Hi! Welcome to A Joy-Filled Journey. I’m so glad you’re here.
About Julia
I’m Julia. Mommy to 3 littles, ages 4, 2, and baby. An Early Childhood Education Major and former elementary school teacher, I have a passion for learning that I hope is contagious to my children and those I encounter.
After five years of teaching in public schools in grades 2-4 my husband and I began our family. It was decided that I should stay at home. After a few years at home I realized more and more that home is where I was meant to be. I think I knew this all along. After all, in my kindergarten end-of-year scrapbook I wrote that when I grow up I wanted to be a mommy. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to be home with my kids to watch them learn and grow.
About A Joy-Filled Journey
Read more about why I began A Joy-Filled Journey here.
I chose the name, A Joy-Filled Journey because I felt it was a good metaphor for life. A journey has its roadblocks, its detours, its hills. It also has its smooth patches, straight paths, and downhill sprees. There are ups and downs, trials and triumphs, and JOY. Joy because of the work of the spirit in us.
“But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, JOY, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!” (NLT, Galatians 5:22-23, emphasis mine)
Our lives look different, but we are all on a journey. Some of us are on a journey to health, others a journey through homeschooling, and some of us both! In fact I imagine we all have multiple journeys we’re on that comprise our life’s journey.
Here at A Joy-Filled Journey I welcome you to walk alongside me on my journey. You will find topics on health, parenting, homeschooling, faith, and more. And hopefully the content you find here will be filled with joy and encourage you on your journey- whatever it may be.
