A Different Kind Of Journal To Keep

I bought the "Become A Better You" 2009 daily inspirational desk calendar. This calendar has daily inspirational thoughts by Joel Osteen, from his book, Become A Better You. On March 12, 2009, his thought for the day was to keep a journal or notebook and write down things that happen to you that you know is God. A door that was opened to you, a job offer, some extra money, direction on a decision you have to make, something that lifted you up when you were down, etc. In essence, this would be a list or record of the good things God has done for you. I was inspired by this because I never thought to keep this type of journal. I have experienced God throughout my life in many ways, though I did not always see it was him at work until later. I plan to start my God Journal and when I am down and out, discouraged, or feeling helpless, I can open it up and read from it and reaffirm that God works in mysterious ways.
