Why I “Count it all Joy” Wednesday


Welcome to Why I Count It All Joy Wednesday!!  
To join in on all the JOY, grab my button for your post, make your own JOY list, 
and link up below this post so others will be able to find your blog!!  
Don’t forget to post a link on your blog back to me!!



I am filled with JOY because Jesus loves ME and wants to spend time with ME!!
I am filled with JOY because the Lord made such a wonderful husband just for me and he is home from China!!  WOO HOO
I am filled with JOY because Monday when my electricity went out for hours, and I was so worried that the hundreds of dollars of food I had already purchased for the wedding I am catering this weekend would be ruined, and Dan was still out of town, Loren’s sweet hubby called and was all ready to bring a generator and hook it up for me and save the day!!  Praise the Lord the electricity came back on and he didn’t have too!!  THANK YOU BRIAN!!
I am filled with JOY because Loren and Jantzen are coming to hang with us and help with the wedding catering preparations Saturday!!  
I am filled with JOY because a week from tomorrow we are leaving for our much needed vacation to the sandy beaches of California!!  I have never been there, I am soooooo excited!!
I am filled with JOY because my sweet granddaughter, Ella, tells me daily how much she is going to miss me while we are gone!!  I love how much she loves me!!
I am filled with JOY because Shane was supposed to leave for his next deployment training while we were in California and we wouldn’t get to see him before he leaves, but he found out yesterday that he won’t leave until a week after we are back now!!  Have to cherish every minute until he leaves in February for Afghanistan!!
I am filled with JOY because I have just about finished picking our curriculum and deciding what all we are going to do in school this year!!  You would think after 11 years it would be a NO-BRAINER, but it’s not!!
I am filled with JOY because there is a new yogurt place in town!!  It has like 12 different flavors and tons of toppings and you get to serve yourself, toppings and all!!  We went, it was so YUMMY!!
I am filled with JOY because JOY is contagious and you guys are helping me spread it!!

What has been filling you with JOY lately?
Counting it all Joy!!
