J-O-Y down in my heart...deep deep down in my heart

.....do any of you know that song...it just popped in my head from nowhere hahahahah.

So much to share. ..

I am overjoyed with God and what He did the last two days of my life. He was not just wanting me to pray for 1 reader...........I soon found out by Monday morning that He fully intend for several of you to know that He had heard your cries and prayers. TO God be the Glory. I was humbled and overwhelmed by the number of emails I receive. The stories that were told to me and the get joys of hearing believers say..."I want more....I want to know Him more." My eyes are still tearing up with your words. I treasure and I mean TREASURE those emails. Thank you for letting me know what is going on in your lives and journeys with God. I love that He spoke to so many but at the same time spoke very directly and intimately to you. Psalms 27 and my prayers were meant for each one of you that responded.........I JUST LOVE THAT!!!!!!! WHAT JOY IT BRINGS ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My email is always on my profile and always available for you!!!!!! I love hearing from you!!!! Thank you again for sharing a part of your life with me yesterday! Be encouraged that you are always on His mind.....and as a single girl....I love knowin somebody is thinking about me! Nothing beats God! HE IS GOOD!!!!!!!!! I love you each dearly...even the ones I have yet to meet that read!!! I love you!!!!!

I also had a wonderful Monday because not long after I finished reading your emails here......

I started painting here.............(before i had students)looked back over at my computer and saw that I had missed two emails............one of them from the ever lovely and graceful............

FAITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pause- is this not the best pick. Oh i can't wait till i get married and get to lay in the leaves for pictures!!!!! looks so magical really!!!! I already told her last week that this is a FRAMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

play- anyway I quickly read the email and realized that I, yes Caroline, had in fact one the TOTE GIVEAWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could not believe it and started screaming with joy....

See i told you I was painting...i have on my Ms. Hughes apron!!!! hahahahahahahahhahahh this is the moment captured forever on the camera!!!!!I've got joy down in my heart....deep, deep down in my heart. J-O-Y down in my heart.....hahahhahahhahhah that song won't leave me!Faith you added the cherry on my big, fat, chocolate sundae from the Lord!!!!!!! OH my, i read the email over and over!!!! I just can't wait to strut my stuff around the Waxahachie square and at the farmers market with my darling tote!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much! love you friend!

There is more to say but I think I will wait for another time......lets just focus on Joy! Joy that comes from believers fellowshipping together and blessing each other. What happened the last two days was a beautiful picture of how the body of Christ works. We encourage each other, we pray for each other, like Faith....we bless each other when we can.........so all my heart wants to do now is say two verses that I put up on the blog a lot......BUT......they are the best....and perfect for this evening.....

" The precepts of the LORD are right,

giving JOY to the HEART.

The commands of the LORD are RADIANT,

giving LIGHT to the EYES."

Psalm 19.8

*************************************

"YOU will show ME the PATH of LIFE;

in YOUR presence is FULLNESS of JOY;

at YOUR right hand are

PLEASURES FOREVERMORE."

ps 16.11

you are our joy Father. Our laugh out loud, cherry on top, tote carrying, email blessing JOY! Thank you that you are my very own! I love you for putting the light in our eyes!
