You can’t fake JOY
May 2, 2015
Here’s a new definition of joy. “Joy is a pervasive sense of well-being.” What would a “spiritual selfie” of your life reveal? Would it reveal that you are living a life of joy?

from the castle of my heart
O let it fly in the Sky
let the whole world know
that the KING is in residence here
Joy on the inside reflects on the outside, not dependent on circumstances.

We were lying on a blanket, soaking up the ...

While those roles are sacred, I knew deep down there was more of me waiting to be found. I was searching for myself… learning how to honor my truth, how to listen to my own voice, and how to step into confidence in who I am. Then I found the barn. And slowly, quietly… it began to change ...
