JOY


Joy and I at Notre Dame, Picture taken by DC Curry for mom's birthday. 


If you know nothing else about me, you should know that I love this girl with all my heart!!  My little sister is my bestest friend, and I'm so grateful for her.  She's absolutely hilarious, and can make me laugh anywhere, anytime.  I call her Joy, because she brings great JOY to my life, and if you don't know her, you should, because she'll bring JOY to your life too!!

Love you, Joy :)

Abundant Giver

One thing I LOVE about scripture is that I can read the same passage over and over again and get something new out of it everytime. I've read the following passage multiple times, and have skipped over another awesome quality of God a number of times...until recently. In Matthew 14, Jesus' disciples came to him, weary, because they didn't have enough food to feed the crowd of 5,000. All they had were 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish, but Jesus took the bread and broke it and provided enough food for all the people.

They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfulls of broken pieces that were left over." -Matthew 14:20

Wait! Did you catch that?! Not only did Jesus provide them with enough food to satisfy them, but there were LEFT OVERS! Amazing! God will always provide, and He won't just provide, but He will provide in ABUNDANCE! God is good!!
