Day 201 - Joy

I've actually been pretty sick over the last few days so please excuse my tardiness on getting my posts up. Today I want to share Kay Warren's definition of joy. She has been presenting a wonderful bible study about joy, unfortunately I have had to miss most of them due to sickness or prior engagements, but being joyful is something I want to be more of!

"Joy is the settled assurance that God is in control of all the details of my life; the quiet confidence that ultimately everything is going to be all right; and the determined choice to praise God in all things."

What would your definition of joy be? When you say, "I could use a little more joy in my life," would you feel/act differently using this definition?
