THE POWER OF JOURNALING (1).


I love taking down notes during messages in church.

However, over the years I realized that I began to write more, during church service (because God can actually speak to me even before I hear the days message. I also began to write more during personal devotions, study, retreats, and when I have dreams or visions.

And by writing more I mean reflective thoughts, declarations, prayers, confessions, instructions. 

At this time I knew this was no longer a regular church note or journal. Then I began to refer to this writings as My Meditation Journal as I would often go back to them for many different reasons. 

"The art of taking notes is a skill and it can be cultivated."
