Joy

This year I'm going to try and find joy in my life. More often anyway (because I know that it would be unrealistic of me to expect myself to be joyful always...)

So I'm trying to focus on 

Jesus

Others

Yourself (me!)

In that order... I have many ambitions for myself this year, I love a new year (like a  a new journal, or new canvas) all sorts of new possibilities! 

As most of you know last year I started sharing my Bible Journaling and found encouragement in all the positive feedback I was getting. I was nervous to share at first but I will continue to because of so many of you being encouraged by it. I'd love it if you started doing it in your own Bible too!! 

Well during the holidays I got in a funk and started believing a lie.. When I went to do my first entry of the year I opened to this page and these words stuck right out at me. 

What a great way to start the new year! may I stop believing the lie that---just because things aren't going my way God is against me. 

Have a JOY-ful new year friends!
