Though the sierra barn blueprint make no sense
and there is no architectural degree within me
though the anchor bolt placement fails
and the burger king produce no healthy food,
though there is no rest until it’s done
and not enough toilets in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
I will be joyful in God my Savior!

In light of all the anxiety involved with newcomer's ministry (will they like us? Will they laugh at the jokes? Will I get to meet people who is open or will I meet someone who is hostile?) I am thankful for this reminder that my joy is to come from my relationship with God my Savior.

Though I may never find a job so we always have to borrow money, and everything I do is at best satisfactory and not all that great

Though my kids may always be a source of stress and drain that I am barely hanging on, forgetting things left and right, and I have miscommunication with everyone and can’t get things straightened out for the nth time

Though ministry may fail and our church defamed and I don’t know why

Yet I will rejoice in the Lord

I will be joyful in God my Savior

Though the brothers under my care may hate me for trying to love them with the truth, though my 4 yr old son pulls down his friend’s mirrored sliding closet door, which destroyed all of his friend’s lego star wars armada and there’s glass fragments everywhere, though my 1 yr old son breaks his leg resulting in needing to stay in a body cast for 6 weeks, though things go crazy at work and I’m in a hurry to leave to give bible study, which I’m still in need of major revisions, though I do or say yet another impulsive thing that frustrates my wife and others around me…. Yet!....yes, YET I will still rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior! My personal Habakkuk 3:17-18

Though I seem to struggle with the same character issues and sins and sometimes, it feels like a losing battle,
though my ministry fails, and my students don’t grow or don’t respond to God, and I don’t meet any new students in the fall,
though I’m weak and sickly and am sometimes just really tired or sometimes in a lot of pain,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior!

Though school seems like so much work
And it seems like I can’t handle it,
Though I have relational problems
That seek to consume me emotionally,
Though I feel incapacitated and useless
by my failures and inadequacy for others and God,
Though I am losing sleep and have no ‘free’ time,
Yet I will seek to know how God is speaking to me through situations,
I will remember that He loves me independent of what I do, and that He has always helped me through any situation,
And I will remember that He has blessed me beyond the wildest hopes of most people on this earth.
