How Can I Show It?

I was reading a devotional this evening before bed, an in an interview with USA Today, Bethany Hamilton (Soul Surfer)'s pastor was quoted saying this:
Her pastor, Steve Thompson, said, "She's looking forward to the future. She's asking herself, 'How can I show the world I still have a life, that I enjoy my life, and that my life is filled with joy?' She has an underlying trust that God is taking care of her." 



That's my focus during the next week or so. 


I'm transitioning- from good things to great things. But life is going to be a little different.


I have a break starting tomorrow evening and extending into Sunday. And then I start a new adventure for the next 8 weeks.


And after that... Well, I'm looking forward to the future. 


I'm asking myself, like Bethany, "How can I show the world, especially those who still view me as one who is no longer competent as a friend, that I still have a life- a new one- and that I now enjoy my life? How can I show that my life is filled with joy?"


It's a question that I can't answer right here in a few paragraphs. I know my life is filled with joy and will be in the future.


Now, how do I go about showing it? This is one of those "And What About You" posts?


How do you show your life is filled with joy? How do you encourage me to show my own life is filled with joy?


I have joy, I know it, because I, like Bethany, have an underlying trust that God is, God was, and God always will be taking care of me.


How, now, shall I live? How can I show my life is full of you?
