Joy Snatchers

Some of my joy snatchers include:

social media comparison (comparison in general), overwhelm/trying to do too much, trying to make people be who I think they should be, trying to control everything about my life, gossip, negative news, lacking discipline, procrastination, trying to be perfect.

I would say my #1 joy snatcher is trying to control what happens in my life — and when and how it happens. It’s something I’ve been working on for several months, but to minimize it even more is to remember that ultimately, I am not in control. God is in control. That’s not to say I’m going to sit back and wait for things to fall in my lap. I’ll do what I can, trust my instincts, and trust God with everything. I can do this if I just keep remembering that He is Jehovah Jireh, and He will supply all of my needs “according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

I choose joy! 🙂
