Journaling it All

It's been a while since I've written.  I have had a favorite thing I have been doing lately that I wanted to write about a little.  I have been in a busy season of life with children getting older and work and family life and it seems I have been looking for ways to connect with God and refresh and renew my mind.  I love journaling and have a journal I used to write in daily but now it's more like a few times a week or every other week.

So what I started lately is grabbing my laptop when I get in bed each evening, opening Google Drive and I created a journal that I use when I don't have my paper journal.  Writing down thoughts and prayers and emotions and Scripture is so a thing for me.

I write out all that's on my mind, I call it my brain dump.  I type it all out and pray and share all I am thinking, all I've learned that day, things bothering me, etc.  Then I pray and ask God to show me any Truths that I need to hear from what I've written.  This has been a little treat I have done lately that is really helping me have more peace and clarity and I would just say journaling is something that everyone should try if they haven't.

Sit Still Long Enough

Sit still long enough for it to penetrate.  What is IT?  It is whatever God is doing in me at any given moment, God's Word.  It needs to penetrate deep in me so that His work can be accomplished in me and He can change me from the inside out.  If I don't sit still long enough and keep moving before I have grasped something He is teaching me, then I am setting myself up once again to miss what He has.  No more!

It's time once again to remember, complete dependence on Jesus and to be still.  Bloom where I am planted.  It really is the best thing in the world, for me, and for each person God is working in.  To be still and let Him work.

Take some time today to be still and listen to His still small voice.......

More later...Love to you!

Bible in 90 Days-Day 15

This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.  I will never give up reading through the Bible in 90 days, the Lord will guide me and help me do this.  Things seem to come up and circumstances are happening that are temptations to be discouraged, but the Lord will win, He gets the victory, thank you Lord!!  So thankful that You are all I need, my perfect provision.

I have a lot of notes to write down on here from the last few busy days that I have not gotten to post.  I think tonight or soon I am going to have a post of the scriptures that have just spoke to my heart so much while reading.  I am growing closer to the Lord through this and I have read a LOT of the Bible, but reading it through in 90 days is like combing through it and making everything fall into place, giving me clearer understanding as the Holy Spirit leads me and teaches me.  I also thought about the scripture this morning about I hide Your Word in my heart so I might not sin against you.  

Psalm 119: 11 I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

That is what I am doing.  I am hiding, as I read through this, His entire Word in my heart so I might not sin against Him.  I can't do it myself, He has to do it and I am resting in Him.

Praying everyone has a fabulous day in the Lord and just relying on Him all day long, allowing Him to fill them up and guide them.  He is amazing.  More later...Love to you!
