Doing God's Will
Doing the will of God from the heart. Ephesians 6:6
We are admonished to seek out the will of the Lord. In Ephesians 5:17 we read. "Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is."
Some people, however, misunderstand the will of God. They think it must be a harsh, joyless thing, intended to make us miserable. But listen: God's will comes from God's love.
If you love someone, will you want to make him miserable? Will you go out of your way to punish him if he doesn't do exactly what you tell him to? No, of course not not if you really love him.
The same is true with God. God loves you, and because He loves you. He cares what happens to you. He loves you too much to let you wander aimlessly through life, without meaning or purpose. The Bible says, "You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy" (Ps. 16:11).
Covet God's will for your life more than anything else. To know God's will and to do it is life's greatest joy.

Andrew is the perfect ballerina :)
Today Andrew enjoyed his swing. His favorite thing is to go around really fast. We always tease him around that he is ballerina.

What Is Joy?
The joy of the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10
Some people think Christians should always be smiling and happy, and something is wrong hey aren't.
But this isn't necessarily true. Jesus stood outside the tomb of His friend Lazarus, and we read that "Jesus wept" (John 11:35). As He approached Jerusalem "He saw the city and wept" (Luke 19:41) because of its spiritual blindness and guilt. He knelt in the Garden of Gethsemane and was in agony...and His sweat became like great drops of blood" (Luke 22:44).
Don't confuse happiness with joy. Happiness comes with happy circumstances; joy wells up deep inside our souls as we learn to trust Christ. Joy does not mean that we are never sad or that we never cry. But joy is a quit confidence, a state of inner peace that comes from God.
Life's troubles will rob us of our happiness, but they can never rob us of the joy God gives us, as we turn in faith to Him and seek His face.
