When I was a child, the Tilt-A-Whirl at my hometown's annual street fair taught me this life-changing truth: it is entirely possible for a human being to laugh and throw up at the same time.

Little did I know that years later, when I was a grown-up, God would use this revelation to show me--on a deeper level--that joy and sorrow can occupy the same space, that they can walk (or hurl) alongside each other on the same road. We just have to be intentional about drawing from the joy while we're going through the tough stuff.

In other words, when it comes to deep delight that feeds your soul, you are not at the mercy of your circumstances. You have the choice to direct your mind's focus toward joy.

And that, my friend, is very good news.

Jill Baughan invites you into her laughter-filled world through stories like this that remind you that we can experience sincere joy even in the tough parts of life. You'll relate to her genuine and often humorous storytelling in these 90 heartfelt devotions that encourage you to find joy . . . no matter what.
