JOY

Ok, I was at lunch with a great friend reflecting on our discipleship class this past weekend. The topic of the class was on James 1:1-5.  The question that I have held onto from this is ... What does the word JOY really mean?  Some say Joy is being happy. Others believe it is extreme happiness or ellation.... so that you have it in context we were looking at verse 2 James that says we should "count it all joy when we go through trials and tribulations" (paraphase mine). So how do we do that? So does that mean countt it as a joyful occasion? count it as happiness? be internally satisfied when...?

What is it? JOY that is?????

Just thinking.... Any insight would be great!

Sunday morning

Good morning/ afternoon! Today is an awesome day. It is amazing to wake up, spend the morning with people you adore, really digging into the word of God. I am truly blessed with amazing friends and family.

Getting started

Alright I am gonna put it out there.  I know NOTHING about blogging, but at least I can just talk without someone tuning out... Here's my disclaimer, if you choose to come back or follow this blog, please beware that I do like to tell people what I think and have opinions about A LOT of things.  I normally hold back to preserve the innocent... or at least those weak at heart.

So now let's get on to the long list of things to change this year...

1) What is always on the top of everyone's list for a new year? GET HEALTHY!!!! Well that is what I am gonna do. I refuse to let the another year go by without making the necessary changes. So that includes eating healthier (not healthy completely>> trying to stay realistic), and get moving.

So how am I gonna do it?

I have joined Beachbody so that I have access to their awesome programs at a discount and started supplementing my meals.  No, that does not mean  I eat more, but replacing a meal as well as cutting back on what I am eating. But let me be honest.  I am struggling with cutting out sweet tea. That is rough!!!!! I love me some sweet tea. So we'll see how that part goes.

2) Next, on the list is getting my list written down so that I know what I am working towards. I continue this long list of things that I want to accomplish. This year I WILL WRITE THEM DOWN!!! We'll see how this goes too...I'll keep you informed.

Start of new year and new me!!!

Here I am in 2011 with a long list of changes to be made and goals for the new year.  So here's my new blog to share with you what will be changing this year and the progress of those changes.

Enjoy!!!!
