The Journey to Joy

I’m so glad you’re here. This blog is a space for joy-seekers, for women who long to live with purpose, delight in the everyday, and find the kind of joy God always intended, even when life feels heavy.

Let’s be honest, we carry responsibilities, fears, unanswered questions that weigh us down. Here is the good new: joy isn’t canceled. Just because life is hard doesn’t mean joy is gone. It’s still available. It is still promised. It’s worth chasing.

In Psalm 16:11, we’re reminded: “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” This verse anchors everything I hope this blog becomes. Joy isn’t a temporary feeling or a reward for having it all together. It’s found in the presence of God. And even when life is confusing, painful, or heavy, He still leads us on the path of life, step by step, moment by moment. If you have ever wondered whether joy could be real for you, this verse offers a holy yes.

That’s what this blog is all about. Not perfect answers to polished lives that hide the mess underneath. Just small sacred steps toward the kind of joy that shows up in quiet moments, belly laughs, answered prayers and even in the middle of the unknown.

Jesus said in John 15:11, “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.” As I pondered this, I stopped at the word complete and looked it up. In the Greek, complete means to fill to the brim. Can you imagine living life where you are filled with so much joy that it overflows? This kind of joy doesn’t depend on how we feel, our moods, or whatever is happening in our lives. It is a joy that grows as we spend time with Him.

The Bible tells us “the joy of the Lord is our strength” (Nehemiah 8:10). Not our own joy. Not our own strength. His. That’s what makes this journey possible. Joy doesn’t come from striving, it comes from staying connected to the One who gives it.

Joy isn’t a destination. It’s a daily invitation. And I would love to walk that road with you. So grab your coffee, exhale deeply and let’s begin this journey together.

Here’s to joy,

Famia
