Good morning my RP Family. I am a bit slow to respond here because of all of the wonderful congratulations y’all have given me on reaching 6 million. That achievement and the congratulations have been exhilarating for me today. I have found something on Crosswalk.com that talks about this very issue. I pray you find it a blessing to you. Have a blessed day today and always.

The Secret Behind Having Exhilarating Joy
By Tiffany Wilson
… and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior… Luke 1:47 NIV
Okay, so maybe the secret behind having exhilarating joy isn’t a secret to some of you?
And, I know, exhilarating is not a common word choice for many.
Well, recently, I spoke at a non-profit’s launch party, and I mentioned how I didn’t start using certain words until I began to walk with God. These were words like exhilarating, exceptional, extraordinary, oh and incredible. It wasn't because I didn’t know these words or didn’t understand how to use them, but because I wasn’t experiencing many things in my life that would cause me to put them to use.
The point I wanted to make clear to the audience on that day is that walking with God is not boring and uneventful. Instead, it is crazy, adventurous and intrinsically challenging, which can prompt one, well me, to use words like exhilarating and unbelievable. Even better, doing this life with God in the driver’s seat can cause one to feel unbelievably well, even when things aren’t apparently well. This “euphoric feeling” of joy comes from the big secret: God’s presence, peace and love.
I figured, you probably knew this already, but for those that may not…
The joy of the Lord that stems from God’s presence, peace and love REALLY is unmatched – in this world. Okay, skydiving, COOL, bungee jumping, WOW, getting married, YUMMERS, but none of these ah—mazing experiences top the joy that rests within the heart, soul and being of those who know that God is really with them, cares for them and is leading them towards an abundant life (John 10:10). The joy I’m talking about can’t be taken away from you; and when it hits you, you just know you’ve been blessed by something bigger than your doing!
If you feel like you are all out of joy or maybe joy seems to have passed you by, don’t fret! The faith journey comes with many strains too, but joy should not be totally absent from your experience of God. Jesus said, “you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.” (John 16:20)
In the meantime:
Pray with an earnest heart to discover what joy is and is not.
Push your fears and frustrations into God’s care (over and over again).
Praise God for what you have and the exhilarating joy that’s on its way.
Don’t be afraid to weep and weep in the night, in time daylight will come. (Psalm 30:5)
God, help me to see and experience the fullness of Your joy. Remove whatever angst, doubt or sadness trying to prevent me from rejoicing in You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Do you know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior? Pull up a chair… He’s been waiting for you.

I pray that you and I increasingly understand that God is trustworthy in all things and that HE sustains us, our loved ones and all of creation, my friend and brother-in-Christ PO1 H Gene Lawrence and sister-in-Christ Linda Lawrence.
I pray that each of YOUR adopted children is hopeful and cognizant that exhilaration and other emotional extremes need to ebb and flow in our own life and the lives of those we love.
Enable and empower us to enjoy life with wisdom and discernment. Wean us from searching for temporary and hedonistic experiences, and ground us in love, truth and a hunger for justice.
Deliver the body of Christ from worshipping created beings including people and angels. Give us eyes to see and ears to hear deceptive teachings. Open a door for those entrapped in cults, false belief systems, and scams of all types. Lead them away from the pitfalls and guide them to healthy fellowships of believers.
I pray for a greater work ethic across this nation. I pray that YOU motivate illegal aliens and managers of sanctuary cities to cooperate with Federal DHS authorities. I pray that the Federal authorities will employ wisdom to adjudicate the cases of illegal aliens seeking asylum.
I pray that those funding the efforts to flood the borders with illegal aliens will be confused and work against each other and that conditions will improve in the Central American nations.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well tonight.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs It is when we dare, when we try something new that we find the most joy and exhilaration in life. When you are exploring, doing, creating or just learning some new skill, take the time to stop and appreciate all that you have accomplished and that will make getting to the top all the better.

I have been to the top of some very high peaks that overlooked a deep valley. I can attest to the exhilarating feeling of seeing the wonder of it all.

If you say so. I'll stay down below. I don't like to get on my roof any more. Mountains all around me, nice to see and hunt deer part way up, but that's close enough to the top for me.
