Death is Overthrown

On November 10, 2019 By SusanIn Uncategorized2 Comments

The joyous message of the Resurrection is ours to hear, "Death is overthrown! Christ God is risen, granting the world great mercy!" It makes me happy to sing this. This sentence is so powerful! It peels away the heaviness that has been weighing me down. I feel as if I have been overcome by heavy …

Journey to Joy!

Hello, my Joys! I am thrilled you have made your way to my website. I created this site to encourage myself on this Journey to Joy, to help myself focus on Christ and His glorious Resurrection and His beauty all around. I, personally, need the constant reminder and by writing and sharing with you it gives me a purpose and focus.

My friends over @orthodoxwomenssnailmailsociety were asking about 2020 letterwriting goals yesterday! I am so grateful they did because it lit a fire under me. 🔥 I love letterwriting! And am usually really good at keeping up. I especially love sending birthday and anniversary cards.But I have been terrible and ha e not sent one in over a month! On my tracker (seen above) I found I missed 18 birthdays/anniversaries! 💌 My goal for this year is write more! And to be more consistent. My perpetual special date calendar really helps. You can use it too! It is a free download on my blog! A plain sheet or a happy, colorful one. Each month has a fun letterwriting quote on it! Enjoy! ❤ #letterwritingwednesday #snailmail #kindlerofjoy #joy #sendasmiletoday #sendjoy #sendacarddeliverasmile #astillsmallpoint #orthodoxwomen #orthodoxwomenssnailmailsociety #followerofchrist

"We live in a noisy, hurried world. Many find themselves entangled in the World Wide Web, with the deadly sting of non-attentiveness wrapping them in the cocoon of ignorance. Others are in the suffocating squeeze of cell phone signals, sinking in a tide of texts, thinking relationship abides in a din of distracted tedium rather than in the silence of presence." From the same newsletter article by Abbot Silhoun, as my last post. This quote grabs me even more than the last. And there is even more! I've decided the whole article, Medicine for Mortals, needs to be shared and can be found on my blog. Link in bio. 🌞 #kindlerofjoy #journeytojoy #bloginstead #astillsmallpoint #orthodoxwomen #filledwithless #silence #orthodoxchristian #followerofchrist #thismoment #presentmoment

Taken from a short little article titled "Medicine for Mortals" in the newsletter, Doxa, from the Monastery of the Holy Archangel Michael in Canones, NM. Written by hieromonk Silhoun. 🌞 I've decided to revisit a stack of old newsletters from this monastery. All of their writings come the old fashioned way...printed on paper and in my mailbox. You can't even sign up for the newsletter online but rather "If you would like to be put on our mailing list, please send a postcard or letter to: ..." 🌻 My heart is yearning for silence. Reconnection to some old ways. Intentionality. Less. Peace. And silence. @filledwithless said something recently that has been mulling in my mind ever since. "Less stuff means less to clean, less to manage, and more time for living out my eternal priorities--connection, hospitality, fruitfulness, pursuing peace." Yes, I need less stuff to clean and manage but I also need less noise and less distraction in my life to carry out those things. To have "more time for living out my eternal priorities." Those words just really struck deep to my core! 🐝 I'm not quite sure what this will look like in my life yet but I do know it is time to figure it out and pursue it. 🌲 #filledwithless #silence #kindlerofjoy #journeytojoy #followerofchrist #astillsmallpoint #orthodoxchristian #prayer

This is why we relish every minute of the beautiful white! Literally less than 12 hours and the trees are beautiful green again. 🌲 #ferrenbergjoydare2020 #weliveinanaltar #joydare #allgone #grateful #kindlerofjoy #journeytojoy

Our snowman. Yes, that is my youngest son who is a head taller than me. We had fun. I felt like a kid again. And I can't believe how hard it is snowing right now! #ferrenbergjoydare2020 #thismoment #weliveinanaltar #letitsnow #ifeltlikeakidagain #snowday #joyday #joy

Having fun in the snow with Joe! That's me playing in the snow with Joe! We tried to get Kelsey to help by serenading her at her door..."do you want to build a snowman?" But she declined. But she couldn't resist after a bit. ☃️ #letitsnow #ferrenbergjoydare2020 #snowday #joyday #snowpacolypse #ferrenbergboys
