One of my favorite things to do is to look through my journal and read some of the entries that I wrote in the past.  I’ve always found that practice to be extremely uplifting and encouraging.  There’s nothing like seeing where you WERE to give you better perspective on where you ARE. Below is a journal excerpt from about 4-5 months ago – around Thanksgiving Day.  

Everything I wrote about back then – especially the things that didn’t make sense at the time – now are crystal clear.  They weren’t back then, but in looking back, truly I can say that “God makes all things work together for good to those who love who Him, to those who are called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28).

Below is the excerpt (modified to fit blog post form of course).  Enjoy!
