According to Jesus as he is quoted in the bible in the book of Matthew chapter 6 verse 21 (NIV-New International Version)
“For where your treasure is there your heart will be also.”
Today, is the last episode of the joy mini-series that we have been journeying through the last 9 weeks starting with episode #8 “Meaning of Joy in Life” and we will be wrapping it up by my expanding on the context and bringing new thoughts, ideas, a new perspective or a new angle to what I have shared in each of the episodes previously all the way through episode #15 “Faith-Based Self-Care” essentially tying it all together, the compilation of the ways in which true joy and self-care looks like in our life, how we can build, create, and maintain it. And I hope you have been able to see in this mini-series how each episode is built onto the next as it brings in another concept that ties into how creating joy works and how all the ideas are connected to each other.
I sincerely apologize for the duration of the episode as I do truly do honor your time as I understand you have things that keep you busy in life and this week I did go way beyond my own time limit, today though we do have a lot of exciting ground to cover as we are compiling all of the joy mini-series and I do have lots and lots of good stuff for you today as well as an announcement and that is
I am inviting you to participate in a no-cost to you, group discussion session. I am thinking about planning on doing this in about a month or so by zoom is what my intention is regarding it. So, yes, what this session will entail is as we will have completed our joy mini-series today, it will be comprised of us having a conversation or discussion if you will about any take aways you may have had, any insights that have come to you, anything that stood out to you, what may have inspired you or gave you motivation, something that helped you no matter how small that may be, maybe something you have tried and or implemented that is working for you, or possibly gave you some ideas that you hadn’t thought about, really anything that grabbed your attention from what I have shared in episodes 8 through today’s episode, #16. My thought process is for any of my listeners who are interested, that we could all come together and share our ideas. What are your thoughts?
If this sounds like something you would like to do, go ahead and send me an email to let me know you are considering to be a part of it as this will give me an idea as to how many will be in attendance. I will provide my email address to you at the end along with the other ways you can connect with me so that you can receive the information, any updates I may have, or details as well as receive an answer to any question or questions that may come to mind for you.
I am sharing with you here as well as in the episode my personal formula to sustainable authentic joy.
It is knowing you, who you are authentically + acknowledging and accepting all parts of yourself, even the ones you don’t care for + knowing and understanding not everyone is going to align with or accept you, and being okay with that + being able to allow people to have their opinions about you but not internalizing them as truth by not believing you are not worthy it is just that you are just not right or meant for them + understanding and accepting you aren’t perfect and there will be times you don’t always get it right and that is okay because you are human and God understands this + life isn’t always going to go the way we hoped that there is maybe a different plan God had for you + joy is being at peace with these things and in times when your life seems to be falling apart it is though not comfortable or fun, you are going to be okay because you have what you need to get through + placing necessary boundaries on yourself to protect yourself from your human natured tendencies to want to be accepted by all + and having an unwavering grounded faith in the Lord that he truly wants what is best for you, that he has a plan for you, and that he cannot wait until you decide to partner with him in your journey of life.
