Counting still

I named my blog "Count it all joy" because I love that verse in the Bible. I want to be able to do just that in all circumstances in my life. The amazing part is that a few weeks ago our Sunday School class started a new book called "Finding God's path through your trials" by Elizabeth George. And what verse is the entire book and study guide based upon? James 1:2, Therefore, Brethren, Count it all joy when encountered with various trials. It has been so amazing to work through this and really discover what it really means to be able to do that. It is a choice and it comes with the many promises of God.
