.As strange and unblogable this might sound.I have come to realize that when i write things down .when i actually jot down my thoughts whatever strange and all over the place they might be.things start getting clearer .i dont know what is or why this is ?.. but it just is... its like one moment i have a whole cloud of ..asdfjkñl.. inside me then i write it down and its a sentence .. and i feel lighter .. This is why i like to journal..its kind of like a diary.but not ..at least not for me . because in a dairy .. i would write to my diary..hence the whole "Dear diary" thing.who is that?As young girl I attempted many times to keep one but lacked the disciplne to write in it.. so it never happened...later on I tried it again .. but with a different aproach.Not really even knowing what to write i would simply write what i was feeling .. what was going on in my life.yeah it was kind of like a diary, But I wasnt talking to the air..or to myslef.I was talking to God, I soon realized that someone was actually reading this thing.. theese entrys where like prayers,execept i would write them down instead of speaking them ..but they where prayers.. I was opening myslef up to him..its like writing a letter to a friend, who i couldnt see and didnt know how to reach..and this friend had access to my heart.. in the moment it seems something so natural.. so ordinary.but now realize how this little thing has actually made me grow so much closer to Him.i was trusting him with my deepest darkest secrets..that he already knew,but in giving theese to him .I was letting him into a part of me i myself didnt even know existed.. I now can read my journals i can now see how he was with me-even guiding the converstion . sometimes i would start my entry worried,confused and troubled and I could sense/read how it would suddenly shift to a peaceful resolution or an affirmation that im pretty certain came from him (because there is no way i could of come up with it), allthis in the same entry... back then i didnt know what was going on but now i see it, he was speaking to me . he actually listens.. and he knew exactly how to make me open up to him.. not because he doesnt already know whats going on inside me .but because he actually wants to hear from us he,he knows us better than we know ourselves. its all about us Knowing him .. he actually wants us to know him... and not just "know" him like theory..we can know our multiplication tables,.. but this never really gets to have any influence over our heart, emotions, spirit , soul.. does it ? well at least not for me.. its in my head.. i memorized it.. but that it.. see Jesus, hes not an assignment or a class or a checklist ....see he wants us to KNOW HIM .. AND he actually wants to be our friend.. our really close friend...our best friend... or something even closer that.. this has and still undeniably is part of my journey towards Him becoming that..and its undeniable that its him who started it in me .. why did i suddenly feel an urge to start writing it down? why was I writing it to him and not to my "Diary"?.. when i was a young 15 year old .. kind of curious about God .. wanting to know him but not knowing how ..clueless.and desperately wanting "the real deal".. i prayed for that exactly.. this seems like an answer to prayer now that i think about it .. im 20 now .. and i can tell the difference.. .. so yes .. i would recomend you get a journal:) .. and just do it... it might seem wierd in the begining but just write your heart out.. pour yourself out.. simply write it out..all of it.. its kind of like a letter to your closest friend/relative .. who wants to know all about your life and wants to know whats in your heart.. its okay to cry.. its ok not to not feel anything at all.. the fact the you are writing it down that you even considering it.. means that you care :) and he cares .. and deeply loves you and really wants to talk to you .. :) and he has alot to say.. he just wants us to come to Him :)
