Simply Joy Rain or Shine Learning to live with joy during the sunshine and the storms For the joy of the Lord is my strength Nehemiah 8:10 Join me on this unforgettable adventure of discovering joy. Together we will learn how to cultivate joy and spread it generously to others. Through my mission trips to rural Kenya and my own study of God's word, I have discovered the possibility and power of living with joy. Unlike happiness, joy doesn't come and go depending on the surrounding circumstances. Rather, joy is the umbrella sheltering and protecting our lives. It's like a pair of sunglasses that we choose to put on in order to see God more clearly despite the blinding brightness of our harsh world. Joy pierces through the pain and delivers a glimpse of who God is amidst the hurt, sadness, and sorrow. Join me on this unforgettable adventure of discovering true, everlasting joy, a joy so rich that it overflows from our hearts and spreads generously to others. Are you ready for joy?
