Joisey and Joisey

Jul 16, 2016

Wow. 11 months (I realized afterwards that it was passed midnight). ðŸ˜­ðŸ˜­ðŸ˜­ðŸ˜­ðŸ˜­ so I'm aimlessly and insomniacly scrolling through Facebook. And I see the name "josie" and I'm like yeah kinda looks like Joisey. So u know me I get to digging. I've searched joislens name but never her nickname. I searched on Fb. And a lot of things came back about New Jersey (with an accent) but then I stumbled upon this one video a couple minutes into my search. The only video I watched after passing by 13 others. Nothing in the description made me feel like this one would give me a sign I wasn't search for a sign I was just wasting time. One of the first words sung was heaven and I just closed my eyes and tried to listen quietly as to not wake my husband. It's sung by a lady name joi. Joisey. The lyrics pierced my soul as tears welled up in my eyes. I looked them up afterwards so I could read it too. Song about angels. Heaven. Being a Sunday school teacher (which I am). sacrifices on earth that were honored in heaven by all the people whose lives were touched. I've never heard this song before. And now it's another one for our culmination. Now its our song of ministry. His glory, our joi. It's called 'thank you' by Ray boltz. Happy 11 months my loveliest. You are so pleasant to my heart. God thank you for allowing me to have a spiritual relationship with my daughter that transcends bodily death. One day. We too. Will transcend bodily death.
These lines jumped out at me:
"Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am so glad you gave.
One by one they came
Far as the eye could see.
Each life somehow touched
By your generosity.
Little things that you had done,
Sacrifices made,
Unnoticed on the earth
In heaven, now proclaimed.
And I know up in heaven
You're not supposed to cry
But I am almost sure
There were tears in your eyes.
As Jesus took your hand
And you stood before the Lord.
He said, "My child, look around you.
Great is your reward."
Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am so glad you gave.
