Lettitia

The name Lettitia means joy. The difference between having joy and being happy is that happiness depends on happenings. Joy is a condition of the mind, heart and soul that has nothing, or at least very little to do with what is going on in one's life. Joy takes place when the eyes are turned away from the happenstances of every day living and are focused on the call and purpose of our lives. Lettitia becomes the essence of joy when she gives her heart and life over to the True Joy Giver, Jesus Christ.

Lettitia may have a very happy and pleasant personality, one with which she was born. Since joy is the meaning of her name and ordained in the Lamb's Book of Life which was written before God even created the world, it would be logical to assume that God intended for her to be a joyful person. However a solemn outlook doesn't mean that she necessarily is sour or unhappy on the inside. Unlike happiness, joy is developed through, and because of what happens. Those who have experienced true sorrow also usually experience true joy.

Taking her life in stride, Lettitia tries to gain as much from each experiences as she can. She wastes nothing. She experiences joy in a beautiful sunrise, a baby's laugh, a good friend's hug and all the many tiny little things with which her life is filled. Looking to God as the Author and Finisher of her faith, Lettitia knows that life is short, therefore she lives it to the fullest, and in the mean time brings joy to those that share it with her.

Psalm 35: 9 And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in His salvation..
