I love you so: Joy Ebel

I want you to think of the most genuine person you know, a person who is so compassionate that they will do anything for you and anyone they cross paths with. Think of someone who can turn you into a better person just by spending with them, someone who radiates joy. These people don't have a selfish bone in their body. Serving others is what makes them the most happy. I know a few people like this, but the one I want you to admire is Joy. I am so blessed to have such a beautiful friend like her. She is so real. She speaks truth and she is so grateful for what she has (a quality most people have forgotten) Joy always finds the good in things. Her and I had a very similar childhood, we both grew up in huge families and have many of the same stories. I think we were the only two kids in the 90's who didn't grow up watching TV but played outside everyday. Ask either of us about 90's pop culture and we could take a good guess and probably be way off. We have spent countless hours talking over hundreds cups of coffee. These are my favorite moments with Joy, we can just sit and talk for hours and hours. We have both been there for each other when we just needed someone to listen while we ramble. I am truly blown away by her love for God and people. Joy I am proud of you and I am over the moon God placed you in my life. ;)
