JOYful Reflections

This week I have "reflected" on the JOYful weekend that God blessed me last weekend!  I've shared with you in my blog posts some of the things we discussed and the lessons we gleaned from God's Word as we gathered at the "EnJOY the Journey" Conference in Pooler at Rothwell Baptist. As this week comes to a close, I'd like to try to summarize the experience in a few short sentences by sharing some of the lessons of JOY that God taught me through this event.

• God  takes care of details, large and small.
• God honors our prayers, when our hearts are tender toward Him and His plan.
• Sisters in Christ are Sisters of JOY...no matter how long (or short time) you have known them.
• Christians of ALL ages can be used by God to spread His love and JOY to others.
• We all have gifts, talents and abilities that are to be used by Him.  BUT we have to be willing to allow Him to work through us.
• Every church and every Christian has struggles.  However, we can still have JOY in our relationship with Him.
• We need to strive to become more and more like Christ with each passing day. 
• Saturate yourself with God's Word, spend time daily in prayer and quiet time, apply the Truth to every area of your life......and YOU WILL EXPERIENCE GENUINE JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a wonderfully blessed, JOYful Fall weekend!  See ya Monday! Until then: Don't forget to drink your JOY JUICE!
