I know that I am not wrestling alone. I have a Companion in my efforts to find a way to live with integrity. I have found no better way than journaling to prepare my heart and clear my mind in order to open myself gratefully to my Creator in adoration and worship. Howard Thurman is right when he suggests that our spirits must learn a discipline in order to live a life of doxology. I have learned that the time I set aside daily to reflect intentionally on my experience, to translate myself into God's presence, and to offer praise for all that has just happened, can make the difference between inner disorientation and reconciliation.
Every day brings new challenges.
My life script is unpredictable. Yet the regimen of spiritual journaling enriches me with therapy, congruence, and doxology and has proven to be of lasting benefit. It has carried me over the long haul.
