There are a lot of things in life that I wish I had done. I wish I had taken a picture of the front door of each place we lived over our 36 1/2 years of marriage. What a great collage that would have made!
I wish I had made a scrapbook page documenting each of our anniversaries. After all this time, the years have run together, and I can’t remember a lot of them.
I wish I had been faithful to memorize at least one verse of Scripture each week. A professor at college told us that one verse per week isn’t a lot, but it’s fifty-two in a year. Now, sometimes I’ve really worked at Scripture memory, but more often, I haven’t. So, if I’d followed his admonition, I’d know about 3000 more verses than I know now! Wow!
Another thing I wish I had done was to journal. A lot of well-known people from the past have journaled. I’ve read a lot of them. Yesterday, I heard Dr. David Jeremiah on the radio talking about journaling. He started back in 1994. That’s almost twenty years ago. He said it’s had a great impact on his life in many ways. I thought, “Maybe it’s not too late for me to start.” I tend to be a perfectionist and have a hard time starting on projects like that. I feel like each entry should be a literary masterpiece. But I’m thinking this would be good for me to record what God does in my life each day or so. It will be interesting to see where God takes me on this Journey of Journaling. I’ll let you know.
Do you journal? Has it changed your life? Are you thinking it's time to start?
