Maya Angelou said, “A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer; it sings because it has a song.” What is the new song of God wants to you sing?
Could joy be the new song God wants you to sing? Jesus tells us, “These things I have spoken to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.” John 15:11
But, why is it so difficult to choose joy & why do we feel so guilty or selfish or (filled in your critical voices) when we try to choose joy?
Today’s Advent Podcast – Spark Joy: Free Your Heart & Time to Do What Makes You Come Alive with Joy – explores this question. (Email subscribers: click here to listen on my blog)

Dear Jesus,

is still safe with you.
Revive that part in her now.
Breathe your Holy Spirit into her and fan the flames.
Give her courage to choose joy.
With you. Today.
Amen.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
