| Wouldn't it be cool to keep a journal and update it everyday with the whatever you wanted for that day? You could look back on it later and be drawn back into events that happened in your life. It would probably be best to keep it relatively simple so that writing in it wouldn't be a chore. Just the notables for that day, feelings, thoughts, a conversation, something that someone special said to you, and you could look at it later and go, "Oh yeah, I had totally forgotten about that. I really didn't want to forget about that, because it was so significant and meant so much to me. It's a part of my life." Maybe keeping a journal is worth it. I would also like to exercise pretty much every day again. This winter is making it hard for me to run. It's so worth it though! I am twenty years old. I can't believe how wonderful this birthday was. I have been awakened to this awesome realization these past months of how I am loved more than I can know. And I love you more than you can know through God. He's the God of love. Can you believe that He came in the likeness of man to save people who recognize and repent of their sins and believe on Him? That was Jesus Christ who came. He is awesome! Oh man, I can't even tell you, you have to experiance it. I should sharing this with everyone I know, but I keep falling short and not telling people when I get the chance. I should pray for help in this. God tells me to pray, He encourages me, He wants me (yeah, me! How cool is that? I am told in His word that I can talk directly to Him) to talk to Him and tell Him about my life, and to listen to Him through His word and Spirit. I hope and I do pray that in this year, if you don't have a relationship with this awesome, glorious God who made you and me, that He leads you to know Him. And if you do have a relationship with God, I hope and pray that you may become more Christ-like than ever before and in your words and your walk to tell others about Jesus Christ. Would God keep a journal, I wonder. Well, I understand that he is completely sovereign and powerful, so He probably remembers everything and doesn't have any need to write things down. Oye, God tells great stories, actual stories, things that really happened (kind of like the story of Shackleton and his men, a great storie and true, but God's stories are written by and through Him and have no errors). The Bible is full of them. It will be really cool if God will tell stories to his people when they are joined with him in eternal life. |
