#ChooseJoy #JoyGivers365 Week 4

Let's just be real here. I'm struggling Choosing Joy today. When I started out on this #ChooseJoy Journey I did not take into the account that the second that you decide you want to get rid of a sin in your life and focus more on God it's like a red alert goes out to Satan and he is ON YOU.

I think Satan might go to Starbucks or at least have an espresso machine because he is alive and well and quite perky at all hours of the day, and night. Good thing I serve the God who CREATED Day and Night! 

On to the week.

Last weekend I was at Payless getting some groceries and wandered down the ice cream aisle. As I was strolling by and looking into the ice boxes I noticed this paper hanging out of an ice cream treat box. So of course I had to stop and open the door to see what it was! It was a coupon for 1.25 off of the particular product. (No I did not buy it and use it!)


These coupons are printed off at the cash register and given to you when you check out. So whoever put this coupon there, received it at check out and then kept it and took it back to the store and put it where someone else could use it! I just thought that was SO COOL! 

It's just another reminder that being a #JoyGiver365 does not require a huge effort or cost! This didn't cost them anything, but whoever was craving these (expensive) ice cream bars, got a huge treat and blessing!

I coupon, and always have extra coupons that I don't use, I am going to start placing coupons around the store on items each time I head to the grocery store!

I've mentioned on here before about how I like holding doors open for people, it's just a fun very small way to put a smile on someone's face. Yesterday I was at Jimmy John's buying some day old bread, and as I walked in, two office workers were heading out with their arms full of food. I purposely stood there and held the door open for them both to go through. They were so surprised and grateful! It might have only been 3 degrees outside but both of their smiles warmed me up!

This week I have been working on a way for my Piano Studio to get in on the #JoyGivers365 and next week I will share some details on what we will be doing!

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...

New Bedroom Decor!

 Every Year my SIL outdoes herself with the gifts she gave us the year before. This year was no exception! She made this amazing picture for me. If you look close all of the pieces of the heart are small pictures of me and my friends! I was amazed! I still can't get over it! I just love it so much!  So I decided to hang it above my bed. I don't have a headboard and I have really felt like my room was lacking something to pull it together. I think this picture does it nicely! And yes, I sleep with a stuffed animal. I'm single, don't judge! I also sleep with 5 pillows. I tend to fall out of bed. They are like my bumpers! HA! Seriously though I just love it and it's so neat to look at all the pics of different friends and stages in my life and remember all of the fun memories! Thanks Liz!!
