Hello.
My name is Joy. I’m an author, spiritual director, recovering control freak, and a hypocrite.
You see, I’m writing a book about true surrender, yet I still often grab the steering wheel of my own life with white knuckles and try to steer my life (and the lives of those near me) my way. These are my confessions and the lessons I’ve learned as I work to develop muscle memory in my soul to truly let go.
You are invited to join me on this life journey as we learn together what it means to release completely. I’ll keep confessing when I try to control again and the lessons I’m learning along the way, and together we can learn to name what’s true as we encourage one another to let go.
Stop.
Rest.
Celebrate.
In other words, sabbath.
If life is raging around you, and you just can’t seem to find time to take a breath, let alone sort through your thoughts to be able to name what’s a lie and what is truth, then I invite you to try a new rhythm that creates space for rest and celebration.
And if you’re not sure where to begin or how sabbath is even possible with your busy schedule, then I have a starter’s guide for you.
Living from a posture of open hands and an open heart . . .
