The New Year

I was reading an article in one of the past Set Apart Girl Magazines about finding Joy in the Lord. I had been bouncing the idea back and forth whether or not to start a online journal and choosing one word to go by for the year. I've heard many others starting this and was amazed by it. I know we are ten days into the new year but I felt God tugging on my heart to focus on finding Joy in Him this year. Last year ended pretty rough and I was really looking forward to starting 2012 for many reasons. My life will be changing in many ways this year first by graduating from college in May which will mean I will need to be looking for a teaching job. Second, I will be getting married to my wonderful Fiance in June and will be moving three hours away from my family. I know not everyday will be perfect but there is always something about the beginning of a new year that I just love and that is starting something new. I feel that God is leading me to start this blog to not only help me find Joy in Him in my everyday life through the ups and downs but to also maybe encourage someone along the way that might need some Joy in their own life. :) So here is to a New Year and finding Joy in the Lord!

Many Blessings,
