No matter where you are, can you find the joy in the journey?
Every year I find it so powerful to choose a word or a theme for the year. I choose something to focus on, something to cling to, something to focus my efforts on.
Interestingly, two years ago it was to focus on living intentionally 🙂

This year, I am choosing to focus on finding joy in the journey as the road ahead isn’t going to be easy.
Sometimes, it can be so easy to see an uphill battle and bury our head in the sand. This is so tempting, I know. However, this year I have been so challenged to face hard things by a wonderful woman named Kara Tippetts. I have read two of her books and am working my way through her third.
This book has been a game changer for me this past year. If you have not read it and are looking to find your joy, this book will make it impossible to bury your head in the sand.
The Hardest Peace: Expecting Grace in the Midst of Life’s Hard
The thing is, that we can’t change the journey in front of us most times. With this in mind, we can choose to let it overwhelm and destroy us, or, we can choose to embrace the journey for all that it is – good and bad.
Today, I challenge you to choose something to focus on this next year. Wouldn’t it be great to choose to find joy in the journey together?
I would be very interested in doing Joy in the Journey.
