If you are not aware of my feet disability, please click here to read my previous post about that. This post is more of a personal journal entry, but its one I want to share with my readers.
My left foot has been giving me a lot of problems the past few days. It’s been getting worse and worse every day this week. I think its because of the weather and also because my church has a big drama this weekend and I’ve been working a ton of extra hours on my feet this week getting the lights set for that. But today my left foot actually hurts even if I’m just sitting here.
It’s hard to stay positive when you hurt, know what I mean? I just want to lay down with my foot elevated and feel bad for myself – but I just don’t have time to feel bad for myself. I have to keep going for now. But more importantly, I have to keep my joy.
It’s not my joy, really. It’s more like God’s joy – but he gives it to me. My pastor preached about joy a few weeks ago and one of his points was: “To get joy, you have to take back what the devil stole.”
Here I am, 23 years old yet aching with the joints of a 70 year old (bad feet mess up your leg, hips, and back as well), and today is a “bad day” for my feet. Obviously my temporary crummy circumstances could lead to feeling down; losing your joy — the internal happiness. Discouragement is the easy road to travel – honestly I feel like heading in that direction! This isn’t fun!
But I know my circumstances are completely irrelevant to the love of God which gives me joy.
My circumstances are irrelevant to the Calling God has for me.
My circumstances are irrelevant to living with God’s joy.
