Shame and Joy

As movement has been on my mind and with conversations that have been happening around me. The topic of Joy keeps getting brought back up and feelings of shame are starting to creep in. I know you are good God and I am enough. That's how I am combating those feelings of inadequacy. As for Joy it's something I've been pondering about. The things that bring me joy are walks, fleeting moments with friends, the sounds of the shutter of a camera, and curating a playlist that tries to convey what I am feeling. You've given me gratitude and tremendous peace Lord. Maybe you have brought me joy but I just haven't been able to harvest or even been aware that it is such. I am sure it will come as I keep close to you.
