Consider it pure Joy.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. James 1:1-3 And we need perseverance for what? Maturity James 1:4 Character & Hope Romans 5:4 Joy in trials; a sure sign of maturity, character, and hope...all of which for the last 30 days I've laid to my side to selfishly fully embrace each ache, pain, frustration, disappointment, grief and sorrow. To celebrate today because I know our God is still on the throne, to experience joy because it's a gift that comes with my salvation, and to apprehend that Jesus died for me to laugh and love in all moments, this is my prayers request. Join me in belly laughs and unconditional love :)
