I forced myself to read my journals from when i was like 19 to 21
I was a mess. a mess! it's embarrassing to read. BUT the neat thing that stands out is how FAITHFUL God is to me. my journals are really like prayer journals, and mostly I was in a "state" when I would write in them. lots of heart cry for my Jesus to grow me up, help me cope, bring me closer to Him, forgive me, and give me self control. help me. He has been faithful. not that i have arrived or anything ( as my family says humm ahdoy ) but let me tell you Jesus has healed me from so much. i noticed some direct answers to prayers - God has given me a firm walk in Him, He has kept me married,I am raising my children in Him,I have friends to love,I don't have shame from guilt, and i have tons more self control then i did.
Praise be to God. I guess i won't burn the journals ( that was my original thought before reading) because they bring glory to God.
