5 Joys...2 weeks

Two weeks ago I shared with you about a MOPS speaker, Dienna Goscha, creator of River's Edge curriculum, who challenged us to write down 5 things each day that brought us Joy. Read about that post here: 5 Joys.

Well two weeks have passed and I have written down my 5 joys every single day! I thought I would share a few of my top joys of the past two weeks. (**Picking just 5 was way harder than I thought**)


1. My MOPS table...simply put...they are the best!

2. Surprising my Mom! Kelsey, Elijah and I drove up to Staples on the Tuesday after Mother's Day to surprise her on her day off!!

3. Getting our Mini Photo Session pictures back!! (Here is a sneak peek...more to come in Thursday's post)

5.Elijah's new scrunchy face!!  

What about you... Have you been writing down your joys? Did you make a journal? What have been your top 5 joys in the last two weeks?

5 Joys

Today our speaker, Dienna Goscha, creator of River's Edge curriculum, at MOPS talked about joy and having a heart of joy. I really think God was using her to speak directly to me this morning! Lately for some reason I have not had a heart full of joy and I desperately need to get back to that place. Dienna gave us tips on how to find joy WHILE running a household and raising our children. One of the things she shared was to write down 5 things EACH day that brought us joy. When we think about the things that bring us joy we become more joyful. Today she asked us to write down 5 things, so we spent a few minutes doing that, and then shared them! 

Here we my 5 for today (well my 5 before 11am)...

1. Josh got up early with Elijah

2. No poopy diapers for me to change (Since E poops before 630am 99% of the time)

3. My MOPS table...wonderful ladies

4. Making a craft at MOPS...I like love crafts!

5. DIET COKE!!

I am going to make a journal and start writing down my 5 joys for each day...I think it will be both challenging and rewarding! 

Care to share...what are your 5 joys from today?!?
