Found In The Blind Place: A Poem About Trust

August 12, 2015 By: Joycomment

Found In The Blind Place A Poem About Trust By Joy Aletheia Stevens ~ Step, Step, Step, One Foot at a time, As my voice chokes out a strangled “help!’ And I reach for the Divine. ~ Sometimes seeing eyes are very blind, And hearts alone can see, And only when our hands are in […]

Book Review: Jesus Was An Airborne Ranger by John McDougall

August 10, 2015 By: Joycomment

The idea of the wimpy Sunday school Christ is one that has always irritated me to no end, and a complaint I often have is that this culture doesn’t seem to understand the strength of a Savior who chooses to lay down His life for us. Given these facts I found the book Jesus Was […]

7 Apps to Help You Engage Your Faith

August 7, 2015 By: Joycomment

In honor of The YouVersion Bible apps new redesign, today I’m going to share with you seven apps I use in my daily devotion time! “There’s an app for that.” has been a fairly common refrain for quite awhile now, to the point that the phenomena is rather old news, but the huge resource that is […]

Turning Thirty and Smiling: Happy Birthday to Me!

July 20, 2015 By: Joy2 Comments

Today is my birthday, my thirtieth birthday, and I am SO blessed. So thankful, so overwhelmed with gratitude for my life. Nearly fifteen years ago I was diagnosed with liver disease, and I remember asking the doctor how long I would be healthy, how long I would be ok. He couldn’t answer. A few years? […]

A Patch of Green Grass

July 10, 2015 By: Joycomment

The evening was cool, and refreshing after a week of one-hundred degree weather. Summer, in full swing in drought ridden California, can be described in one word: Oven. Over the months my eyes have seen more brown, dead, grass than I’ve ever seen before, a testament that the people here are increasingly concerned with the evidence of dryness around […]

Book Review: Praying Upside Down by Kelly O’Dell Stanley

June 20, 2015 By: Joy2 Comments

I am so late getting this review out! But somehow I couldn’t rush through this book. Praying Upside Down, by Kelly O’Dell Stanley is one of the best books on prayer I have ever read. No joke. Right from the start this book had my attention, probably because Kelly spoke in words very familiar to […]

Tossing No Stones

June 5, 2015 By: Joy2 Comments

My heart aches inside me, it breaks. I see such hate, such disgust, so many pointed fingers. But most of all, I see pain. A person, genetically male, has called himself female. One side rises, in triumph, in rejoicing over freedom of expression of self. The other side rises vehemently in disgust and condemnation. And […]

Questions

May 29, 2015 By: Joy6 Comments

Doubt plagues my mind. Am I a writer? Should I even be trying at this whole blogging thing? Am I a failure? Do I have a voice that matters? So many times I fall into the same trap: Judging myself based on how I think the world would judge me, and finding myself wanting. I’ve […]

Lean In to the Light

April 22, 2015 By: Joycomment

I love spring, I love the beauty of flowers peeking out, I love the smell of fresh earth in a garden, I love the sunshine. Spring has a kind of smell to it, a kind of freshness to the air. It speaks of earth and growth and life. Makes me want to plant something! Unfortunately, […]
