Katie's prayer: Tree63's "Joy"

I wanna be a joy to You always. 

I have a phone date with my mother every Sunday afternoon. We discuss life, what's going on her side of the state, what's going on my side of the state, anything really. My mom is one of my best friends, so these discussions are usually a very enjoyable experience. Usually. There have been times we've discussed things that we disagree on. When that happens, the conversation usually ends soon and we agree to disagree. But, by the time for our next conversation (either the next week or a random call during the week) we've both put it behind us. Conversation continues normally. 

I feel like the same thing can happen with God. (although it's more often than a weekly date with Him) Conversation goes great. When we reach a subject we disagree on, sometimes the conversation might end there. Sometimes it will go on forever with me pleading my side. But in the end, that one disgreement from that one conversation does not affect my relationship with God. At least not on my end. I can only pray the same is true for God. 

In both cases, I never like the disagreement part. (Who really does?) I just wanna be a joy to them all the time which means not disagreeing with them. But that would mean giving up my will, my wants. I don't wanna do that. (: so I'm stuck. But I think God's joy is more imporant than me getting my way, or trying to get my way.
