Journaling

This is a lovely little journal I did last year. I love the vintage flowers on the front, they were a gift from my sweet friend. The vintage button is from Guilding the Lily, my favorite little store in downtown Fullerton. Nancy the shops proprietress took this photo after a class taken one Saturday morning there. This was a wonderful creative challenge for me, I am now hooked on creating one of a kind books for my friends. Jessica and Kathleen were the lucky recipients this year, who knows you may be next! Journaling is such a great way to capture your life's story. I find writing things down brings such clarity. It is biblical too, in Habakkuk 2:2 it says, "Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it." I like that last part, that he may run.... that is such a now word from the Lord. I feel like this is the season we are to run with the dreams and ideas He has given us. What dreams has the Lord given you? Have they become dusty and faded with time? Go back revisit them, blow the dust off and ask Him for renewed passion for those things that once excited you. Start a new journal of dreams, ask the Lord to speak to you and bring to rememberance those things that have gotten burried in the hustle and bustle of life. Take time to do something for you, something that will inspire you and ignite a spark of excitement, draw, paint, write.... the sky is the limit.
