Bringing Back Journaling

​I came across a box of keepsakes — journals, pictures, old IDs and my bucket list that I am still working on. I went through the open items and I realized that on there was keep a journal for a year. Something I haven’t done in a very long time. I began to read the ONLY journal I really have left and it is from 2010. 15 years ago I was 13 going to be 14 years old. It made me realize how special it is not only to have my actual writings, but my thoughts written down — what I was doing, thinking, saying, feeling. Something’s were BIG and other things I wrote were just the mundane. However, everything in there was mine to have and to remember. 

I remember how exciting it was to read the new pioneer woman blog post or to find those who lived different lives than I did and live vicariously through their normal every day. Not only did you see the pictures but you felt through what they wrote! Reading brings so much intentionality to the fast paced life we live. Taking pictures, posting pictures, but do we read and listen and slow down even long enough to write down what is going on in our life?

# [go back and add] of my bucket list is to keep a journal for a year && I want add in some blogging, also. 

Verse of the day: Isaiah 40:3 — The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the Lord; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God.

What a neat verse to begin this new journey!!
