One year of me

This book represents one complete year of me.

Last August I started keeping a journal. I've tried to keep one forever but I failed miserably. I never knew what to write or how to say it.

This time I took a new approach - I started it as a thankful journal. Every morning, I would write down all the things I was thankful for that day. It was a great jumping off point and helped me to really focus on my blessings.

Along the way it evolved into prayer requests. And as each day went by, I wrote more and more.

This book contains praises, joy, sorrow, anger, frustration, humility, prideful moments, learning experiences, notes on books I've read, quotations, scriptures and too many other things to list.

This notebook is one year in my life. And as I start a new notebook this morning, I'm flipping through the pages that remind me that God is always faithful even though I fail and disappoint.

Here's to another year of learning, reflection and writing. I'm excited to see what's in store.
