There’s a whole lot of heaviness in this world- both online and off. And I’m tired of it. Aren’t you?
Friends, I think it’s time to make an intentional shift. And I want to be a part of it.
Yes this world is heavy.
Yes 2020 seems to hold a lot of pain.
BUT there is a whole lot of joy to be had right in the midst of it.
Which is why I created a 7-day JOY AMIDST ANXIETY Instagram challenge; a super simple, fun way to be intentional about highlighting joy.
My hope for the JOY AMIDST ANXIETY challenge is that by fixing our eyes on the joy the Lord has for us in this season, we might experience more peace (& as a sweet result, brighten up the world of social media in the process).
What’s an Instagram challenge?
It is a fun, writing prompt challenge that I am hosting over on Instagram. For 7-days I am offering a daily prompt to help you focus on joy right in front of you. You can share a picture, write a caption, or if you’re not on social media you could even do it right in your journal. There are no hard and fast rules for this - it’s basically just a fun way to get us focusing on JOY amidst the craziness that is this world.
As many of you know, I am a huge advocate for finding peace amidst anxiety and finding joy in the midst is a great extension of that. The heart of the challenge is this— we do not have to wait until anxiety is gone; we get to experience peace and joy right in the midst of it.
I created the challenge because I personally have been feeling a necessary shift for focusing on joy versus the heaviness around us, and I also need a jumpstart to get back into the practice of writing regularly - thus the JOY AMIDST ANXIETY challenge was born.
