This is a new day and is my second journal entry on this blog. (The first was a welcome journal entry.)
If you are reading this, I am sure you wonder the intent of this blog journal and why I am sharing a personal journal in such a public way. There are many reasons actually, which I am sure you will be able to ascertain as you read this journal.
Also, the truth of the matter is I have tried to keep several blog journals and have not stuck with them, as life changes and gets in the way. I hope that this one is different because of where I am in life at this time, along with the main reason why I am keeping this journal this time.
I have been a journal keeper for well over 43 years, and for well over 31 of those years, I have journaled most days. Needless to say, I have some insights to share as to how to get the most out of your journaling, whether you are a writer, a person of faith, want to live the best life possible, are hurting and need healing, are burdened and need to let things go. Journaling can help us make things whole, plan, schedule, dream, remember, fully live, and be creative, let things go, gain new perspective, and so forth.
I am keeping this journal because I am someone who trusts in the Lord, who believes in Jesus Christ (Yeshua Messiah), and I know how my life would not be the same if not for Him. After all, if left on my own, I make a great big mess of everything. With Him, though, He guides me and helps me to live the best life possible. I am also thoroughly blessed because of Him.
I am journaling to give him the praise, honor, and glory, of all the things He has done, is doing, and will be doing in my life.
I also know how hard (difficult; challenging) life can be. Nonetheless, it is because of my faith, I am able to see the blessings and sunshine even during the times of the worst storms and darkness.
I also journal, as I am trying to life the bet life of faith and trusting in Jesus that I can, through prayer, reading the Bible, and counting my blessings (thanking Him for everything).
My journey as a follower of Jesus (Yeshua) has been a very unique one, as all of ours have been if we believe in Him.
Every journal entry will be a sharing of whatever is on my heart in that moment.
