About Joy

Photo taken by my sister Mary from the lookout at
 Verona, Italy during a trip in July, 2019.

a reader of beautiful words,

a spinner of fantastic tales

a dreamer of impossible things!

I'm Joy, I'm a Coptic Christian girl living in a sunny corner of Queensland, Australia, by the coast. I'm an English Literature & Writing graduate, I wrestle with words and paint them with my pen (and naturally my laptop!), scribble stories, play the violin, take lots of photos, and am an avid reader of good books. Travel is one of my favourite things to do, but so is staying at home in my arm-chair with my books and garden. As you can see, I'm a hobbit at heart! 

I love being a scholar and student of literature (it's kind of a passion), classics, theology/philosophy, and history. Imagination is my favourite cup of tea, a world that I traverse daily. I love my family and my friends deeply, and the joy of fellowship and long deep chats over a pot of tea, or a chai latte. 

Most of all, I love Jesus so much, my Saviour and dearest Friend. The greatest goal of my life is to love and glorify God in all I do, as He guides me on the path of life. 

All these things are aspects of my life that I hope to explore and examine on this little ol' blog. If you stay a while, I hope you will be blessed in some small way through my little alcove of the blogsphere.
