I can say with confidence, JOY IS FOUND IN THE LOWEST VALLEYS. 

If there’s anything this year has revealed to me, it’s this: God does His deepest work in the middle of the hardest seasons.

This season has been heavy, the kind that tests everything. Yet here we are.
Still choosing one another and trusting God. 
We are Learning how to hold space for each other’s hearts, especially when it would be easier to guard our own.

Rejoicing in the trial isn’t denying the pain.
It’s refusing to shut God out of it.
Joy is how we surrender control and let Him take over. God doesn’t heal by rushing us past the pain or frustration of circumstances.
He heals by meeting us in it. By softening what fear hardened and teaching us how to love and live without self-protection.

We’ve have fought spiritual battles I never imagined, and still there has been joy.
Not because it was easy, but because we chose to see God’s faithfulness in the middle, the trial did not define us. We’re not perfect.
But it’s a sacred choice, It’s Holy. And it’s a daily choice.

We lay out lives at the feet of jesus again and again. Trusting Him to guard what we cannot, heal what we don’t understand. 

My encouragement for you today:
consider it joy, not because of the trial, but because of what God will produce through it.
Lean in with everything and let Heaven crash tackle your heart where joy can overwhelm your every being. 🤍
