Another Interview

Busy start to the new week with a full day of school activities and Good News Club, along with an interview in a local locale.:) High hopes, as usual, for things to be just right in this job possibility for my husband.
We had to laugh tonight for sheer relief at Monty Python's "silly job interview" on YouTube. It's worth a view!
I think that the Lord is trying to teach me a lesson about joyful attitudes. Stress and anxiety can steal your joy like nothing else, but it is simply WRONG to allow those robbers to make off with this powerful force we can employ in our lives!
My friend told me a story today about the power of praise. Seventeen miscarriages, (!) a baby brought to five months along in the womb, then lost, and she could grieve and go on through the will to praise her Lord Jesus.
This is truly power. Most people would abandon all thought of a deity who would allow this to happen. Most people would wallow in grief, self-pity and depression. Some may justify rage over unjust circumstances. Some might question the very basis of a worldview that would invite such suffering---Are children really that important?
I see a glowing woman who faced a huge enemy and defeated it with a massive opposition force. Godly praise and joy will make the demons run in confusion. Your spirit will take command of a downcast soul and manhandle it back to productivity!
This is strength to combat any foe.
