It's a glorious thing to see that even with some lingering pain beneath the surface, I can choose joy, choose to be at peace. Some days my mind is so broken that I can't pull myself through, but the Lord wraps my mind and heart in His comfort and love, and as I rest and find my body refreshed with sleep and my heart refreshed with prayer. So today I am choosing happy. The joy is deep-seated, and present even in the pain. But today with the absence of too many academic pressures, and the sun streaming through the branches outside, the glimmers of joy through the faces of tiny, precious babies, the mix of orange and green leaves inviting me outdoors... I can choose Happy.
So I am.
Choosing Happy.
Yes yes yes. You really can choose happy. And someday I believe you will be able to choose happy every day. Even if the pain never goes away and the answers never come. Because God does that.
