Joy... or something like it.

 I was listening to a song this week called “Fun” by Rend Collective. 

Best verse ever. 

“You are the fun in my life, you are the joy you are laughter inside and I want more.”

I don’t know if it’s this darn pandemic that has made communing so hard but I feel like I haven’t laughed in a while I really miss a good group of friends where the joy and laughter filled the space. I feel like I’ve forgotten how to have fun and be joyful. Maybe this pandemic has just forced me to look deeper as my regular routine has been shattered. 

I’ve asked myself lately where I’m recharging from. What’s the thing that’s grounding me I think it plays a big role in my life to how joyful I am. There are so many places so many empty wells that seem like real options. Jeremiah 2:13 seems to be talking to me directly right now I have abandoned the well of living water and dug my own. Heck I even pay a monthly subscription for some. I don’t know exactly what to do but I know that something needs to change if the joy that I’m looking for is going to come back into my life. 

My personal commitment is to spend more time in prayer and praise and more time investing in relationships and less time checking likes and the latest release on my phone. 

In the immortal words of the great philosopher Buddy the Elf.
“The best way to spend Christmas cheer is to sing a song for all to hear.” 

So sing a song, dance a jig, or laugh out loud. 

I don’t know if anyone who will read this feels the same way.

I hope this helps but either way...  

This is... life as I see it.
