My favorite Christmas gift this year, like it is every year, was my journal. I love to journal. I write the verses that I read that day that really bring me hope and peace and life. I journal what He speaks to my heart. I journal my struggles as well as my triumphs. I journal my goals and hopes and dreams. At the end of the year I like to read over my journal and see what the main theme was of the year. The first page is usually a word for the year…what I think God is going to do in the coming year. Then the last page is usually my word for the year of what He had done. I like to be able to see in black and white how close they come to lining up….
