Just a glimpse of me...

My photo
Do you ever feel STUCK? In 2000, I began looking for answers to some tough questions in my life. I'd searched high & low and finally conceded to search the promises found in the Bible. Those promises have sustained & guided me through the loss of a parent, the struggle with anxiety & depression, the loss of a valued relationship and so much more! I've found joy amid the pain. And, I want to share it with you!

      Thanks Anita! My grandma always asked, "Are you feeling puny?" when we seemed a bit off - ha ha! The pics are a great reminder to me of the details to each of the short #JoyDare posts... I LOVE PICTURES :)

    Our internet is NOT working (thankfully I have a smartphone to post this quickly). I may seem distant until things get back up and running. To quote a phrase I used a lot in my college days:
    It's not YOU. It's ME!

    Love this! I too have a One Thousands Gift journal and post from time to time... it's been awhile - since I have posted or written down the gifts actually! Thanks for the reminder!
