Today is my One-Hundredth Blog Post on The Joyful Truth! I’m kind of amazed. I’ve loved writing these posts. Exploring ideas and questions, sharing struggles and lessons from my life, and talking about God’s Word. I don’t know just how to describe how important this Book is to me.

Only My All
Only My All A Poem, By Joy Aletheia Stevens ~ This meager offering be A sacrifice, unto Thee. A heart of praise to You I bring. A song of praise to You I sing. ~ Only all I have is Yours, All my all, down to my core, All that I can do for Thee. […]
Am I an Enviromentalist?
Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created mankind in his own […]
Starlight
Starlight A Poem By Joy Aletheia Stevens ~ There is a point of light I see, Just a tiny needle point in a vast blue sea, Winking, blinking, it shines down on me, Shimmering, gazing, almost singing to me. ~ I see a diamond on a velvet field, Not a single solitaire, but a countless […]

My very first Mothers Day was a miserable one. My baby girl was still in the NICU and I had somehow contracted pink-eye, so I couldn’t even see her. My husband went to church and then the hospital and I spent most of the day by myself, trying to not cry and spread the infection […]
The Words of Love

Hush My Voice
Hush My Voice A Poem, By Joy Aletheia Stevens ~ Hush my voice, do not say that word, Calm yourself, think with reason! Laugh less, do not feel the chord That connects you for this season. ~ You’ve never felt so calm, Yet never felt so distressed, You’ve never felt such healing balm, Except when […]
