Would you like to encounter Jesus daily?
Reclaiming Christmas Joy Devotional
How will you prepare your heart to celebrate Christmas?
With the hustle and bustle of preparations it is easy to lose sight of Jesus and lose sight of caring for ourselves in His presence.
My desire is to help you enjoy the holidays with a focus on Jesus. As you spend a few minutes a day preparing your heart to receive His love, you will find joy and refreshment this season!
Welcome!
My name is Julie and I would love to help you encounter Jesus daily.
It is challenging in todays world to carve out time to spend with Him. I have battled through upheavals in life where I struggled to find joy and contentment. Frustrated by the interruptions to my daily rhythms, I found it difficult to sense the presence of Jesus. But God used those challenges to help me learn how to experience His presence within the ups and downs of life. Now I look forward to my daily encounters with Him.
Friend, Jesus is with us every day. He is in the trenches with us, even if it doesn’t feel like it or we can’t sense Him. He is with us in the midst of life’s biggest challenges to its smallest of details.
My passion is to help you encounter the presence of Jesus, not just when life is hard, but in the ordinary moments of your day.
