I thankyou Father for the joy you have given to me.  My heart is filled to the brim.  I thankyou that my soul's  content is in You.  Lord thankyou that others recognize that it is You; you're the only reason the smile in my heart never fades.   I praise you Lord and lift your Name high!  Thankyou Jesus, thankyou! 

 

It is so nice when followers and, non-followers alike, can see the impact of Jesus in your life.  I went to my best friend's home the other day and talked with some of the people she has met in other states through chats and what not; on aol.  Alot of the people were either down or just not feeling the best that day because of some thing that went wrong.  Some of them weren't very nice to me either, but still i stayed the same and one boy i was talking to, i asked if i could pray for.  All the while my best friend sat behind me and read over my shoulder the conversations i were having.  She tryed explaining to me the different people's stories and why they were acting towards me the way they were.  Then she said something that in a good and bad way, really meant something to me.  She said 'Audra, you are just too happpy for these people.  All of them are like ''ho hum this sucks', and you are like 'yay'"  I dont know if that would mean anything to someone else, but for me it showed me that not everyone feels the same way about life that i do.   I've always known that some dont percieve what life is, when it is in Christ.  But my best friend knows how Christ has brought purely true joy to my life, and for her to recognize it against these other friends was  very honoring to me.  So in brief, i wished to say, here, that i am so very thankfull to the Father for the joy i feel and live from before i wake up, to before i go to bed.  My heart is enveloped in it.  Thankyou Jesus.  I pray i might be only a reflection of your heart.
