"What He ordains for us each moment is what is most holy, best, and most divine for us." Jean-Pierre de Caussade

New Journal: Page 1

I closed my last journal with gratitude: to Christ for laying down His life for me; and with a prayer that I could serve Him with my life, even though just a pittance. Now may this journal continue to mark my steps in my journey — a trek that leads me more and more into an awareness of Divine Love … of Christ Himself.

Sea captains, led by stars, kept journals. Explorers. Generals. Real feet to the ground men and women filled pages with expeditions, explorations, conduct and adventures. Whereas I may never leave the state of Georgia, mine is no less a journey. A journey of my heart … of my life. Of significant moments, and most certainly the not-so-significant. It’s not about headlines — but heartbeats. Prayers, thoughts, laments and praise, wishes, longings … and hopefully, a whole lot of gratitude. A book that will go with me and grow with me on my journey.

So, Lord, bless this journal. Bless the empty pages with words. May it become a testimony to You, to me … to our journey together.
