This study has made me think about how often I tell God what He needs to do. I need to spend more time asking God what to do, listening and being prepared for his response and praying His word.

Journalizing has helped me to really think about some of my innermost thoughts; it has challenged me. It is refreshing to write down things to God or to hear from God. This has been most revealing to me this week. I do believe it helps you to become more connected to God. You speak of weakness, concerns, desires, and you tie this in with acceptance; it becomes alive to you.

Last night I started out with “I” this and “I” that. The Holy Spirit stopped me and said, “Start over. I will give you the words to write. When you read them you will know that they are Truth and that I wrote them not you.” By journalizing the Holy Spirit had the chance to tell me His truth about my life; truth He wanted me to know.

Journalizing is like the difference between receiving a form letter that goes out to everyone versus a personal, hand written letter from my Lord.

Journalizing encourages writing down conversations with God rather than having them “in my head”. I have found this to be a very powerful way of reinforcing the reality of this relationship and making it more prominent in my everyday life.

Visionwriting helps me to put His infinite ways into my finite means of understanding.

Journalizing is the tool we use to repeatedly enter the cave and bring out more treasures. As we continue to enter the cave and spend time with the Lord, we dig deeper and deeper to reveal a wealth within us. This is Christ in us. I spend time outwardly praying to God and speaking my requests and wishes but journalizing is inward and He is the one who asks the questions and makes demands of me. It isn’t a one-sided conversation any longer but a rich dialogue.

Journalizing brings me out of depression. It gives me life through my relationship with my God, my Lord and Savior, and the Holy Spirit within me. Journalizing renews my mind and my soul. It helps me to stay on the right path. It connects me to the love of God and also to the correction of God (always delivered in a loving way). It helps me to correct worldly thinking and shows me a glimpse of how God sees me and the universe. In other words, the relationship with God it promotes gives me life!

Visionwriters taught me to be honest in my journals and to ask questions I was afraid to ask. I got answers that calmed my heart no matter how hard they were. The Lord taught me that if I can’t be honest with Him then I can’t be honest with myself or others. Instead of suppressing my doubts I now give them to the Lord and my battle with unbelief is quieted.

I had taken a few courses here and there and knew that I had gotten a lot out of them. But I began to notice something different about those students who continued in the courses. There was a greater level of growth in those who remained steady. I made a commitment to get into the classes for a least one full year…and I saw the beauty of what the Lord has intended through this ministry.
