Hi friends – I hope each of you are doing well. For this post I wanted to share a few things that bring me joy. My relationship with the Lord Jesus brings me joy because I know the Lord is with me every step of my life and faith journey. My husband of twenty four years, my family, friends and church family bring me so much joy. Investing in children within my community brings me a tremendous amount of joy. Being another person in the life of a child that tells them they are loved, valued and valuable in the eyes of the Lord is a privilege. Another thing that bring me joy is writing. Back in March 2014 I started on a writing journey and it has changed me forever. Writing was never on my radar of things to do in life but I leaned into that prompting and joy followed. Several years after that writing journey started I rediscovered John 15:16 (see image). This scripture has stayed deeply rooted in my heart for a few years now. I am so thankful that Jesus speaks to us through scripture and will use it to direct our life path. This scripture reminds me that I have been called to bear good fruit and part of that fruit is investing in young families. I will share more about my writing journey in another post.
So what brings you joy? As mentioned I would love to hear your stories friends. Part of this blog is about creating a community that will share, encourage and spread some joy around.
Until next time my friends remember you are known and loved by the Lord Jesus. Blessings!
