Choose Joy 2023

A one off talk by Claire Bell telling us about her experience of God in her cancer journey

Talks index

What a powerful testimony this is from Claire Bell about her decision to choose joy throughout her journey with cancer!
The talk is sparked with challenging quotes like:
When troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy! (James 1:2)
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.
Life is not like mountains and valleys, it’s more like train track: Joy and sorrow run parallel to each other!
People, Possessions, Places and Positions are too fleeting to hold up our expectations - only God can be that source.
We need to switch our focus from how we feel to how we think.
It’s impossible to be joyful and full of worry at the same time: When you’re worrying, you’re not trusting, and when you’re trusting, you’re not worrying
Gaze at God and only Glance at your Problems
.... and these are just a taster - Claire said so much more!
