I miss writing in a journal regularly. I kept a prayer journal faithfully for years. I prayed, ranted and just wrote from the heart pouring out my gratitude, personal requests, frustrations, desires, etc on numerous pages in numerous journals. My journal was a sanctuary, a place to commune with my thoughts and God, and ultimately reflect. It’s pretty powerful to document the days as your going through and to go back months, sometimes years later, to reflect on what’s been written and how far God has carried you, protected you and most definitely blessed you.
I hope I return to regularly writing in a journal. The most consistent things I’m doing nowadays are creating collages and abstract paintings. They are journals in their own way. Maybe I don’t have the words, but my creations revolve around my thoughts, curiosities, and experiences. Journal the journey - write or create - document and express what’s in you, what comes to you and most importantly what you dream about and desire.
Cheers to blessings, protection, guidance and favor. 🙏🏽
