The Pros of Journaling

Within the last two weeks, God has been opening my eyes to His grace more and more. And it's only by His grace that this can happen! A year ago this month, different things happened in my life. So, I've been reading my journal enteries from last year... just to look at where I was and how God was working in my life. And He (and once again, it's only by His grace) has done a work in my life! It's so cool, to look back and see all that He has done. And even to look back on the last 3 years... yes, He let me go through some really hard times, but to see the story He is writing in my life is amazing! He really does have everything planned out!
I love the verses in 2 Corinthians (12:9-10) "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weakness, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insult, hardship, persecutions, and clamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong." Isn't that a comforting thought?
