One of my favorite blogs that I've been following for a year or two now is that of my friend, Heidi. Her Bartle Bulletin is such a fantastic snapshot of family life--the ups, the downs, the in-betweens. I find strength and encouragement every time I read her blog. So, I was not surprised when I read this morning that she has decided to join her friend, Jill, to seek Joy in the Journey for the month of October. And, having felt the need to seek joy in my own life recently, I have decided to join them. I am so excited! Although, I must admit, I am slightly wary of my ability to post EVERY DAY. Some days, I'm sure it will only be a sentence or two. But I am determined to seek joy for the next 31 days.
Today, I'm going to post two...one now (for yesterday) and one later. Probably as I'm waiting for my Unisom to kick in tonight.
My joy for yesterday is the knowledge that we have a living prophet on the earth and twelve apostles just like in the time of Jesus Christ. My soul was filled as they spoke to me yesterday and I enjoyed the spirit that their words brought to my heart and my home.
What are your joys? Will you join me (us) in the journey? (I've added Jill's button to my blog--it's under my list of books. Check it out!)

Hooray! Another friend to seek joy with. I'll look forward to following along and getting to know you a little. :)
I'm not going to lie, posting for 31 days has had me a little scared too, but I feel like it's something that could really bless my life (and I'm really hoping it will be a blessing to others as well) so I'm going to give it my all.
My good friend has a blog called Abiding Joy you would probably really like.
Thanks for joining -- and for the kind words! This will be great...even if a daily JOY post will be a challenge for us both. :)
