The Journal

I have struggled over the years to get a consistent routine down of devotions. I tried to find books to prompt me, intensive studies, reading through the Bible in a year, and they all fizzled out. This January however I knew I wanted to look at it from a whole new perspective. I needed a new outlook on things. 

As I was falling asleep on New Years Eve when I remembered something. I had read books in my teen years about a girl who did her devotions by journaling every night. She journaled half a page about how her day went spiritually, and then the rest of the page was for her to write about her devotions. It allowed her to see how she had implemented what she learned the day before.

I was still sketchy because SO many times I had failed at this, but I needed to try. I decided to dive right in on New Years Day. It was hard to get into the routine of doing it every night, but I finally started doing it daily. Coming up to college I was determined not to let the change get the better of me. I kept it up without missing a beat.

It has now become something I look forward to doing every night, and am growing SO much because of it. I love how much it has infiltrated my life and how much of an impact its making. I can't wait to finish this journal and start the next. :)
