Hello, I'm Jodee
Are you aware God thinks you are delightful?
God not only loves you, but He likes you and takes great pleasure in being with you. His greatest desire is that you would fellowship with Him and live a delightful, abundant life.
Living a delightful life is what we all want.
And we have days, hours, and minutes that are just that - delightful! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and things are going our way. But we also have those days when things aren't so delightful. We may have just an ordinary day. Other times, life takes a wrong turn or we mess up. It can leave us questioning if God is still by our side and how He can delight in us.
Embracing a delightful life is an exciting journey of learning, practicing, and sharing! With all its ups and downs, every twist and turn is part of this incredible adventure. At jodelights!, we’re here to uplift and share in this journey with you!
What we do
Our mission is to provide you with valuable resources and insights that spark personal growth and creativity. Join us on this incredible journey and discover the tools you need to live the delightful life that God has designed just for!

A bit about my delightful life:
-
The name jodelights! comes from combining my nickname and delight: Jo delights the Lord and Jo delights in the Lord.
-
My passion is for you to truly understand that God is delighted in you, right here, right now, no matter what circumstances you are in. He loves you, He likes you, and you give Him great pleasure.

Atelier 54 is the name of my sewing studio. Atelier is a word for artistic workshop; 5 is the number of grace, 4 is the number for creation. 5 + 4 = 9, the number for completion. So Atelier 54 is "My artistic workspace where there is grace for creative works, completed for God's purpose".

Favorite Scripture: Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4
My Prayer for you: I thank God for you—every time I pray, I think of you and give thanks. But I do more than thank. I ask—ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory—to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is he is calling you to do, grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for his followers, oh, the utter extravagance of his work in us who trust him—endless energy, boundless strength! Ephesians 1:16-19 MSG
