Welcome to the blog!

Welcome to the blog!

Hello and welcome! I am so glad that you’re here! You know, the world we live in is tough. It’s always been, but currently it seems like real truth is hard to find. You really have to dig, and even then, we often miss something until it’s too late, I know I sure do.

Hi, I’m Joy. I’m a 14 year old with a passion. I love people, and it breaks my heart to see them hurting and confused. Let’s just say my life isn’t your normal scenario. I live in a motorhome with my family, in which we travel full-time for our family band. I’m homeschooled. And I think – a lot – maybe a little too much sometimes, so I apologize in advance. Since I was little I’ve been dazed by how things so simple have become so complicated, and in the process, burying the truth. This blog is a big step for me, and here’s why, I have a lot of big thoughts, but I’ve always been afraid of offending someone. But I’ve realized recently that if I want to share myself, I will always end up offending someone, and I’m okay with that.

Yeah, I know. By ordinary standards I’m young. And even though that can bring struggles of it’s own (trust me, they’re real), I have an amazing opportunity. And here’s the thing with opportunities, they could be an opening door. And if you choose to walk through an open door, no one knows how God might be able to work.

So, in light of that. I pray that this will be a place where you feel seen, and heard. Where no topic is off-limits because of something someone might think. I pray that what I have to say might be of some value, and that I might be able to point things out in a different light. A little warning, from time to time I might step on some toes, and that’s okay. I also know that I’ll make mistakes. But even so, I know that God can use me in big ways. So if I obey Him, the rest doesn’t really matter. So let me welcome you to my blog, I hope you’ll find a little bit of freshness to what I have to say, and that you’ll feel wanted, and empowered, not by my strength, but His. -Joy Rachel
