Rejoice
Rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS.(Phil. 4:4) I read that this morning and I thought surely God didn't really mean always. That would mean that I was to be rejoicing at all times. I am thinking maybe it means something different in Greek. Like always with the exception of when Hayley Bobay's feelings don't align. or maybe always except for when Hayley Bobay would rather pout and feel sorry for herself. Then I thought to myself...how hilarious...I can make even the simple word ALWAYS be and revolve completely around me! God help our naturally self centered natures! So here is what I am rejoicing in...That God has revealed Himself deeper into the depths of my spirit, soul, and being. I am rejoicing that I have such a Godly husband who loves me so purely (and he's HOT too!) I am rejoicing that I am seeing my family this weekend. I am rejoicing that I have a wonderful job. I am rejoicing that God has placed a Godly mentor in my life that I look up to and respect. I am rejoicing that God restored my voice in spite of my times of pride. Ok I am all joiced out....shoot...that totally defeats the purpose, and thus the cycle begins! I am off to the world of STELLA

I am going to rejoice that I have met you My New Inspiring Blog Friend! Thanks for your help...
good thoughts! I also, with Amber, rejoice that God placed you in our lives. I am so blessed to know you.
hey girl! cute new haircut! i've been reading a little bit of your blog, trying to catch up with you and your life. sounds like a lot has gone on in the past few months/weeks. since i haven't kept up, i didn't know about the miscarriage you had in february. my heart can only imagine what that must of been like but what a blessing that He had preplanned for you to be with your sweet parents. we are always inclined to ask "why" - but more often than not it seems like we don't get the answers we are looking for. we found out a few weeks ago that my pregnancy has a high risk for down syndrome. it's been an emotional road and i've often asked the same question. i guess God sees a purpose in us not knowing why - for me, it's caused my faith and trust in Him to grow by leaps and bounds. last week the doctor said everything looked ok but we won't have an answer until she gets here in October. so until then we'll have to trust that God is knitting her together according to His plan. in the same way, He knit that precious little life inside of you and for whatever reason decided to take it home early. i'm rambling but just wanted you to know i love you and will keep you in my prayers! stay in touch!
