I am filled with JOY because this week I decided to put a new spin on my JOY list.  After months of my family reading my Wednesday “JOY” posts, I decided to get them involved.  I asked my sweet hubby and my three youngest boys to give me two reasons they are filled with JOY this week.  They all not only jumped right on it, but did it with JOY!!
I am filled with JOY because I have such a hilarious and loving family.- Isaac
I am filled with JOY because there are people willing to risk their lives to spread the gospel. - Isaac
I am filled with JOY because God is so good. - Adam
I am filled with JOY because my parents have dedicated their lives to giving kids (us and every kid they have ministered to doing Children’s Ministry) a firm foundation in Christ. - Adam
I am filled with JOY because I have parents who have taught me to LOVE JESUS. - Drew
I am filled with JOY because I have a super close family that is not afraid to laugh. - Drew 
I am filled with JOY because I have a family that endures my being a pack rat and laughs with (at) me about it. - Dan
I am filled with JOY because I have the ability to laugh, even when not everyone around me is laughing or when it might not seem like there is something to laugh about. - Dan
I am filled with JOY because the Lord has blessed me with the JOY I get from being Dan’s wife, Lindsey, Shane, Drew, Adam, and Isaac’s mom, Andy’s mother-in-law, Ella’s Nanny, and friends with all of you!!
JOY is contagious!!  My family caught on, spread the JOY to your family and they will catch on too!!  I can already feel Joy changing our world one family at a time!!
SO LOVE YOU ALL!!
Counting it all Joy!!

That's a great idea to include the whole family! I enjoy reading it every week and want to post at some time. I am so thankful for the joy of the Lord. He has given me joy and peace through the uncertainty. I am the type that normallly worries, but I haven't been about this (you can read more on my blog post). And I'm just so thankful for that!
