#truejoy

Replenishing my mind and soul from a weekend that utilized some of my favorite talents and left me happily exhausted. I love the talents that God created in me. They are truly my joys and blessings wrapped in one. By the way it’s ok to admit we have talents. And to acknowledge our skills and to use them. God created them in each of us. When we can see this the opportunities and joys are limitless. So tonight I’m enjoying a hot cup of soup, sitting&knitting, catching up on hydration and AC lol. Happy Sunday evening friends. #sitandknitforabit #talents #creativity #dowhatyoulove #calledtoserve #knitting #ilovegreen #wool #exhausted #truejoy #agoodday #celebrationoflife #hellofriends #guthealthjourney #guthealthmatters #achesandpains (at Salem, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfSut_FFZlm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I say, the pain is easy to@write. The joy is what challenges my pen. But the last few months have been so tough my pen has run out of ink. *. *. *. So today, my first real day off to enjoy in a long time... I asked myself what do I need most? Joy is the answer. Free of worrying about the world or other people. Joy all for me. *. *. *. The next question, what can bring me that detached joy? *. *. *. My love for taste and the art of food making has always brought me joy. The adventure of eating is one like no other. You can taste and ferl@like you’re somewhere you’ve been a million times and feels like home. You can taste like your a million miles away from home but know you’re still connected to someone. Taste can’t be captured by words or pictures. It’s an experience that must be felt first-hand. You have to be a participant to get true joy from it. *. *. *. So today I did a local foodie tour. I went to@places I’d always wanted to go and never been and I went to places I loved and missed since COVID. And for the first time in a long time I simply had a joyful day! *. *. *. Find your joy and go out and grab it. Don’t wait for it to come to you. Sometimes the challenge of writing it was worth the pure joy of it. * * * #jsydswritings #truejoy #findjoy #foodietour #selfietime https://www.instagram.com/p/CF3cutIBTcP/?igshid=1gm7urksffjw3

When joy is lacking, check yourself... "What joy overwhelms everyone who keeps the ways of God, those who seek him as their heart’s passion!" Psalms 119:2 TPT https://bible.com/bible/1849/psa.119.2.TPT . . . . #GodsWord #thatswhathesaid #myGod #mylifewithJesus #truejoy #overwhelmingjoy (at Ponca City Life Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAqRA16AP-0/?igshid=1q67zdwdenoh8
