Hello!!!
I know you are busy with a million amazing things in your life and I am elated that you choose to stop by and pay me a visit.
One of the first things I want you to know before you go on is, that you are in the right place. Jewels of Inspiration (JOI) is for every person that needs to be reminded of God’s unfailing love.
In these post you will find love, acceptance, encouragement, and an open ear when you need it. I want you to know that no matter what you are going through you will make it. That He has a perfect plan for your life, even if it doesn’t look like it right now. I know this may sound unrealistic in the middle of your storm, but the thing about storms is that they always pass.
I will not cause pain without allowing something new to be born,” says the Lord.
– Isaiah 66:9 New Century Version (NCV)

God has done miraculous things with my years on this earth, even when I didn’t understand. These lessons have taught me how to live and give the true authentic me, minus the mask I use to hide behind. This not only helps me, but allows me to connect to you in the deepest way. I strive for you to hear my heart with every word, phrase, and sentence. It is in our connections to others that make us realize why we had to or are still going through what we have been through. I want to use the stories in my life to help you realize you are not alone.
We are all on a journey that will take our entire lifetime to complete and I would like to take you with me while I navigate mine. I want to share with you every tear, smile, joke, hurt, preconceived notion, revelation, triumph, let down, and anything else the Father deems fit to use. I don’t have all the answers, but I do have all of my experiences to share.
The Word says that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of our testimony. I want to use my testimony to inspire, motivate, inform, encourage, and teach you that God can do anything but fail.
I want you to have the life God designed for you to have. One that is unencumbered by the pain of your past, the feeling of lack, the misunderstandings of life, and the chains of fear that have been holding you back.
Every word that I write comes from a place of understanding, some from behind eyes clouded with tears, but always from my heart. You see I am a vessel being transformed daily by the love of God into the person He created me to be.
He wants you to live your best life, right now and so do I.

Just until you find your way around, here are some of my favorite post.
