this kind of joy.

last night, i wanted to make an excuse to not attend service. it was cold, rainy and i am battling a cold.

despite my warm bed calling, i went. and the Lord spoke.

He reminded me that His joy is my strenght. In heartache, in battles, in the middle of the ocean's rage. His joy will uplift me, revive me, keep me moving forward. He asked that i get up and carry His joy regardless of the arduous mountain i'll have to climb.

I will not falter, I will not fall because He walks beside me.

praisy.

(i realize i spelled rihanna's name wrong. she won't mind. i don't think)

there comes a time when a blogger has a brilliant idea and jami nato's #letsgetpraisy would be one of them.

when i first found jami's blog i ugly bawled like a like a baby because of this post.

before you read, grab a box of kleenex, lock yourself in your bedroom and get ready to cleanse your soul with a torrent of tears. this chic shows the gospel in one of the most beautiful ways.

anyway, i digress. so this #let'sgetpraisy link up takes common lyrics and references them to the Bible, just to show that the Gospel can be found anywhere.
