Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a @toystory kid from the age of 5 til now… is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond.
Thank you to the brilliant Andrew Stanton for imagining me for this, all those years ago when you wrote this newest film. Thank you to the incomparable @RandyNewman or the gorgeous sonic tapestry of songs and scores you’ve meticulously woven over the years. You created the Toy Story musical world, and we are lucky to get to live in it.
By we, I mean myself and my pal @jackantonoff. We wrote this with so much adoration for these characters that made us laugh and helped us learn lessons and think outside the backyard all throughout our childhoods. “I Knew It, I Knew You” from Toy Story 5 is out everywhere now. 🤠🐴

It’s a *Toy* Story 🤠
You knew it! My new original song “I Knew It, I Knew You” for Disney and @Pixar’s @toystory 5 will be yours on June 5th. I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5 year old kid watching the first Toy Story movie. I fell instantly in love with Toy Story 5 when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages, and I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening. Sometimes you just know, right?
You can pre-order now exclusively at https://t.co/NoneI6kxdH and catch Toy Story 5 in theaters June 19th ☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️
God does not create anything worthless. He is good, and everything He does is good. We cannot believe that God created us and also believe we are worthless. Begin to accept and enjoy yourself where you are, and God will help you get to where you need to be. #JoyceQuote
God, I don’t want to complain about the things I prayed for. Help me to be forever grateful for all of the blessings in my life and especially to never forget to thank You for those things that are an answer to prayer. Amen.
A quick prayer for your thoughts: God, You have given me the power and
authority to take captive wrong thoughts and to replace them with
right thoughts. Today, help me choose to exercise that power and
cast down anything that the devil puts in my head. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Worried about the future? Think these things instead: God loves me, and He will take care of everything in my future. He will give me the strength and ability to do each thing I need to do as it comes up. #JoyceQuote
Happy Monday! Just in case you need a reminder, here's what God's Word says about you:
✨ You are a new creature in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
✨ Jesus has made you the righteousness of God in Him (2
Corinthians 5:21).
✨ You have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16).
✨ God has accepted you, and He will never reject you
(John 6:37).
✨ You are forgiven and your sins forgotten (Hebrews 10:17).
✨ God created you, and everything He created is good
(Genesis 1:31).
Don’t accept the lie that you can’t be happy because you have too many problems. If anyone can be happy, you can be happy, because God’s promises are for anyone who will believe them and receive them by faith. #JoyceQuote
God's Word teaches us that when we receive Christ as our Savior and Lord, He gives us a new nature (see II Corinthians 5:17). He gives us His nature. He also gives us a spirit of discipline and self- control, which is vital in allowing us to choose the ways of our new nature. And He gives us a sound mind (see II Timothy 1:7). That means we can think about things properly without being controlled by emotion.
Every believer can be thankful that the way we once were passes away, and we have all the equipment we need for a brand- new way of behaving. With God's help we can choose spirit over flesh and right over wrong. Our renewed spirits can now control our souls and bodies or, to say it another way, the inner person can control the outer person. Then we can live out God's plan for our lives.
Always remember that God promises to give us the desires of our heart if
we will delight ourselves in Him (Psalm 37:4). Even if you have to let go of something you would like to have or do, God is able to replace it with something better than you could imagine. #JoyceQuote
As we grow in our relationship with God, we discover who we are and what we have in Christ. And this is the one thing we need more than anything else: To know who we are in Christ and to know what we’ve been given as an inheritance through His death and resurrection.
Take some time each day during Lent to read and meditate on God’s Word. Study scriptures that tell you about God’s amazing love for you. Find out who He says you are, and learn about everything you have through His incredible grace and mercy.

God doesn’t promise we will never have pain, but He does assure us that during trouble and suffering, we can remain stable in His peace and have confidence that life can be good again. This truth gives us every reason to have a hopeful attitude for the future, no matter how deep our hurt goes or what our issues or circumstances may be. #JoyceQuote
The truth is, the Holy Spirit is concerned about everything that concerns you—whether it’s a “serious” matter, like a relationship issue, or something as simple as what to wear in the morning. The more we acknowledge the Holy Spirit and ask for help, the more we’ll discover His presence and ability in everything we do. #JoyceQuote
