Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Deconstruction Reconstruction

I am just a sinner

dirty and bad

undeserving of love

no worth apart from God

depraved and selfish

in need of saving

and constantly failing

I do my very best

which is enough

I am safe as I am

safely loved

I am wonderfully made

and I love myself and others

My worth is innate and precious

Love is an absolute

Love is all I deserve

and all I give

Human and good

I am the beloved

About Me

An obsessive journaler who loves meeting others along their journey and giving them a hand to hold through pieces of writing. I write about the heartbreaks of life and the joys, the ups and downs, and I often learn my greatest lessons and miracles from nature.
