There have been a lot of NEW things in my life lately. The summer started by purchasing a NEW car (well actually it’s used, but new to me). Then I headed off to many NEW experiences in a NEW country, Uganda, coming home with a completely NEW perspective on life. A week later I… Continue reading joyfullyblessed and made NEW!

Joyfullyblessed… to Remember Redemptively
Forgive and Forget. That’s what we’ve all be told since we were two-years old, right? Yet, I don’t know if any of us really are able to truly forget. I’m currently reading a book called, “Every Thought Captive” by Jerusha Clark.

Joyfullyblessed… to Continue Blogging
So, I originally started this blog a couple years ago but didn’t do much with it. After blogging so much in Africa and falling in love with writing in general again, I decided, why not keep a blog at least through my internship?
