Once in a while, it is nice to change things up a bit. I am thankful for gals who can design blogs so nicely! What a gift they have! My new friend, Carol — “The Design Diva” — designed this new look for Joy In The Truth. I do hope you like it!
To celebrate the fresh, new look, I’d like to give a gift to one of you — the daily devotional I am currently reading. It is awesome! Founded in God’s Word, it gives daily encouragement and challenges to grow in the Lord. Already in January 2010, God has used the scriptures and writing in this devotional by the Blackaby Brothers to minister to my heart and to confirm ways He is instructing me to walk in obedience. This devotional is one of my new favorite gifts to give!
My daily quiet time with the Lord and in The Word is sacred to me. I protect that time. I need that time. I love that time. He gives me water to drink, and I desire to honor Him and proclaim His praise. Only by His grace.
Just leave a little comment. In a few days, I will let you know who is receiving the gift of “Experiencing God Day by Day Devotional” by Richard & Henry Blackaby. Thank you for visiting!
Ahhhhhhhh – very you and so pretty!
Beautiful that you can share her with others – love that God leads her every design!
I would love a copy of this book 🙂 Sounds like a good one!
Love you Sharon!

Please keep Austin in your prayers–his upper respiratory infection has flared up and coupled with the wisom teeth "fun", he's not too perky! Running a fever and such. Bless his heart. Getting meds this afternoon.
Still working on the website…thanks for your encouragement. I talked to another photographer,and she said it took weeks for her to complete! At least I'm on the right track!
Have a beautiful day, sweet friend! The devotional looks awesome!!
Hugs,
Susan

Your new look is beautiful Sharon. I love the soothing feel of it.

Sharon – I love your new look! Great! How fun to "spruce" up our blogs once in a while.
I do not want to be entered in your drawing, as I am already enjoying the lovely devotional you gave me in August. Thanks!
Gorgeous – you and the blog;) It is so peaceful, such a stream of refreshment, coming here!
And as always, your writing and heart inspire me. Thank you for sharing your gifts and serving the Lord in such a meaningful way…one that touches so many!
Enjoy your bloggy makeover! 🙂

You have such a peaceful blog Sharon. I love stopping by here. I am always refreshed and blessed when reading your words. Your new blog look is beautiful too.
The devotional sounds wonderful.

oh but I mean't to add not to put me in your drawing, since I've won Wendy Blight's wonderful book from you already.
I love the purple!
I'm not a morning person, but in the new year, I've committed to reading the Word first thing in the morning. I got my two boys (ages 8 and 10) in on it too-they're using the devotional books they got for Christmas.
I like it a lot!!
And what a lovely pic of your family.
You have such a sweet, giving heart, Sharon. Makes me smile, and I'm certain it makes God smile.
I love the Blackaby's! Thank you for your sharing! It is such an encouragement to hear about how children can be raised up to be selfless in this world where materialism and selfishness reign! Your family is truly an encouragment and inspiration to mine!
Blessings,
Nikki

Royal…your family, your blog…
