For most of my adult life, I have felt like a constant failure at daily journaling what I am studying in the Word. Mostly because I have tendonitis in my right hand which makes writing more than a couple sentences in my journal kinda painful. I had just resigned myself to never really being able to study Scripture in that way. This was discouraging to me because I have heard it taught a thousand times that the best way to remember something is to physically write it down. No shortcuts. To really study the Bible, you had to write it out by hand.
Then, this morning in the shower (where my best thinking is done), it hit me! I can journal by typing. I know it isn't the same, but for me it is what I can do and it is so much better to do what I can do than to not journal at all. I am praying that this practice will help me be more consistent in my study of the Word and journaling.
In an effort to not overload my computer with daily journal entries, I decided to make a separate blog where I will keep my entries. There may be times that I share a day's thoughts and readings publically, but most likely these will be kept for my own use- as I prepare my teachings and need encouragement and admonition in my daily life.
So, here it goes......
