About Me

The name is Mandie Joy.
I love any and all things beautiful-which includes YoU.
I love reading GOOD literature that makes me fall in love with each and every character, word, and page.
I love laughing so much that I cry and sound becomes irrelevant.
I love photography because it preserves memories and tells stories.
I love honesty, loyalty, and anything that doesn't need to be packaged-it just IS.
I love creation because of the story that affirms the very essence of what I KNOW to be true- creation dictates a need for a Creator.
I love inadequecy because it is real and truthful and is alot less painful to obtain.
I love the g o d shaped holes*c.s. lewis
I love GRACE because I am horridly imperfect.
I love pain because it teaches one how to survive.
I love JOY because it is permanant, never-ending, and contagious (and it helps that it's my middle name).
I love LOVE because one time I heard about the One who IS LOVE, and I pretty much fell in love with Him.

My Interests

But as for me, I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me...
Rejoice not over me, O my enemy;
when I fall, I shall rise;
when I sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me.
