I had the awesome privilege to write a guest-post for Melanie Redd this week! My published piece is written on a rather controversial subject, but one that is near and dear to my heart.
If you have a chance to read it, I’d love to hear your feedback. Read it here ===>>> Same-sex Relationships: Biblical Response to Gay Friends & Family

Introducing Joy A. Williams!
Hi! I’m Joy! I encourage sincere or sidetracked truth seekers with “hope for the heart and joy to the soul.” I live in North Carolina with my husband Brady and our son Ryan.
When did you begin your blogging journey, and why?
My blogging journey began in 2014, after attending a conference for Christian women writers, speakers and leaders. I saw blogging as a way to sharpen my writing skills and embrace God’s call to share biblical insights and encouragement. I remain amazed at how He took my hesitant heart and made me a persistent poster!
Five Faves
Fave Show– I have a favorite movie to fit whichever mood I’m in. But my favorite TV show is This is Us.
Fave Pastime- I enjoy sipping tea as I talk to a friend, read a book or scan a screen.
Fave Quote- “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” – Corrie ten Boom
Fave Book– My favorite book is Alicia Britt Chole’s “Anonymous.”
Fave Bible Character– John the baptizer: He embraced God’s purpose with humility and spoke God’s truth with conviction.
Fun Fact
I used to perform cardiac testing to check for the heart’s rhythm. Now I write words to encourage people’s hearts.
Prayer Prompt
Please pray for my blog to continue to serve and grow in God-honoring ways.

Featured Post
In my college days, I boarded the Wolverine Express to take me home. I joined the crowded train with other Michigan students, showing our love for all things “maize and blue.”
Sitting snuggly in my seat with my favorite trail mix, life felt easy. Eventually, I drifted from my snack and daydreamed out the window- until truth interrupted my thoughts..
It happened somewhere between the Kalamazoo and the Battle Creek stations. I saw the bible verse with letters so large, I had to tilt my head back to take it in.
It was painted on the side of a building, perfectly positioned for a traveler needing some encouragement. It was perfectly positioned for me:
“Come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

Hi, did you know there are spells to win love back from an ex. I have done it. I love reading about relationships and how to make them work, how to better the relationship, and how to keep the spark alive, even how to talk to them a certain way to get them to think a different way about the situation and you. If you need advice or want to win your ex back, try DR EMU copy and message on the following ( Email: emutemple@gmail.com ) or ( WhatsApp: +2347012841542 ) It will change your mentality and get you what you want.
