Dining with Joy

RH: Me too! God is always working for us. So tell me what’s your favorite thing about being an author?
JBJ: Wow, lots to love. I love getting feedback from readers, hearing that I’ve touched a heart with the story God led me to share. I think most importantly, I love to make people laugh and the ministry of joy and laughter. I just want people to read the books and be uplifted. We need reasons to smile, to escape, and to giggle.
RH: I know you’re a lover of Jesus. How did you come to know Him?
JBJ: This is a mystery, but we’re pretty sure I was one of those obnoxious kids who answered the altar call every single week in Sunday school. I guess I wanted to make sure it really took. And apparently one of those few hundred times of stepping forward did the trick because I’ve been saved since childhood. It’s a process though, isn’t it? Some days I feel like I’m just now really getting it . . . and yet I still have so far to go.
RH: If you had one minute to speak to women around the world, what would you say?
JBJ: That God has come so that we may have life and have it in abundance. To enjoy it. It’s the enemy who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. When I got that, I realized how we do this life is a choice. I have to put on joy, kindness, and peace every day. We don’t have to live unhappy or miserable. That’s not God’s plan for us and opens way too many doors for Satan to step in and get a foothold. What about you? What would you say?
RH: Amen to what you said. I’d probably add not to spend so much time worrying but surrendering the journey to God. He is more than able. And He’s more than willing.
