Our fears or worries can have a bigger grip on us Our fears or worries can have a bigger grip on us than we realize... until it's time to let them go. It's the topic on the blog (link in profile). Meet me there for "When Sand Says More Than We Know." #liveyourjoystory #joytothesoul  #SummerVibes
This week in the Joy to the Soul Summer☀️series, @ This week in the Joy to the Soul Summer☀️series, @carologlemccracken  guest writer (and my fellow team member on the #YourDailyBibleVerse Podcast) is sharing encouragement and an unexpected faith adventure with us! 

If you've ever felt like you were living off the grid, you know what it's like to be away from what or who you usually have access to. It can bring feelings of discomfort or adventure. But Carol reminds us that maybe part of experiencing God’s joy is remembering that our security was never really in our circumstances to begin with.

This weekend, I attended @proverbs31ministries Min This weekend, I attended @proverbs31ministries Ministries' #shespeaks2026 conference. I am grateful for this event that equips and encourages Christian women who write, speak, and lead.

Many days, God's calling feels so much larger than my ability (the way I feel in front of this huge #SheSpeaks sign😊). But most days, my podium is my keyboard. 

I'm honored to share biblical truth alongside real-life experiences on the @first5app, the #yourdailybibleverse podcast, the @youversion Bible app, with @entrusted_women and the #joytothesoul blog. I'm so grateful for this experience. The journey continues.  #liveyourjoystory
