Friend Of The Week – Joan
This week I’m delighted to introduce you to Joan – the California blogger behind
The Beauty In His Grip!
Joan describes herself as an “extroverted introvert” who started her blog to encourage other women to come to a deeper, more meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ.
Joan believes that everything in our lives happens for a reason and that we should share the life-lessons we learn along the way with others in order to build up the body for Christ.
Joan says:
I have learned that we can never fall so far that we are beyond the reach of God. There are no lost causes. He loves us all. It doesn’t matter how rocky our pasts, God will always accept us when we surrender our lives to Him. With Christ we can live a life of abundant joy simply by knowing and experiencing Him through His mercy, grace and unfailing love.
Comments mean the world to bloggers. Won’t you drop by and congratulate Joan for being our Friend of the Week at Create With Joy?
Now It’s Your Turn To Share!
We’d love the opportunity to get to know you better! Please introduce yourself in the comments and tell us a little about yourself, your blog, and the story behind it. Each week, I’ll select a blogger to feature as our Friend Of The Week!
Just For Fun:
You receive $20 to splurge on yourself this weekend!
How would you spend the money?
Please share your thoughts in the comments!
Be sure to link to us and spread the love by sharing our Friendship Friday party with all of your friends!
Remember – building community and developing friendships is what Friendship Friday is all about!
