Overview

Joy is an emotion of happiness and there are many words, thoughts and actions that can invoke joy in any number of situations. I have had the opportunity over the last few years to get to know Jamie primarily through our many contacts before and after Sunday worship services. It is always enjoyable to talk with Jamie because he smiles, jokes around and has an upbeat personality. Over this time, I have also come to learn and understand Jamie's deep faith in God. The collection of poems in this book reflects the importance of faith in Jamie's life. As in any journey, a guide or a compass helps to keep you pointed in the right direction. Jamie's compass is his unwavering belief in knowing Jesus is always with him, that he is not alone, that he has a purpose, that his friends and family are with him, and that he is important in the eyes of God. This is a clear and constant message throughout this book. Jamie's poems provide the opportunity to reflect on our own lives and to think about our own relationship with God. We see the importance of God in Jamie's life, but what about ours? As many of these poems illustrate, God is always there and His presence reveals itself in many different ways and in unexpected moments. The type of joy Jamie shares with us in this book, is to take a moment and know that Jesus is always there. Thank you Jamie for sharing your gift of writing, for sharing the joys and struggles you have encountered, and most of all for sharing the importance of faith in God and each other. Don Newman Below are 2 poems from the book.JOY I can feel joy through and through It's nothing anyone did or can do Nor can it be measured In this world's broken treasure It is within me An ascending, slow process A prayer that transcends basic understanding The undeserving gift of forgiveness A whole new world is just beginning. YOU ARE ENOUGH You are enough You were created in the image of the Creator You are enough You were woven and knitted together from the depths of the earth You are enough Each of us were chosen to do good works You are enough Through our weakness, His grace is sufficient You are enough Do not persecute yourself We have all fallen short of Glory You are enough Nothing, nothing will separate you from God's love You are enough No matter the scars, He is with you You are enough Oh, how great and lavishing is His love We are all children of God We can no longer be afraid The dawn chases away the dark We are enough We are enough.
