Keeping journals is important to me. In them, I write revelations. I record things happening in my life. I record prayer requests. I write excerpts from books I found helpful and jot down bible verses.
The real treasures in journal keeping include these points:
1. It helps release thoughts.
2. It acknowledges the prayers of the heart.
3. Readings are reinforced through writing them out.
4. It gives a place to jot down dreams and heart's desires.
5. It is a form of communication with God.
6. Going back to re-read a journal shows you your life journey.
7. Going back to re-read your prayers allows you to see which ones were answered.
8. Important insights you collected, when re-read, help you in your today life.
9. Your journal becomes a neat (but sometimes messy) life roadmap.
I like this style of journal I ordered through Amazon. They are 6" x 8" coil bound.
(I have a Facebook friend who uses an online app for her journalling. She prefers to type out her thoughts and it is encrypted. If that suits you better, do that.)
