On the Journaling Life: 10 Years and Counting

I have been journaling for over ten years now. My first entry from 2010 begins with the ever-eloquent “Arghhhh!” of a furious thirteen-year-old.

Our basement library is largely populated by Christian living resources, and our upstairs shelves are loaded with volumes on church health.

Have you read “Spirit-Filled Singing” yet? Which fruit of the Spirit do you most associate with musical worship?

From my latest blog post. 💛 May you know the astonishing love of our Lord, whose mercies are new each morning.

Instilling a love of reading as early as possible. 📚 I did have to pause Les Mis, though, because a 10 lb baby and 1,000+ page book were too much for my back to handle just now. 😬

A blessed Ash Wednesday to you all. ✝️
