Through pen and paper…
A journal is a re
flection on life’s daily happenings.
Add insight and discernment and you might find revelation, enlightenment, inspiration, education.
A journal will at least keep you from forgetting the moments and minutes that matter because you made them matter.
On those days when you are not sure you are making the difference you hoped you would make the journal will lead you back to those days when you wrote, “I noticed, I loved, I served, I overcame, I helped.” You know that you will again.
For me, allowing words to flow through pen to paper creates a mirror for my soul to see how it is shaped, where it is moving and to prayerfully consider, who is on this journey with me.
My calendar is not my journal. There is listed who, what, when and where. The journal asks how and why.
This column is called a journal, partly because of the alliteration, but also to encourage you to mark your life with the written word.
Allow your rich collection of ideas, prayer concerns, wisdom and observation, to adorn your life with beauty and hope.
From your written word, contemplate the life you have chosen to live. Remember, rejoice, reflect and reconnect.
Moving to the deeper place,
Jeff
