Sometimes I get so focused, I forget to enjoy my time with You, God.

Please help me enjoy You as I go through my busy days.

Dear God,

Today was so wonderful!! I made my list long and achievable and I got EVERYTHING DONE!

Even dinner!

Even half my weight in ounces of water, I did it!

I had forgotten about Band Practice, but I made it!

Band practice tonight was satisfying. We slowed the songs down and just enjoyed the rhythms and the extra space within the songs for more instrumentals. I held notes longer and it was so much more satisfying to my soul because I felt the music inside of my body as I sang and it felt healing to my weary soul. We had more time to just enjoy each other and the sounds we were each contributing. I felt refreshed when I left for work after band practice, it was good! It was one of many highlights of my day and I’m very grateful.

Lord, I need to get some more songs I can lead with and sing in an upper register so I don’t tire out my vocal chords so quickly. I need to take this more serious and buckle down on training to become a better lead singer and backup singer. I need to exercise my vocal chords and get them strengthened for longevity like they used to be. They tire out sooner than I want. I’d like to last at least 3 hours at a time and longer. My life has changed so much in the past 4 years and I hardly sing anymore. I love singing and I want to do it more.

I am grateful my life has changed. It has been difficult. So much in my life is better and I love the shifts that are happening even though sometimes they are tough. They are good and are what I desire for my future to be better.

Lord, Thank You for walking with me as I go through this career change. It’s scary to do this again so soon after the last one…but I know it’s what I need and I know I’m ready. I have the support system I need. I have the home I need. I have the income I need. And God, You’ve never let me down before. We’ve gone through tough times and I am stronger and better for it all. Thank You for loving me and guiding me through each new scary part of this maze I am in as I navigate adulthood.

Sometimes I get so focused on what’s difficult and I forget to just enjoy my time with You, God. That’s why You created me. You just wanted to enjoy spending time with us. Please help me enjoy You as I go through my busy days accomplishing everything important enough to add to my schedule.

You created the day and night. You created this beautiful place I live in. You created me and the people I love. Help me to enjoy it all!

I love You God!

Love, Joi
