Finding Joy: Day 2: My twin.

The past two weeks have been really rough, and tiring, siblings sick & dad having to work over so much.  It can make a person feel overwhelmed sometimes.  It's been harder to find the brighter side of things, sticking with my hand folded & my eyes closed, praying had helped.    Finding joy in something everyday can be a bit of a challenge during a bad day, but there's one person who made me smile SO much today, writing this post I can't help but to have a grin on my face.  Her name would be Alyssa, my amazing best friend that I just so happen to call my twin.
We talked this afternoon & she always cheers me up!  I feel SO blessed that God has placed her in my life, for no doubt, a very special reason!  She is a very strong, beautiful girl, who can fill me up with joy just talking about the funniest things, that we do.    I can talk to her about every little thing & she always understands.    I just wanted to thank God for putting her in my life!  & Thanks Alyssa for being so truly amazing!  I love you SOOOOO much!! :)

Finding Joy: Day 1.

Starting today I think I will TRY my hardest to write a post on something that brought me joy through out my day.  Well I can honestly say, I find joy in many things through out the day.  And even if I don't post about it, I'm sure I'll find one everyday.

Today I found joy in music, while I was doing dishes (One of my least favorite chores.)  I listened to some Skillet & danced around mouthing the words, like some awesome band rocker.  And yes, if you would have seen me, you, with out a doubt would have fell to the ground laughing at me.   Because I'd sometimes stop & laugh at myself.  (Yes I am a dork, but, hey nothing wrong with that. ;)
Point is it brought me a lot of joy just having fun & breaking free dancing to the sound of worship music. (I know some people don't consider Skillet a "worship" band but, one of the songs I was listening to was from a "WOW Hits" CD.  Which is what made it pretty sweet!  It's the 2012 CD, it's also got some RED in it, not bad. ;) )

I hope you too can start trying to find AT LEAST ONE thing that brings you joy during your day!  Trust me, it will make you feel happier if you do! Count all your many blessings!  Remember JESUS LOVES YOU!!! :D

Finding The Joy In All Things...

Okay so lately I've complained a lot, & mostly bursting out all my feelings onto other people (Sorry people :( )     Things had just been rough the past month or so.  Personally it was SMALL problems for me, such as sickness, car troubles & other things.  (I refuse to complain so I will just stop listing off things, ha ha)   I found myself slowly slipping away from finding joy & happiness.  I was down & out.  Which is okay, cause we've all been there & done that, I do believe. ;)    But, for me, I dislike to complain big time.  I think it's one of the most useless things we do on earth, why whine & complain when we could spread smiles & words of encouragement & joy!   
Finding joy in everything in life is hard, & sometimes seems impossible!   Once you really start to dig for joy & happiness in your life & trials, you'll find it!  Life is beautiful, & you only get one!  So why waste it complaining & pouting about everything?     A way to keep a happy clean mind, is always count your many blessings.  We're all blessed in one way or another.    When I start counting just how many things God had given/blessed me with, I can't help but to feel like the most blessed girl in theworld!  God is so good.   He only does what He does because HE LOVES YOU & me!    And that's the honest truth!   God's love could NEVER fail, not ever, no matter what we do, or how we do it!  He'll always love you, if that alone isn't enough to make you smile, I don't know what will! :)

Sorry this was so short & not very well written, I'm holding my baby brother & trying to type at the same time.  (Not the easiest thing to do, ha ha)

I hope you got a little something out of this, I'll try really hard to start the blessing counting posts again! I've missed writing them.    With school & all I've been busy out of my mind. But, I WILL try to post more often. :)   Thanks SO much for reading!

God Bless <3
