Ever wondered what God’s will is for your life? I know I have. And I often hear of the mystery of discovering God’s will. But is it that difficult or mysterious?
I don’t know. You tell me after reading this verse.
Be joyful always, pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances,
for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NIV).
(pics taken last Sunday. My girl swinging. My boy playing hoop-in red shirt-with friends)
Not sure why but that verse really jumped out at me today. Perhaps, I have not always been joyful, giving thanks no matter where He has us… These simply things He ask of us. Ouch!
Trying:) I love your mountains! Beautiful backdrop!
I've been reading this verse often for the last 3 days.
Awe inspiring.
Tiffany,
What a great verse to keep us remembering. Too often its hard to give thanks in the trying times but if we focus on what's left instead of what's gone it makes it easier to fulfill this scripture.

Amen! So very clear…
The mountains are gorgeous!
a perfect, joy-filled day!
AMEN!!
I so love looking at your pictures. They are always so beautiful!!!
I so miss living where the mountains are a back drop. But I'm grateful to God for giving me the time I had there. Although, God willing, I really hope to have the opportunity again someday!
Wow! What exceptional scenery!! I sure could be joyful with that backdrop. (On the other hand, did you guys have snow recently?
We can't always choose our circumstances or geography, but we can always choose joy.
Thanks for the reminder and wonderful pictures.
Amen and amen!!
Amen!
Praise the LORD!
I am always glad when I stop by your blog!! 🙂
Instructions straight from the Lord. I love it!
What an incredible backdrop for a picture.
If this is where you live – you are blessed with an incredible view!
Blessings to you,
Melanie

I LOVE this!!
What a great post topic paired with that verse. God's will isn't hidden from us…He's made it clear in his Word!
The mountains in the background are stunning.
Good words! Great verse! Makes me think! Love the swing photo! Awesome. Although I absolutely didn't like Denver — Colo Springs was always beautiful and I loved my few visits there. Looks like it's still beautiful – love the mountains!! (I moved to Denver after living on an island in the plush Puget Sound, HUGE difference!) Great photos! Thanks, Jenn
