Someday when I have more time and God ...Thanks Ann,<br />Someday when I have more time and God leads me - I might start special journals. I have attempted a few - a prayer journal - got lost in the shuffle. I even started a blog journal but too hard to find the right book - so now they are all mushed in one journal.<br />I think it is important to write - and that's what you and I do. I have some friends I am encouraging to write as well.<br />Blessings<br />JanJanis Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10863083811890899986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-531909281927126909.post-36027815005275532232012-04-20T17:53:40.246-07:002012-04-20T17:53:40.246-07:00WOW!

Sometimes we narrow journaling to a daily written record, but you've shared some ideas I've never heard of before. I hope lots of people read this great post.

That's what I wrote about (in part) this week, too! I have found writing down the blessings and miracles God has done in my life to be a huge encouragement to me during the rough times. It is a constant reminder of His faithfulness and is a huge faith builder for me. Blessings, Ann!

I started doing this and found it easier to type things rather than write and in a short time, I started blogging. I wondered why God wanted me to record the lessons He had been teaching me but He soon showed me that it is because it helps me to remember or else I may forget. Sure enough, I have returned to many posts at various times and they have been 'spot on' and both reminded and encouraged me again when I needed such. God knows what my memory is like and I'm sure glad I followed His Holy Spirit promptings. <br /><br />I also find that blogging helps me in my Bible Study as I meditate upon the Word of God to gain inspiration for my posts.Wendy @ E-1-Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13898058440919632867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-531909281927126909.post-18823062526603850562012-04-17T08:27:28.922-07:002012-04-17T08:27:28.922-07:00Such beautiful blessings, and pictures.

I did that a few years ago, but I need to update it. It basically is the story of your life, made into a storybook and would include your favorite memories, from your childhood, up to the present time. It takes some time to write, but is worth it. I started out by just making a chronological list of all my memories. It's something your children and grandchildren can read for many years to come. Blogging sure is helpful for keeping memories alive, too!!!

If it gets to be too much, I'll probably back off that one. You should do only what you feel comfortable doing. It's definitely not supposed to be overwhelming to journal. If you want to try something new, start with one new thing at a time. thanks for sharing you wise thoughts, friend!cairncottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10205290020671696920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-531909281927126909.post-54604956503975678822012-04-16T21:17:55.562-07:002012-04-16T21:17:55.562-07:00I still go back every once in a while (when I'...I still go back every once in a while (when I'm feeling especially nostalgic) and read posts from years ago.

The closest thing I have done to journalling is blogging but I only began 1 1/2 years ago.

Blogspot doesn't agree with Wordpress for comments for me so I sign in with Google.<br /><br />I have been writing in a journal/diary for about 12 years now. It started just before I gave my heart to Christ. I haven't stopped and have become a writer as well.<br /><br />I like all your ideas - my problem is too many ideas - not enough focus - so I will take a peak but must be careful not to grab too many colourful balloons at once.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />JanJanis Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10863083811890899986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-531909281927126909.post-73128503473955979882012-04-16T19:29:52.936-07:002012-04-16T19:29:52.936-07:00writing down your thoughts keeps them from being l...writing down your thoughts keeps them from being lost.
