My Armor....

I am in gratitude for the opportunity to be clothed in joy. I wear joy like an armor that repels the negativity, drama and peace stealers. By remaining in joy it not only allows these patterns to bounce off me it provides a model for what is available regardless of the circumstances we are in. Joy is a choice. Every one of us have had unfair things happen to us. It is written In Isaiah that ..."God want to give us beauty for our ashes, joy for our mourning..."  Ashes represent our broken dreams, our wounded spirits, our disappointments, hurts and failures. We can either wallow in them and keep heaping them over ourselves or we can let them go like dust in the wind..... Those ashes will blow away if we let them and make room for more joy than we can fathom. Are you carrying around those old ashes like an urn in you soul today? Can I encourage you to open your heart and your spirit wide and let the wind of change blow through those places. Join me in joy and live the experience you were created for.
