Journaling

Journaling is the Christian Discipline that God uses in my life to help me see myself more clearly. The benefits outweigh the time spent doing it. I try to journal anything that impacts my day. That can mean: my thoughts, dreams, emotional reactions, prayers and memories of events that still impacted my day. I begin to benefit exponentially when I feel Jesus is leading me to read back through the journal periodically. I put header categories in my journal so I can quickly find a subject God brings to my mind. By doing this, I can see prayers being answered or sometimes I see a pattern that helps me better understand how God is moving in my life.
