Finding Joy During Storms
J O Y
Do you struggle with Life?
Does it feel like you're stuck? You're not alone.
This page isn't for those who have it all together, who can approach life with a smile on their face and a bounce in their step. It's for the rest of us, those that are lonely and in pain.
I don't have a magic wand to fix everything. I wish I did. However, if you can identify with my world, know you aren't alone. Know the storms don't last forever; they just feel like it sometimes.
In the midst of the storm there is hope, there is love, and there is joy. Believe in yourself. Believe in hope.

"I just want to say that I have taken around 50 classes over the past 5 years, and I have never felt the opportunity to be as open about my own problems as much as I have in this class thus far. This reminds me that so many with mental illness are not comfortable discussing it, unless they feel they are in a safe environment. Thank you for creating that." ~ Student "Mental Illness and the Church"

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass . . . It's about learning to dance in the rain
