Hi Everyone!
As I begin my journey in learning how to write my first post, (which hasn’t gone very good I might add), it feels very similar to my search for true lasting joy. This has not come easily or quickly for me but has become a lifelong process with it’s ups and downs, twists and turns and sometimes even dead ends. Of course there has also been many moments of enjoyment! Like spending time with family and friends, eating my favorite dessert, or hearing the laughter of a little child.
All of our lives have recently been altered in one way or another because of Covid-19. Can we find joy when life brings changes and disrupts our familiar way of living? Can we find peace and comfort when life brings tragedy, sickness and hardships? I can testify to you from my own personal experience that the answer is Yes!!! For me, finding true lasting Joy has come, first, from believing and knowing that I am a daughter of God with divine potential and worth. Second, by having faith in my Savior Jesus Christ who understands my imperfections and loves me unconditionally, and third, by thinking outside of myself and serving others.
My whole purpose in blogging is to share some of my most personal experiences, struggles and triumphs, in hopes that someone out there somewhere can feel lifted if only for a small moment and know that they are not alone, and that God is watching over them. ShareLIFT is an offering from my heart to show gratitude to the Lord for all that I am blessed with each day. I would love to hear my readers comments.
