Still Falling North

Joyelle Lee

Since I worked the 3 p.m. to midnight shift at the orphanage, I had the opportunity to do life with them in a more intimate, personal, and nurturing environment. Homework, dinner, psychological processing, and bedtime tuck-ins were each part of my everyday routine with the girls. Yet, just about every day I came into work, the day shift would share that one of our girls had run away again that morning. By God's grace, the girls would usually be located within hours. I'd tuck this sweet one into bed the following evening after she had been safely returned, and look far into her lost and deeply saddened eyes, saying, "Where were you running to? What were you running towards?" And without the slightest of hesitation or differentiation of reasons, she'd look up at me and share, "Nowhere. I was just running away from here." Years later, I realized God had been having the same tender conversation with me; asking over and over again, why I was running away from Him. And even as I continued to wander and insist on my own path, He kept a careful, undeniable watch. It wasn't until one day that I stopped running, and started falling, that I realized just how good, safe, and fulfilling it was to be home, with Him. The running would be over, and my falling north had just begun.

Praise for Falling North...

Have you ever met someone and after spending time with them you know they've been with Jesus? That is how it is when you meet Joyelle Lee. In her book, Falling North, and in the entirety of her ministry, Joy takes you by the hand and leads you to the Father's love and gracefully introduces you to a way of living that brings healing, strength, and joy to your heart and mind. Joy is uniquely vulnerable and courageous as she shares her life with others. I highly recommend Falling North to anyone who is tired of trying to do better or be better and is looking to experience a transformed life. Teri Miller, author, Death of a Church Lady

In Falling North, Joyelle Lee takes you on a journey of how she went from falling apart, to falling North! The North Star is the only dependable star to find the north direction. It is said that "True North" is the cross. The North Star led to where our Savior was born. Falling North is a like a compass, a blueprint of sorts; a place to go for absolute truth, guidance, comfort, and love. A place where we find our Savior in our deepest struggles of life, as we surrender our inner most secrets, pains, and wounds over to Him. Denelle Peck, Pastoral Counselor

In Joy's presence, and in her writing, you experience the sincere manifestation of a heart that has truly fallen into a posture of the highest reverence and the most beautiful humility. The book is a glimpse into the process of giving one layer at a time of our hearts and finding the breathtaking goodness of His presence in once barren land. Joanna Sanders, editor, author of Fire Women

This book has the ability to excavate the most damaged belief roots, heal them with life giving transformation and offer a new firm foundation that is Jesus. If you trust and fully digest the nourishment within the pages of Falling North, it can lead to the spiritual conversion story you may have been craving until now. Marlo Rutz, empowerment coach, author of God Sprinkles

From the title, Falling North, to the personal journey through her own pain and suffering, I found myself asking, "How is this possible?" Joy takes you by the hand and leads you through the "impossible" to the God who says "I Am Possible" in all things! And you "fall north" in love with Jesus!
