Journal Learning Journey: To Know Him More!
Happy Monday everyone and welcome to week 1 of a Journal Learning Journey: To Know Him More!
At the beginning of last year I started a daily devotional called “2 know Him more” but got overwhelmed as I wanted it to be a daily devotional and although I spend devotional time with the Lord nearly every day, getting it posted on the blog was entirely overwhelming to me.
Journal Learning Journey: 2 Know Him More
It’s a new year and my desire and focus are the same and I hope yours are too! Ha! So this year I am combining 2 Know Him More along with a Journal Learning Journey!
Journaling is my primary way of spending time with the Lord…I have been journaling for almost 30 years now!
A Journal Learning Journey: To Know Him More will be posted ONCE a week and will still have printables to go along!
I want to know God more this year than I ever have in my entire life, don’t you? And if you don’t know him, I want you to know he knows you!
God knows our name he knows our heart he hears our heart cries…
And still loves us!
Do you want to make a difference in the world and in the lives of your family and friends? Knowing God and allowing him to change our lives is just how we do that!
[Tweet “God wants to show us great and unsearchable things we do not know! Jeremiah 33:3”]
Although I will have printed prompts and printables, I will not be telling you what to journal to God. This is an intimate journey between you and him… this is about YOU getting to know him and his will for YOUR life.
There is freedom in Christ to be exactly who he created us to be and we don’t have to journal like everyone else, so do what works for you.
I’ll walk you through it, I’ll guide you along the way.
Assignment number 1
The notebook / journal
Please oh please don’t get caught up in the perfect journal!
Look at mine! God does not care what your journal looks like!
If you desire to have a pretty one, that’s OK too…just don’t get caught up in the perfect journal thing. Here are some lovely journals!

Amazon has some pretty ones too!
Oooh and NO computer journaling! Paper and pencil please. Waaay to0 many distraction with computers. Trust me…I know.
Now write the date and write a couple of sentences to God… yes to God!
even if its…
- I feel dumb doing this
- I don’t know what to say
- I love u God but isn’t this a bit overboard
- I don’t ever know if you exist but if you do exist I want to know you
You get my drift… just write, it doesn’t matter what you say… God knows your heart P
Do this every day…just a couple of sentences. Don’t worry about what it says, just do it.

“Just do it” is a good goal. Sometimes that first word is the hardest. We do tend to get caught up in the right journal, the right pen, and the right words. I join your desire to know God more.
Although I love doing it, I’m so very inconsistent at journaling! I have mine from over the years, tho, and I love going back over them from time to time. It’s so faith-building to see how God has answered prayers over time, and the people and situations He’s laid on my heart…
Thanks so much for shating this at Coffee & Conversation this week!!
When I started reading my Bible daily, I kept a journal. Somehow, over time, that habit stopped. Probably due to the fact that I barely found time to READ my Bible, let allow take the time to write. I miss that and should get back into the habit. Thanks for the reminder!
