A Girl and Her Dream

Hi everyone, I'm Madeline Joy. Welcome to my blog, Tower of Joy.

This blog is a new beginning, a first step into the unknown. It's a journey that I've wanted to embark on for a long time. It's a dream finally awoken into reality.

Since this is my first post, I thought I'd share a little about myself and my dream.

I was the girl who spent recess wandering through my imagination.
The girl whose favorite part of the week was library time.
The girl who searched for a magical, hidden world.
The girl who lived more in books than reality.
The girl who began to feel like a stranger on her own planet.

I spent more time alone with my thoughts than I ever did with people. I still do.

But reading and writing has shown me that I'm not alone.

I'm not the only one who dreams.
I'm not the only one who watches the stars.
I'm not the only one who longs for a place I've never known.
I'm not the only one who weeps for the brokenness of this world.

Writing is a way to express my thoughts and feelings, my hopes and fears, my anger and anguish and joy.

I realize that my writing might never change the world. But it could change one person's world.

One person. That's all that matters, really.

One moment of peace.

One heartbeat of hope.

One smile of joy.

I want to remind the individuals of this world that they are not alone. They are loved by a God who has never once forgotten them.

That is my dream.

To write stories that will change people's hearts and open their eyes. Even if it's just for a moment.

Thanks for reading my first post! I'd love to meet you and hear your thoughts in the comment section below - just please keep it clean :)

Blessings!
