I am loving this Journaling chapter. I was so excited to get started. I have been working through my book Sunday mornings while my daughters are at Sunday School. I find a quiet place, bring along my coffee and journal and get done to business.
We have missed church the last couple of weeks because of our trip to the coast, so I was happy to get back to our church family. I have a bag that I take each week to church that carries my Bible, journal, pens, highlighters and a few things for the girls to do during church and then it carries home all the goodies the girls receive or make at church. I had used the bag for other things while on our trip so I quickly emptied it and through in the necessities while I was running out the door Sunday morning. As I was running out the door I was trying to make sure that I had everything and I didn’t think that there was a pen in my bag but I didn’t have time to check I just hoped that I had one in my purse.
I dropped the girls off at their class and as I walked by the front table I noticed an envelope with my name on it. My secret sister had left a surprise waiting for me! I find my quiet place and get everything ready to start reading and studying the journaling chapter. As I find the right page and start reading my mind- which is generally is going in several directions at once- remembers that special gift that I had put in my purse. I can’t wait till I get home to open so I open the envelope to see the perfect gift at the perfect time. A beautiful pen with the names of Christ engraved all over it. Beautiful! then I began to smile and laugh when I got to the section where Nicole is talking about things that you need to have to journal, and one is a pen that writes nicely and inspires you to write.
I now have my perfect pen for journaling. Thank you Secret Sister!
God truly does provide!
