Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places

One More Step

You lead me out of

the wilderness of my mind

every day

calling me to more

Somehow

Some way

Oh when I am tired

confused and disarrayed

You somehow get me

to take one more step

I don’t get it

but I trust it

because what else can I do?

I am already sold out on You

and others may mock me

for such a truth

but I have not found

a better Shepherd

This is not easy

but You are good

and I don’t even know how

but I sense that it is true

I see the world through stories and insights. I have always been a sensitive soul, especially towards nature, people, art, and faith. I spend a lot of time reflecting and finding treasures wherever I can. The two values I live by are beauty and celebration. I hope my blog communicates those two things, seeing beauty where beauty is not often seen and celebrating every aspect of life, the hard and the easy.
