Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places

You Turn my Day Upside Down

How do you do that?

Flip my soul around

One moment I’m

drowning in troubles

the next

I’m swimming

in Your love

The power and peace

It’s always there

Your hand is always reaching out

But it is when

I slow down

Trust

Believe

Immerse

Focus on Your face

Your eyes

that everything else fades

Suddenly I’m singing

smiling

jumping

dancing

You’ve turned my day

upside down

It’s unreal

yet the only way

I want to live

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.
