This entry began with me writing about when to take medications.  It was very detailed and boring to read, but evidently helpful for me to write.  Then I remembered that I was talking to God!!

From the journal . . . .October 2017

Lord, it’s pretty silly to write that in my journal.  It would be helpful if I could separate among trivial, important, and significant while writing it.  However, I don’t write with a reader in mind, apart from You.   My writing is for You, Lord.  Well, on second thought, not exactly.  I write to You because I focus better knowing to whom I write.  You don’t need me to write out my thoughts and feelings because You know all about them.

Psalm 139:1-4. Lord, You have searched me and known me.
² You know when I sit down and when I get up;
You understand my thought from far away.
³ You scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
⁴ Even before there is a word on my tongue,
Behold, Lord, You know it all. NASB

So, I guess I write for me, and I often read it again later.  I wonder if I will ever get caught up reading all that I have written. 

And I Believe God Said:

I created your brain, your mind, your heart, and your soul.  You are a writer.  It’s what you do.  I know all about you.  When you write you are more aware of Me.  Your thoughts sometimes are My thoughts.  My thoughts are My word.  They are who I am.* Your thoughts are all over the map!  So many are incomplete, and you don’t have a clue about them. That’s okay.  I know everything about you and, to Me, you were worth dying for.  You are Mine.  Encourage others who know Me.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God

Lord, thank You.  I want to know You more and more.  I want to be more like You.  That would be Your work.  I think my work would be to act like You.  ‘What would Jesus do?’  Lord, that’s a good concept.  Some people find ways to criticize it.  Some people, even I at times, want to find things to criticize.  Instead, I should always look for actions and attitudes to imitate, the good things I see in others!
