where there are no tears, no sorrow, and no pain. And Joy that even while going through this deep valley, my faith is getting stronger and my relationship with God is getting more intimate. He see’s me. He hears me. His plans are for me. And he has goodness in store for me. For this I find Joy. “Consider it pure JOY, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” James 1:2-4
