Finding Joy....

I was talking with a dear friend recently about how easy it is to be overcome with the little stresses of everyday life. The little things the things that are there everyday (or almost everyday) On Sunday Kyle, me and the kids were driving to our small group. I said out loud that I would not let the stress of our house being a mess steal my joy that evening. Then I had to really analyze how often I let the stresses of everyday life steal my joy... the answer was A LOT. How clean my home is, how good the kids are acting, how organized life feels at the time, they all dictate in some way how I react during the day, most times the most with my husband. That is sad. (although very true)  So this week I am resolving to find the joy that God has granted me in my life. The joy He  means for me to have even though I allow circumstances to take that away everyday. I'm tired of having to apologize to Kyle for being a brat because "insert stressful circumstance here".  Here goes nothing! It's going to be hard but I refuse to let this season of my life go by and then be sad and regret not enjoying the sweetness that I know for a fact I will miss one day!
