The Journey Begins

Thanks for joining me!

Well, for quite some time I have been experiencing the nudge. You may be asking yourself, what nudge? One to write….not books though. That’s my daughter’s gig. Actually and truthfully, to journal right here. I can recall the first time I ever heard about journaling. It sounded like a fantastic idea…and believe me, it was before blogging ever existed. I sat down with a notebook and pen and nothing. Honestly, the idea was fantastic but putting it into action was not. It took awhile for me to acquire the desire and discipline to begin journaling. At first, I struggled to just make it a habit. Today, however, my struggle is more of letting go of the notebook and pen to embrace this concept of blogging. Now, you may be asking yourself, why journal? That is something I asked myself not once, but numerous times. For me, it became part of my dedicated quiet time. A place of reflection. A time of devotion. I have now been journaling for well over a decade and a half, not consistently, but more intentionally as the years have come and gone. One reason that I journal is to leave behind my thoughts, my dreams, my prayers and petitions, and most importantly the works of God that I have witnessed.  It’s like a gift to my children when I am no longer here.  A gift I hope they will glean from and hopefully continue to grow from, as well. Journaling is also my journey with my closest and best friend…my growing relationship with Jesus Christ. I would be honored if you came along on this journey with me.
