The Heart Behind Choose Joy Project
Hey friend,
My name is Angie, and I'd love to share the story of where
Choose Joy Project began.
In August of 2014, my life changed forever with the loss of my daughter.
In the months and years that followed, I found myself walking through a
season of grief so deep that, at times, I barely recognized the person I had
become. I struggled with loneliness, anxiety, depression, and questions I
never imagined I'd have to ask. There were times when simply getting
through the day felt like more than I could manage.
Somewhere in the middle of all that brokenness, God began planting a
seed in my heart. Not because I had everything figured out, and certainly
not because the pain had disappeared, but because He gently reminded
me that even in our darkest seasons, He is still present. He is still faithful.
And He is still in the business of bringing hope to hurting hearts.
Choose Joy Project grew from that seed.
It wasn't created because I wanted to have all the answers.
It was created because I know what it feels like to search for hope when
life doesn't make sense.
My prayer is that this ministry becomes a place where faith meets real life, a
place where you can find biblical encouragement, honest conversations, and
gentle reminders that you never have to walk through life's hardest seasons alone.
But more than anything, I want this to be a place where you can simply be real.
If you need to sit quietly, you can.
If you need to be angry, you're safe here.
If you need to question God, I understand, because I've questioned Him too.
I don't claim to have all the answers, but I know the One who does. My hope is that through our prayers, devotionals, books, journals, and every post we share, you'll be gently reminded that God still cares, He's still listening, He's still moving, and He still loves you.
Thank you for taking the time to be here. It is truly an honor to walk this journey with you.
Angie
Founder, Choose Joy Project
Our Mission
At Choose Joy Project, our mission is to encourage hearts through the truth of God's Word, offering hope, healing, and biblical encouragement to people walking through every season of life. Through our devotionals, journals, books, prayer, and Christ-centered resources, we seek to point people toward the lasting peace and hope that can only be found in Jesus Christ.
We believe faith isn't reserved for life's easy moments. It is often in our deepest valleys that God draws us closest to Himself. Our prayer is that every resource we create reminds someone they are loved, they are never alone, and there is always hope in Christ.
We Belive
Biblical Truth:
Everything we create is rooted in Scripture. God's Word is our foundation, our authority, and the source of every message we share.
Compassion:
Every person has a story. We strive to meet people with grace, kindness, and understanding, recognizing that only God knows the burdens someone may be carrying.
Authentic Faith:
We believe faith isn't about pretending life is easy. It's about trusting God through every season and finding His presence in both the celebrations and the struggles.
Hope:
No matter how dark the circumstances may seem, we believe hope is never out of reach. Our desire is that every page, prayer, and resource points hearts toward the unchanging hope found in Christ.
Encouragement:
Sometimes a few words of truth can change the course of a day. We are committed to creating resources that uplift, strengthen, and gently remind people that God is still faithful.
Integrity:
We are committed to honoring God in everything we create, remaining faithful to Scripture, and serving others with excellence, humility, and love.
