1. What kinds of things rob you of your joy in the Lord? How can you halt this robbery in progress?
2. How do you distinguish the voice of God from other voices? Who helped you learn “voice recognition”? Is there someone you can help with “voice recognition”?
--Gary Straub & Judy Turner, Your Calling as a Leader

Nourishing Ourselves
If we don't nourish ourselves, joy will elude us.
We nourish ourselves whenever we enter into activities that build our energy reserves. Consider this list of common nourishment sources:
1. Music - What songs lift me?
2. Thoughts - What thoughts speak to me?
3. Experiences - What experiences rejuvenate me?
4. Friends - What people encourage me?
5. Recreation - What recreation re-creates me?
6. Soul - What spiritual exercises strengthen me?
7. Hopes - What dreams inspire me?
8. Home - What family members care for me?
9. Giftedness - What gifts activate me?
10. Memories - What memories make me smile?

JOY
Certain folk, by the way they live, teach us what joy is all about. These joy bearers are not jokesters…Yet they possess the quality rightly called joy. They live that joy as much in the midst of crisis as they do in days of outward celebration. Walking the way of integrity, they carry within them one of the great paradoxes of faith: The person of faith both laments and rejoices mightily.
