One journal down...

I just finished my first journal ever.  Cover to cover, it's filled.  This might not sound particularly interesting to you, but I am REALLY excited! See, I have always liked journaling, but I wasn't very consistent in doing it.  I would journal for a couple months and then go into a funk and not write anything for a few months.  I had some weird complex with returning to that same journal with the proof that I was really inconsistent in my records.  So, I would always buy a new one.  Due to this, I have about 7 journals that are, at most, half-way filled.  Well, last September, I bought a new journal because I really wanted a fresh start; I wanted to be more dedicated to written prayer requests, my thoughts, and basically what is going on in my life and how I see God working.  Well, I finished it.  Finally! It is really exhilarating for me.  I had a personal goal for myself to be more dedicated to this and to use it as a helpful tool in growing in my faith, and I did it.  I started my new journal yesterday, and it is a little surreal for me, if that makes any sense.  The clean pages.  The crispness when I write.  The outside isn't worn down or tearing at the corners.  I am excited to start this new journal... Pushing myself to write every single day, even if it is simply one memory or record of how I saw God working... or even a prayer request or two.  I need to write every day.  This journey that I am on (Hello, LIFE!) is so interesting and I learn new things every single day. God is continually teaching me about myself, Himself, and others.  Why wouldn't I want those memories documented? Anyways, this will be fun.
