A giveaway with Joni Lay (she’s insane)

April 2, 2015 //  by Courtney

Lay-Baby-Lay-22_anteji

I am getting so much better at comparison and the close friend of that devil – coveting. However, when anything Joni Lay does comes across my screen – I drool a little.

This girl is TRULY gifted. Her eye, her creativity – it’s insane.

I might try something – I might send her a box of random stuff – like a stick, a hammer, underwear and a trophy – and I bet she would decorate a room worthy of Land of Nod catalog. Wait, she’s already been in there.

Don’t get me wrong – I’ve got ideas. They just look like it’s toddler craft time over here.

She’s the creative genius behind ReProm for Care For Aids.

She just whips up a play house that leaves me splotchy.

Here’s the deal though – it gets worse. You know when you meet someone so pretty but they are a jerk? You can almost be OK with their annoying beauty.

And then you meet someone like Joni. She is so talented and beautiful – but her heart for Jesus and serving others is what comes flowing so fast out of her. We have mutual friends – they are really her besties. I just pretend we are tight. You can only love someone so pure.

One of the ways I have found to combat comparison and coveting – is to celebrate other women. To make a conscious choice to appreciate another one’s gifts. Because we all have them. They are just different.

Ella said to Larson the other day regarding a rude game of freckle count. “Larson, it’s not a competition. It’s what God gave you.” AMEN Ella.

Joni – you’re killing it. You’re not perfect. You’re humble. You’re a risk taker and you inspire me so much.

I’m honored to know you.
