Alright, y’all.  Time for a confession.  I’m a novice at what I want to discuss today: using a prayer journal.  I’ve been writing down prayers for, well, less than a week.  But, I still want to share it with you, particularly what sold me on the idea.

If you don’t know, I’m kind of a big fan of writing.  Not just writing for my blog, but writing letters, notes, that kind of thing.

There’s just something about receiving a heartfelt, handwritten letter or note.  Maybe that’s make me a romantic?  Fiiiine, whatever.  But, just knowing someone took the time out of their day to write out a message to you speaks volumes.  To me, it says, “You are worth more than the time it took me to write this for you.”  I mean, some people get so busy (another confession: me, included) that it takes a great deal of effort to simply send a text message back to someone, much less finding paper, a pen, putting your phone down, and writing an actual letter.

I’ll stop that train before it pulls out of the station and arrives at a different destination entirely.  Back to the original topic: prayer journals.
