I am writing this post, thoroughly enjoying the sun streaming in the open windows! My heart is lifted and with it the day and therefore the week! Winter, although beautiful at times and of course essential for growth, can be depressing. The winter blues start to set in after days of endless cold, rain and dreary weather. This winter especially has been so cold, do you agree? I don't cope well with the cold, I love spring and autumn and so winter can get me down. I admit that for most of June I was not myself, I was not depressed but I didn't really have any thing that excited me, I felt that I was not good enough and I generally felt "Meh!". How about you have you been feeling the winter blues??
I started thinking and praying about this as it is not generally how I am, and God started showing me again that when we know him there is joy. Yes our environment or circumstances may not be great, we may be struggling but God is waiting there to take hold of our burdens if we are willing to let go. Not surprisingly my devotions began to be about Joy, about receiving his peace and knowing Joy by trusting in Jesus. I began to realise that I had to claim that joy and I am thankful for it.
Things are now changing, the year is moving fast and there is light at the end of the tunnel of winter. I am in the midst of rehearsals for Soul Factor Gospel Choir's 2014 Broadway Concerts, which are going to be such fun with some fabulous music, moves and plenty of laughs. The concerts are on both the 9th and the 16th of August so if you would like to find out more or book tickets head to the website here.
Also rehearsals for Legally Blonde start on Sunday so I am very much looking forward to that and am so thankful for the opportunities I get to perform.
I hope this post finds you well and coping with winter. If you are struggling or feeling down I pray for you and remember that there is great joy in knowing Jesus, he wants to know you.
Have a wonderful week!
