Lest We Forget 

This will be written for the generation to come, that a people yet to be created may praise the LORD. 
Psalm 102:18 

Recommended Reading 2 Peter 1:12-15

Have you tried journaling? Yes, you say, and it went well for a while, then you got too busy and didn’t have time to write and write and write. Well, the great thing about journaling is you can do it your way according to your own schedule and personality. The latest craze is “bullet journaling,” in which items are jotted down in bullet points, utilizing lists and homemade graphs and charts.

Some people use a wide-margin Bible to journal their thoughts while reading through the Bible. Others use journaling features on their phones. Still, it’s hard to beat the old-fashioned way of using a notebook to record a few thoughts each morning or evening about your day and the lessons God gives you in His Word.

When we journal our walk with God, it helps us remember His faithfulness to us. Our lives go by in a blur, and our memories fade with time. What a treasure to record answers to prayer, special promises God gives, and thoughts during life’s crucial moments. Writing helps us clarify our thoughts, and it leaves a testimony to others.

Why not give journaling another try?

Keep a notebook. Travel with it, eat with it, sleep with it. Slap into it every stray thought that flutters up into your brain. Cheap paper is less perishable than gray matter, and lead pencil markings endure longer than memory.
