j-o-y day four-ish,five-ish,etc.

Slacking major on the listing of joy project.. There's just too much of it to keep up with, haha, but seeeeriously.. The past week has probably been one of the most exciting, especially for little ole' Milledgeville:)

hm, right now I'm sitting at the kitchen table, watching dad and mom clean out all the cabinets..at 9 am, haha, parents are awesome. They just found some old purple wine glasses I used to have tea parties with, and mom says they'll give them to me when I get married. Not sure I'd want to drink out of them after all this tiiiiiime, but I do love things of the past--antiques, photos, jewelry. It's fascinating. Dad found my grandma's pocketbook from right before she passed in 2002, and there was a little business-sized card that read, "If we meet and you forget me, you have lost nothing: but if you meet JESUS CHRIST and forget him you have lost everything." Talk about putting your heart to rest. She loved the Lord, and is in heaven. :)

okay, okay, okay, I'll get to the pieces of joy now before I run out of time. Got alllllll kinds of errons to run, a wedding to attend, and then David's graduation party at the lake all day tomorrow. Gosh, can't believe he's done with high school. And bay will be an 8th grader. Fourteen this year.. what the heck, time! Where you goin?.. and there I go rambling, once again.

joy:)

1) watching friends swing from a branch way up in a tree and into a muddy lake. Ah, and getting them on video:)

2) playing volleyball every night the past week. Not my forte, but being on a team named Oregon Trail and performing motions after every point for sure surpasses any reason not to play.

3) jogging through Milledgeville by myself, and being able to think, a lot:)

4) working in the Mac media lab from 9 am to 5 pm, sweet.

5) cookouts with the neighbs

6) listening to bay talk about her friends and watching recordings of their little choreographed dances. Talk about deja vu. Instead of dancing to Bewitched and Sugar Beats, they're grooving to some sweet Miley Cyrus and Jonas Brothers, haha.

7) recieving a phone call with "Circle of Life" blaring through the speaker. Thank you, Jacob and David. ha.

8) driving home from school with Kirk and getting stuck behind every slow driver that has ever existed, ever. Testing my patience, that's good.

9) watching Bride Wars and eating cookie dough icecream with mom and bay

10) reading Breaking Free and filling up the quote journal, yeeees:) ps. great book, definitely reccommend it

well, as promised, I've run out of time. I'm sure it'll be pieces of joy overload after this weekend.

:)

mm, and a little tid bit from today's devotional, piece of joy number eleven:

- realize your great qualities and be fully you
- realize how much God loves you
- realize He created your inmost being
- realize He has laid His hand upon you
- realize His right hand will hold you fast
- realize His promises never fail

mm hmm.

his love.
