Welcome to Enjoying Everyday Life with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, filled with hope.

Hope is the confident expectation that something good is going to happen

to us and through us, but it's very important we have our hope set in the right place.

We can place hope in many things, but only hope in our faithful Heavenly Father and his promises to us and his word will bring about the blessings he has for us.

Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

Here I found this one from 1987.

I'm leaving for Kansas City tomorrow.

I've been on the radio there for one year.

I'm a little scared.

I don't want to be discouraged if nobody comes out to the meeting.

I love it.

Our meetings aren't all that well attended. On average we have about a hundred people

at each one of them. It's hard for me to not want more, but I'm really trying to be happy with what God gives me

and live in his timing even though my flesh hates it.

We haven't received hardly any speaking engagements in a long time.

But Philippians too says don't doubtingly question God, so if I'm in his hands, I've decided

I'll crucify self-will by grace and I'm just going to try to not want anything except what God gives me.

Oh gimony Christmas, did I have a time?

Here you go. November 30th 1989, two weeks ago a lump

was found in my right breast through a mammogram and I had to have a biopsy. It turned out to be cancer.
