Discover your journal's potential to be a tool for spiritual growth
Kirsten Birkett encourages us to pick up our notebooks and pens and use journaling as a tool to grow in godliness. Writing is a powerful act. It takes time and allows us the space to turn emotions like sadness or anger into joy.
The Puritans used diaries as a way to give themselves spiritual counsel. It helped them to remember God's mercies, to reflect on how He has been at work, and to be thankful.
