As this year draws to a close, my heart is full. This season has been one of quiet restoration and abundant grace, and I wanted to pause and share a few of the ways the Lord has been so kind to me.
One of the greatest joys of this year has been welcoming my sixth grandchild, sweet Juniper Joyner. To watch my family grow has been such a gift. My grandchildren continue to be a daily source of laughter, wonder, and joy: James is now 8, Verity is 6, Rett Joyner-3, Luca -3, Gemma- 1 yr, Juniper 6 months. Each one feels like a reminder that God is always bringing new life and fresh joy.
This year also brought meaningful new beginnings. I began working with a wonderful missionary organization, Be One Together, and it has been a deep blessing to serve alongside people who love the Lord and care about His work around the world. I am continually encouraged by what God is doing through His people.
