"Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting."--Psalm 139:23-24.

Joyful is my nickname that my friends call me. I'm Joy. I'm just trying to live for God each day in this crazy messed up world around me. I'm not perfect nor do I ever want to be. Reading is one of my favorite hobbies along with music, writing and the beach. Volunteering is something else that I also like to do (Awana program, Grace Cafe, Donating Blood, etc).
