Hello Friends. \u00a0The flu got the best of me for a few weeks and then I couldn’t figure out how I found the time to write a blog. \u00a0So, here I am with a short entry trying to\u00a0restore the habit of writing to my routine.<\/span><\/p>\n

While sick I spent some time reading through an old journal. \u00a0This was quite a rich and encouraging enterprise because in the past decade I have mainly filled my journals with scriptures, quotes, prayers and things I’ve heard from God. \u00a0How good it was to be reminded of ways and times He has spoken to me. \u00a0 I especially loved seeing themes that I am still walking in today and how I heard them years ago. \u00a0It leaves me feeling especially grateful\u00a0that I learned and have been able to practice the early morning habit of time with God in the Word. \u00a0This has been a tone setter for my days for a long time and I can tell when I miss it.<\/span><\/p>\n

On June 18, 2015 I wrote: \u00a0As the rich young ruler (Mark 9:33-10:34) put his hope for life in money, I seem to have fallen back into hoping in people – that their want of me and approval of me will fill up my heart. \u00a0How is it I feel both secure and insecure in my relationships? \u00a0Oh, Jesus, how do I break free?<\/em> \u00a0“Trust me, every day, for thy daily bread.”<\/span> \u00a0I like to write the things I hear from God in colored pen so as to find them more easily. \u00a0This counsel from the Lord years ago echos in a\u00a0phrase from Psalm 16 that I’ve been mulling over the past few months: \u00a0“Lord, you alone are my portion and cup.”<\/span> \u00a0Here I am, thinking about the same thing but through a different phrase and from a different angle. \u00a0I am being taken deeper into Truth, deeper into Himself. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I can think of nothing more profitable to record in your journal then the scriptures that speak to you or the words Jesus utters to your heart. \u00a0It is so encouraging to see His faithfulness in little subtle moments or in giant words of encouragement or clear direction that repeats over time. \u00a0If you don’t do this – START. \u00a0Don’t let these precious gifts slip away, for they can bear fruit in your soul again and again.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
