I’ve got the JOY, JOY, JOY, JOY down in my heart, down in my heart,
down in my heart! I’ve got the JOY, JOY,
JOY, JOY down in my heart, down in my heart to stay!
I don’t
know whether it’s because it’s the end of the semester or whether I’m remembering
how blessed I am or what, but over the past few days, I’ve just had this
amazing feeling of JOY! I know it’s from
God because there isn’t anything particularly happy or amazing going on in my
life right now. In fact, since exams are
next week, I should probably be stressed to the max! But I’m not.
This past spring was a really low point for me. I was dealing with losing my Grandmother and
some other things going on in my life, and they just really made me question
some things about my life and who I am.
I could feel something change this summer, and God provided me with a
since of renewal. There were moments in
this semester that were really tough, but I survived all of it! Having just had such a low point makes me
want to just savor these joyful moments.
I want to store up this feeling and be able to pull it out when the
times get rough again because I know they will.
I am thankful to have a relationship with the giver of ultimate joy and
peace!
