Are you sitting in suffering? Choose joy.

So often, we attract what is familiar, pain. Sometimes we sit there too long, because it’s comfortable. We are used to being passed over, silenced or suffering. What if you used every moment to heat God? What if you counted your joys? What if you stopped waiting for the shoe to drop and started living?

Pain just happens, you can't control it. But suffering? That's you sitting in the pain, replaying it, letting it define your day. Most people think pain means you have to stop. But you can feel the pain and still choose joy, still keep moving, still live. Suffering is staying stuck. Pain is jus
