Morning

I think it's true when I hear the phrase joy comes in the morning. I had an incredible night last night leading worship and I heard some things that put my life into perspective over the course of the day.

I've been stuck in this rut of trying to change the things I don't like about my life right now. The key word of that is right now.

I'm an overthinker. We talked about addictions last night and I would probably say that I'm addicted to overthinking. The first thing I do when something comes up that's negative is try to figure out a way to get out of it. I try to fix it.

I have to embrace the opportunities I have right now. Instead of trying to find a way out, or find something different, I need to suck it up and embrace what God has given in this very moment.

Right now I'm single, I'm in school, I have a job, I'm a worship leader. I have to be the guy that God wants me to be with all these things.

Joy isn't this overwhelming urge to go frolic in a field, or sing a Disney song with a bunch of animals, it's knowing that Christ is the only thing that stays constant and the peace associated with that. Happiness is the emotion, and emotions fade.

So I'm leaving everything here right now so that God can have His way.
