About Me

Joy Lenton
Hi, welcome to my blog. It's good to share this space with you. I'm a wife, mother, M.E and chronic illness sufferer, poet and blogger who writes about issues of life and faith from a Christian perspective. I'm also a grace dweller and storyteller who weaves words out of the fabric of her days, relating how God is writing His greater narrative in the margins of her life. As a recovering perfectionist, I seek to sit on my nervous editing hands, write bold and brave about my past and how God is making beauty out of ashes.
