Where's the Joy in Jury Duty

Yes, I received my paperwork to be a circuit court juror.

My initial thoughts:
Why now?
UGH!!
This stinks!

Thoughts as I reviewed the schedule:
AAAAHHHHH! The last two dates are during my scrapbook retreat!! That's MY time! And of course, I'll probably get picked!

But then God speaks to me, "Michelle, are you sure this is the right attitude?" And the answer is a definite, "NO!"

So, where is the joy?

The joy is in the fact that we have a jury system in our country. Trials are decided by a panel of our peers and not just one person.

The joy is to be able to use my fruits of the Spirit and gifts of the Spirit and apply this to what may come. There may be something of tremendous importance that God wants me to do during this time.

There's the joy! Knowing that God will use me and see me through whatever is put before me.

Have a joyful day!
