Now That’s Joy

James said to “count it all joy.”

I get that. But it is easier said than done. I don’t know how it is for you, but for me, I find it much easier to rejoice in large disappointments rather than small annoyances.

My car has already had one transmission fail this summer. As of last Friday night, it seems like I am now in the middle of a second failed transmission. Three’s a charm? I think I was able to keep my attitude in check also because my wife was so calm. Okay, she didn’t really know what was wrong with the car other than she was with me when it blew out while driving on the freeway. There are so many things going on this summer, the last thing I wanted or needed was this.

But we will get through it. I really believe that. I know it. I think faith says God will provide – when we are in that hopeless situation, our faith in God gets us through.

Regarding the Re-release of Heart of The City, I met with the post team at Crash N Sues in Minneapolis about ten days ago. It was a very encouraging meeting. We are planning to finish the final touches by end of July. I will keep you all posted on that.

By faith, the movie will be completed in God’s perfect time. I believe it will. In the meantime, we will count it all joy.
