I have gone in spurts, but as you say it is just for me, and even if I am not working through a grief at the time, journaling has given me a place to organize my thoughts. After my mom passed away in 2014, there entered a crazy time in my life when even though I thought I was only rejoicing for her that she was present with the Lord, my body broke out in hives all over, and I experienced such pain that I had to walk with a walker to get around. The medications that the doctors resorted to for this “idiopathic urticaria” made me spend many sleepless nights in the recliner in the living room, and that is one time when I found great solace in working through a very frustrating time for me. During that time, I was able to write down how helpless I was and it was a time when God had me realize how dependent I am upon Him for every aspect of my life. I now praise Him for this difficult time, and I am so glad that I wrote down my frustrations, because it is easy to forget the hard times once you have worked through them.

I also love writing down my thoughts during the really great times! We also tend to forget the great times, unless we write them down!

I praise God that you have taken on the work of this blog. Your writings have helped so many people, and meet the need, whether sad or happy. Thank you for doing this, Shirley!
