Joy Jots
As noted on the Life Songs and Purpose Poems pages, when I started my blog in 2014 and created this website to house it, I had no idea that this would lead me to writing songs in 2021 and poems in 2022. It also led me to begin dabbling in graphic design and creating graphics of my own, which I began posting on my Facebook page in January 2023, many accompanied by short writings. 'Jottings' is the term I call these graphics and accompanying writings, or 'jots' for short. And I have now created this Joy Jots category on my website to house these in one central location.
The “joy” part of the name comes from my tagline. When I first started my blog back in 2014, my tagline was “Finding joy and purpose in everyday living.” As noted on the What I’m All About page, that is still my tagline, but it has much more meaning to me now. Through suffering, seeking, and surrender, I have learned how to truly abide in Jesus and find my joy in Him.
These jots are a reflection of that - thus Joy Jots. And I pray that in some way they will inspire you to find your joy in Him too.
