STAY TUNED…. AMAZINGNGESS IS COMING!

PELASURE-JUBILATION-TRIUMPH-EXUBERANCE-GLADNESS
We have to embrace the obstacles to reach our next stage of JOY!
Joy- DEFINED- a feeling of great pleasure and happiness – I really do feel JOY as I prepare to leave for Shanghai. There is nothing like having the FREEDOM to live life! I am single. I am healthy. I am childless. Not if I was not those things I couldn’t do this, but everything is set before me to GO. My life is wonderful. My family is beautiful. My friends are the best. Now—I get to experience NEW. There is nothing like New!
May you find Joy in your everyday moments. I have decided to choose Joy every single day of my life. Not to say that there are not other moments that are not with joy because sure I have those, but I focus on the Joy.

Countdown is on!!!!

I am excited about life! I am filled with Hope. I am overwhelmed with JOY!
I am going to do my best to live by the ‘Glad Texts’
(one of my favorites is–Psalms 98:4) — Did you know that there are over 800 Glad Texts in the Bible?!?! More than one for each day of the year for me to live by.
