Podcast 2025 and Revisiting Old Posts Along the Way

Adoption, Faith, Family, Friends, Grandkids, Life, My kids, Ron, Ryan, School, Sermon, Trips, Young Life are the labels of my blogposts. It is my first step in getting prepared to launch my podcast. I as of this month have fifteen years of writing my heart onto this site. Now is the time to search through my journey and share what I can on a new format.  My hope is to continue to write here as life unfolds but to share the lessons learned through my voice to a new audience. God has prompted me to take this step and even given me a name for my platform…….Stepping Out With Jesus. My hope was to launch this two years ago but life and long Covid changed the plan. Really, I believe God has His hand on the timing and my preparedness to boldly go into this new phase of sharing my heart, my life, and my faith with others. 

So step one is to revisit old thoughts and experiences and conclude which need to be uploaded. Then with the help of tech savvy friends I will begin a new journey as my sixties are coming to a close. If you must know I am not at all confident of my ability to do this. However, I am not the one who has to have all the abilities or answers. My role is to be willing and rely on God to lead me as I stay close to Him. 

In that regard, I am sharing again the water heart that has been like a life statement to me. This water heart represents God’s love in my opinion. He pours His love into us and it is our task to pour it onto others. That is my motivation to blog and soon podcast my journey. There is a saying that earth is not my home but I am here recruiting. That is my life goal. To know Him and make Him known is how I assure that everyone who I encounter at least sees the impact of my faith on my life as well as my forever. My book has been a beautiful tool to share my testimony with strangers I encounter. It has also emboldened be to share my faith in ways I never believed I could or would. But I don’t want to regret one person who might embrace Christ and step out with Him not experiencing that bond. My story could be a pebble on their path to salvation so it is my duty to share even if only one of a thousand books draws someone to Him. Perhaps I will meet someone in heaven who was touched by my words and opened their heart to Christ. Wouldn’t that be heavenly?!?

In Him,

Joyful
