The black covered journal was my last journal and I picked it with purpose. I felt it was appropriate with all the changes that were going on in my life, with leaving Micah, starting over on my own, new job, grieving the loss of my dad. I needed the Lord's strength in all that. I have discovered that the last couple of journals I have written in have ended having a theme, like a chapter continued in my story. It wasn't planned....at least by me but worked out that way.
This journal with the pink cover speaks volumes of where I'm at in my life right now and the best thing is that a very dear friend gave it to me. She may have picked it with purpose or the Lord lead her to give me that journal as a Christmas gift but either way it was and is the next theme, or chapter in my life. I don't know what is in store for myself and my family. I know what I think needs to happen or would like to happen but really the Lord has the plan and really that is a blessing.
I haven't written here on my blog in awhile or in my journal for a while now. I'm beginning to see that it is a sign of me trying to do life on my own instead of with Him and through His strength. This week I'm going to be more intentional on sitting still in the presence of the Lord with his word in my hand and praying for his steps for my feet to take will be clear in each day with each moment.
