Joy

One of those times where you were almost sure that some events can't be coincidences. Wrestling about what joy looks like as stated in the last post, a new insight just came while jumping on the Youtube train from one song to another in preparation for playing music in church tomorrow. I will leave it to the video below and an excerpt to explain.

Warning: this is a seemingly contradictory, very emotionally heavy song most Christians would have been familiar with that you are going to wrap your head around. I urge you to watch it, but prepare yourselves.
Joy for me is no longer a feeling but an attitude and it is something that I have to fight for in the midst of my grief. And some days I'll fight and I'll succeed. And other days I'll fight and I won't. I think God really understands that process and that He is ok with that, He grieves with us in our sadness, but He also comforts us.

    Hello! Found your blog. Finally coming out of obscurity to say that I really really like this rendition. Not contradictory at all.

    Well I did say seemingly contradictory.

    Welcome nonetheless. I might have an idea but, out of curiosity, how'd you find my blog?
