Journaling is an ancient way to reflect on the world around us, within us. Writing or drawing a few pages a day often opens up pathways to new thoughts, new insights and new energy. The pen is often the key that unlocks the door to a hidden world of peace, beauty and a renewed sense of being protected by a good, generous and gracious God.
What you put in your journal becomes your own personal sacred writings. Journal entries are sacred in the sense of being set aside for a holy purpose. That purpose is helping you become the very best person you can be as one created in the image of a creative and caring God.
This is taken from Journaling: Create your own sacred writings, a resource writing by Kathryn Haueisen that is available for free download in both English and Spanish from womenoftheelca.org.
