Most people don’t find Guided by Joy because everything is going great. Usually something hurts, you’re tired, grieving, worried, overwhelmed, or your mind just won’t shut up.

I get it. When life gets heavy, I run to Jesus.

I created this channel because sometimes I think God may lead us through the dark so we can finally see the light that was there all along. I needed faith spoken to me in a way that felt real, so that’s what I create here.

I tell Bible stories the way I needed to hear them, from the teller’s perspective, through Gospel Girl Confessions. You’ll also find 100-Word Christian Prayers, Night Prayers for anxiety and sleep, personal testimony, Scripture, Christian worship and soaking music.

I’m not here because I have faith figured out. I’m here because I keep needing Jesus too.

If you’re tired, hurting, searching, healing, or somewhere in between, welcome. Stay awhile. 🕊️

This simple line flipped my whole mindset. Waiting isn’t wasted time 😲🙏🏼it’s a chance to serve right where you are.
If you’re in a waiting season, maybe this is your reminder too.

How do you serve while you wait?
Let me know. 💬

Holiday grief is real. 💔
Years ago a dear friend and I made a promise: if one of us went Home first, we wouldn’t come back to scare the other, we’d send hearts.🌬🤍
Later that year, I lost her. I couldn’t say her name for two years. Then the signs started ♡ hearts in the most ordinary places. One day, a cloud shaped like a J and a heart beside it. I knew she was okay.🌬🤍✨️
If you’re missing someone, drop their name below. I’ll pray with you tonight. 🤍

ISAIAH 41:10
“Do not fear, for I am with you.
Do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”

Your Heart:
“Lord… I’ve been holding so much lately.
Please meet me here today.”

God’s Whisper:
“I’m already here.
You don’t have to be strong alone.
I will steady you, strengthen you,
and hold you in My hands.”

KISS CAM EXPOSED THEM… BUT GOD’S NOT DONE YET 🙏

What started as a funny Coldplay Kiss Cam moment has turned into a full-on scandal—
Andy Byron (the “Golden Boy of Tech”) is on leave, Kristin Cabot (HR Chief) is under investigation, and Megan Byron quietly removed Andy’s name from her socials.

But here’s the thing: Grace and accountability can exist together.
God’s not done with them. And He’s not done with you, either.

Drop a 🙏 in the comments if you’re praying for them instead of gossiping about them.
And tell me: Do you think grace and accountability can exist together?

The chaos can swirl, but my roots are in Him.
🌿 You don’t have to bloom perfectly, just keep reaching.
Say this out loud if you’ve been weary.
