Thanks for visiting my diary. I've been journaling since 1984 and have chosen to share some of my entries online. They are not all positive thoughts, but I hope that reading them might be a blessing to someone who needs encouragement.
If you are just coming to my diary for the first time, please read my introductory entry, where I share some background that is important if you plan to follow this diary regularly.
Please also visit my music page, where you can hear samples from my debut CD, I Believe, which features songs written based on experiences shared in this journal.
I was really depressed when I went to bed last night. I started to cry. "Lord," I said, "I know You never give us anything we can't handle. You came down here, so surely You must understand what it is like to be human. Please give me the strength to go on."
"Pray for Judy," said a voice that I didn't quite recognize. It was almost Mom's. "Lou Anne said she'd need your prayers."
I tried to remember every name on my prayer list. I thought, Maybe God wanted me to pray to make me feel better. It isn't working.
"I pray for someone I don't know about."
That was all it took. Suddenly I realized that when I prayed I was noticed by God. And being noticed by God is more important than being noticed by all the people of the universe.
