Journaling

Some time ago I started keeping a journal. Not a dear diary, just a few snippets here and there of thoughts and words I get from the Lord.
I am a thinker and sometimes my brain doesn't shut off. Keeping a journal helps me get things out of my head to make room for more things to think about!


Sometimes I will be in bed awake with too many thoughts and I need to get it onto paper before I can sleep. I keep a journal right beside the bed for these occasions.
I also like to read a lot and sometimes a word can be given to me from my current book or even from my bible. I also take my journal to church and write little snippets there too. There is always something to write about! I have even been given a word while I was doing the dishes......


It is so nice to scroll through the pages and see how far I have come over time and see how much God is doing in me.
A journal allows the things of my heart to be expressed in ways that may not be for now. It plays a part in; who I was, who I am now and who I am yet to become.

Expressing things on paper puts it into perspective and also brings the truth to life;
You can let go of frustration and hurt, hopes and dreams can be shared and things you speak over your life or others can be shown.

 Its nice to see when things are fulfilled. So much better when you see the dreams you had turned into something bigger and better than you expected!

I find I get a sentence or just a scripture and then other times I get pages worth of things to write about.

Everyones journey is different and this is just one way that has helped me to grow, and develop the character I need to fulfill my destiny.

Do you journal like me or have you got a different way of releasing things?

Have you seen how much God has changed you and can you see how much He has helped you through?

I pray, however you express yourself you find total peace and know how much God loves you and want's to be involved in everything you do.

Happy journaling...........
