    Refill Your Joy Collection - Guided Journals to fit your needs

    The Refill Your Joy Collection is a variety of guided journals available on Amazon. Patterned after The Joy Challenge Journal, these journals can be used as a natural next step in the journey—or completely on their own. In this episode, Joy walks through the features of each journal to help listeners decide which option best fits their needs and season of life. At the heart of the collection is a simple reminder: reflection is a powerful part of living a life of joy. That may look different for each person—whether through journaling or another form of intentional reflection. These tools were created to help people deepen their reflection habits, notice more of what God is doing in their lives, and hopefully be a blessing to whoever needs them. check out this link to Amazon resources: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/nms/redirect/12e0e3c3-67c0-3b07-9d27-21ac395600ab?nt=AUTHOR_CENTRAL_VANITY_URL_LIVE&sk=CMlaJN9Ob6OGY302TSAt_4ufFjOESoWi2MJSHkxkuM71zFKCIQjpT0wvmDpIqcKFSb4KyO5HPv_P2NXBQ5ifSQ&n=1&u=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9hdXRob3Ivam95c3BlY2h0 Questions: joyspecht@gmail.com

    Exciting things are happening with the broader Joy Challenge. I'm now taking a pause on releasing new episodes so that we can focus on some important milestones. I invite you to pray for the Russian translation (and the 2 more in process behind that). I invite you to pray for the teams traveling this summer to spread joy in other parts of the world. I invite you to practice your joy tools and catch up on past episodes and share with whoever comes to mind. Thank you for being part of this Joy Challenge calling. I am praying for you.
