It IS okay to NOT be okay!!! so simple...we are never going to be OK until we are HOME:) earth is full of sin and everything else...we are going to have constant struggles...and struggles are good...when you lean on Christ you come out of them stronger...even though they are continual, new and some easier than others:)))
isnt it funny how you can listen to a sermon and pick up on something that so seems to speak to you:))) like straight from God!!! Matt had a GREAT sermon but this line seemed to stick w/ me...
so funny how the world seems to tell you something different...like you NEED this and ok to WANT that...like that is going to make you happy??? he talked about how happpiness comes and goes but JOY is from God...noone can take away JOY...it is a gift:))) I guess this is my biggest struggle right now; thinking i should always be happy...like i am failing if i am not happy and have a smile on face always...like i am not suppose to have struggles...but that is not truth...thankfully i saw a difference b/w joy vs happiness....anyway this may not make any sense but it touched me today!

Hey girl...thanks for this reminder. My husband preached on this a while back and I LOVED it too. We often forget that JOY and happiness are VERY different things!
