Well, at least I've been writing all my thoughts down somewhere. I started journaling again a few weeks ago and I love it! I had one journal for two years, but I just wrote down what happened, in ridiculous detail. I would write all the exact events for two weeks, and then not journal for months! When I finally finished the whole journal this summer (something I've never done before!), I bought a new journal in the summer, and planned on starting it soon afterwards. Obviously, I didn't! It took me a long time to actually start the new one, and I'm glad I did.
Seriously, if you don't have a spiritual journal, I really encourage you to start one. It's been a blessing for me, personally, and I would love for you to experience that as well!
I'd love to hear from you guys! What do you like about journaling? If you keep a journal, what do you write about? Where do you write it? What's your system, and why does it work for you specifically?

I love journaling, although I am not very consistant at writing it it. I write my thoughts and things going on in my life.
I usually tend to do it somewhere quiet where I will not be inturrupted.
Cool blog by the way!
Journaling is amazing... I used to journal about my life a lot, and now I mostly journal in my devotional times, about what I'm reading and praying. Instead of underlining my Bible, I write down verses in my journal. It helps me remember them and keeps me from always focusing on particular verses when I'm reading Scripture.
I think it's great that you're journaling instead of blogging. If I had to pick one, I would definitely pick journaling! :)
Thanks for commenting on my blog!
Cool blog, especially the ipod thing! How can I get it?
I enjoy journaling because I write to the Lord, as if it were a letter. I tell Him how I'm feeling, ask questions, talk about the day or the dream I had last night, anything.
I really like it because it makes me feel closer to the Lord so that even when I'm not writing my thoughts, I easily tell Him everything.
I have two notebooks that I use. The one is for my Bible study and is kind of a journal of what I'm learning. The other one is for me to write everything and anything in- poetry, daily events, emotions, or whatever I just need to write down.
Hey Kelsey ~
You need to start posting again! Journaling is a great idea though, I did it for years and am just now beginning again. I usually write at night and read in the morning. There was a span of two years where I didn't, though, and I really regret not writing things down.
COme back to the blogger world soon! ~Phylicia
