I have been writing this blog for over ten years.
I had published Ears to Hear in 2007 and A heart for Truth in 2014. Marketing promoters were touting that writing a blog would create an interest among readers. Thus began the process of building a website which included a blog, way above of my paygrade I might add! But I found good helpers to get me setup, begin the blog, and stick with it week by week—every Thursday. Even from the hospital one week!
I don’t know if it helped sell many books, but I found that I enjoyed writing it. I wrote devotional-type blogs, continuing biblical stories, fictional stories, a poem now and then, or life happenings.
At some point, the task of writing the blog was no longer about promoting books, it was simply a joy to write. I was amazed that the Lord would continue to give me thoughts and ideas.
In 2021, Eyes to See was published. (It seems that every seven years, it began to be my thing.) The last few years, the blog was sent every other week. Guess I was getting old, you think?
I’ve come to a point where I sense the Lord is moving me away from blog writing and perhaps in a new direction. So, it is with relief, but sadness when I tell you that this is the last blog. Thank you for your readership and your comments along the way as we have been Searching His Word and Seeking His Heart.

You will be missed, Joyce. Blessings in your new endeavors.
Thank you, Doris. I appreciate you being a part of my blog family.
Thank you for all the good insight you have given us. May God bless you with new adventures!
Thank you, Linda, for being a part of my blog family. I remember when you said that when you saw my blog, you knew it was Thursday.

Thank you, Lana. I appreciate you being a part of my blog family. I hope you’re still writing.
I will miss your thoughtful insights into Scripture and into relationship building. Thanks for all you have written.
Thank you, Brenda. We are so glad to see you all when you come to Louisville and participate in our class.
Joyce,
Whatever the Lord has for you to write next, it will be spectacular! Thanks for all your great blog posts over the years. You’ve been a tremendous inspiration to me. I haven’t blogged in quite some time, and have wondered if I should try it again. Maybe I will one day.
Thank you, Tammy. I appreciate your kind comments. Hope you keep writing in some format, even if it isn’t a blog!
So glad that I saw this. God always has something wonderful in store for His children. 😍
You’re right, Gale. I hope you’re finding your “something wonderful.” Sometimes we have to do the patient work of waiting and praying.
Hi Joyce! I will miss your inspiring writings but wish you blessings as you move forward. Fondly, Jan ♥️
Thank you, Janet. I think about you and your beautiful redbud tree every Spring. One of these springs, I may drive over to see it and have a little visit with you.
I have certainly enjoyed your writing for quite some time. Blessings to you as you delve into the next chapter of life. Hello to Jim. Rick and I just celebrated our 80th birthdays and 59 th wedding anniversary this Wednesday. We are blessed with a wonderful family.🥰
Thank you, Ann. It’s so good to hear from you. It’s so hard to think about our life as college students in our 20’s and now here we are in our 80’s! So much life in between.
I gladly see you on facebook from time to time. You’re aging well. You look 50! Hello to Rick.
Thank you, Joyce, for your faithful, inspiring blogs. They will be missed!
Thank you,Rhonda. I so appreciate all you did in transforming my website and spending hours dealing with website challenges.
Blessings on your future projects.
I cannot tell you how much I’ll miss getting your writing. It has been a help to me at times, an inspiration to me at times, and a joy to read all the time. Blessings to you as start this next journey.

Oh my goodness, Sandy, I didn’t realize you were a subscriber to my blog. Thank you for those lovely comments. I appreciate you being a reader.
Well, all things must come to an end, they say. I hope you keep writing, though. I’m going to have to find “Eyes to See”. Do you have any thoughts of doing another book?
Good to hear from you, Mary. No, no more books. Perhaps writing my life story for my family. I have some “Eyes to See” books I’m giving away. Let me know the next time you go to LCW and I’ll send one by Mary. Thanks for your part in publishing “A Heart for Truth.” It’s still my favorite.
