I love writing. It's a way that I can get my frustrations out, express my feelings, or share my Joy. This blog isn't about me or my family, but rather about what pops into my mind to share to you all. Right now, I don't even know who "you all" are, but I hope and pray that God will use my words to be uplifting, encouraging, and point you to the cross; the one that my Savior died on in my place, taking on the wrath of God. If you are looking to know more about who My Savior is, please ask! I would be happy to share!
The inspiration behind the name of my blog came to me through my Bible study time about 4 months ago. I had been feeling God's leading to share some of the things that He is teaching me, but I didn't know how to go about that. Like I mentioned before, I enjoy writing, so I though "Ooh! I'll write a blog!" But I had no idea where to start. I sat on my bed one afternoon with my Bible open and just prayed for God to use me in whatever way he wanted. I was reading through I Thessalonians that week for my quiet time, and I cam to these verses:
I Thessalonians 5:16-18
"Be Joyful Always; Pray continually; Give Thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus"
God spoke to me in that moment. He showed me that I can be an encouragement to women all over the globe, if I just open myself up to share.
And so, my inspiration comes from these verses written above. Be Joyful Always. That isn't a recommendation, it's a direct command! Always be Joyful.
I Thessalonians 5:16-18 is my life mission. If I do nothing more, I pray that I am Always Joyful, praying continually, and thankful through every circumstances. I pray this for your life as well.
