Pastor John,
I wanted to write out the good feelings from this past weekend! First of all, I woke up Saturday morning and as I stepped on the ground from my bed to walk to the bathroom, my brain started singing, “All my life you have been faithful, all my life you have been so so good, with every breath that I am able, I will sing of the goodness of God.” It was the sweetest feeling for my mind and heart to be singing those thoughts before it was even fully functioning 😀 It set my whole day in place from the beginning and I found myself singing it through the day.
Then on Sunday, something came up right at the beginning of the morning that tried to take my happiness and I decided I wasn’t going to fall into it like I have always done in the past. I find myself telling Jesus all the time that I’m going with him, and how he makes me happy. So as I was driving for an errand, songs were playing such as, “A Made Up Mind” then “Shine Bright” then “Godliness With Contentment” then finally “Have a Little Drink”. Each one was just as good as the first! Those songs were gold to me on my drive (the girls singing with me!) and let me know Jesus can (and will) make you happy through anything.
