“Even in the life of a Christian, faith rises and falls like the tides of an invisible sea. It’s there, even when he can’t see it or feel it if he wants it to be there. You realize, I think, that it is more valuable, more mysterious, altogether more immense than anything you can learn or decide upon. It will keep you free – not free to do anything you please, but free to be formed by something larger than your own intellect or the intellects around you.”
Flannery O’Connor
Thank you for being patient with me while I drew away quietly during Holy Week. As I’ve walked out of the tomb beside Him, He is already leading me to so many beautiful affirmations of how much He loves…all of us.
During these next 50 days of Easter I do pray I can find the ways to show you some of them. But I know I will miss a few…so please show ME what you have found too – so that we can all REJOICE in them together.
hugs n’ blessings for all the JOY we shall give thanks for!

😊I pray to always be Third, Faye. (Jesus first, Others second & Yourself third = JOY.) And in doing so may my JOY always be seen as coming for Him. Thank you for your heartfelt support – it encourages me to remain authentic as I trudge this road of happy destiny!! 💕

Thank you, Karla. I am indeed blessed and it is an honor to share my life with others who are striving to live a Christ-centered life. The Joy is easy to convey when we place Christ’s lens before all things. I am thankful for the days it is an automatic endeavor…and ask forgiveness when I fail to put it properly in place. Indeed, what a Savior we serve – who loves us despite our forgetfulness to live out every moment as if only seen by Him. Sending you many hugs and special blessings!😘
