Where has my joy gone?

I have found what is missing. I have found why my attitude has sucked so bad.
I went back and watched the 2 messages we have already had in our series studying the book of Philippians, all about joy.
I have HAPPINESS. But lately, I have lacked joy. My relationship with God was at a halt, and with it was my joy. I am not joyful when I do not have God running 100% of my life.

Ahh finally. I knew it didnt have to do with the fact that I turned 18

I know I have made this comment before, but it's so true; I can always tell in my own personal and spiritual and relational life when I have not been conversing back and forth through God.


I talked about a talk fast and a facebook fast, and I am currently doing both. I am putting a complete end to facebook until further notice, and my talking will cease greatly. i truly feel like this will help me LISTEN more, which is something i need to do. some to people, but mostly just listen to God and what He is trying to say to me.

I ALREADY feel calmer and more joyful, and I gave up facebook an hour ago. i feel like everything isnt as hectic and just go go go go go! i feel like its slowed down already a lot. and i feel peace. peace in knowing I am listening for/to the one person who can give me the right answers.



"When complaining and arguing begin to characterize who we are, when the complaining and arguing begins to affect our perception and our perspective of how we view life, it will always rob us of joy. And it will rob us of joy every single time."
