Joys.... #1

It's been a while since I posted. And I guess a lot has happened in my life. So many things that could drag me down, but I am realizing that it is my choice to not go down that road, and choose to let God work through those things, instead of letting Satan take away my joy- that is something I do NOT want to happen! I know that for certain!
Now, I have seen it done quite a bit, but I do want to at least find one 'joy' every two days and post it. It's going to be hard, but maybe posting it will keep me accountable! And yes, I am doing every TWO days, but it seems a little bit less scary. Hm... that's cowardly. Ok, I am posting a joy everyday, because I know that God gives at least one joy a day! Now I have to open my eyes to see them!
Here is my first one:
I got to go on a beautiful, beautiful hike with my sisters and my mom this past week. We hiked 42 km in one day! Which is crazy, but when I look back, just that fact made it so memorable. It was so tough for everyone to get time off of work, that's why we were limited to doing the hike in such a short time, but God made it happen! We got the time to do the hike, and completed it, somewhat safely! Praise God for his timing, his grace in blessing us and making things work out, and for his beauty- seen so clearly through nature!
