Joy

On Wednesday night at church we had a great lesson about women in the New Testement. They were in there too, even if there's not a whole lot about them. And we didn't just talk about Mary. We talked about Lydia, Joanna, and Priscilla. They're awesome.
Then, near the end of the lesson, our Youth Minister's wife went up and answered some questions about being a woman of strong faith when your in high school and stuff. And she said something about Joy, how she loves it when people are joyful, and gave us an acronym for it. 

 

Put Jesus first, others second, and yourself last. I love this so much, because it's a really good thing to think about and try to practice. I believe Jesus should be first in our lives, no matter what we're doing. Then think of others, and lastly, yourself. 

I've had this on my mind ever since then, and I can't stop thinking about it. So now I really want to try and do it. To have joy, both ways. Because being joyful is lovely. I love finding things that make me happy, and I rather like being joyful in general.

So. Today I'm going to try to choose joy. To be happy and enjoy things, and also try to use the acronym. Which I think is great to apply for every day life.

Today I chose Joy. What are you gonna chose?
