Joy

Friday nights at the soccer field. Five year old is secretly playing with your phone and captures a smile—a smile you have fought for every single day. A smile you wear proudly because you see that God created you to feel joy...right where you are. Some days it feels so far away...and other moments you can see it perfectly. But in each one—He has given you something to smile about. 

There is joy after death, joy after trauma, joy after infidelity, joy after murder. Joy after divorce. And each and every one of us is worthy of feeling joy—through the imperfect, messy, hard, painful, happy, peaceful, chaotic, calm, crazy days we call life.  #fightfor #joy #focusingonjoy
