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.
Lord, I know I've been straying away from You lately, and I would like to try to come back. I need Your strength and encouragement to do it because I really can't do it on my own. I want to change a lot of things in my life, and I don't seem to have the strength to do any of them.
1. I want to have more desire to grow spiritually.
2. I want to be more disciplined about reading Your Word.
3. I want to concentrate more when I pray.
4. I want my thoughts to be controlled by You so that I will have more of the fruits of the Spirit.
5. I want to eat right.
6. I want to balance my time between James, Chi Alpha, friends, and school.
Lord, I thank You for sending the right people to minister to me when I need them. Thank You for sending Betty and Tonia at justthe right times.
I also want to continue to be open to You. I want You to continue giving me divine appointments. I would especially like tosee Elaine and Betty. I would like Your blessing on my time with Amy--I would like to see her grow closer to You.
Please bless me and James. I feel like we have not been very in tune with each other lately, and I want that back because that was the part of our relationship that made me feel safe. I know that we won't get it back until we are both in tune with You. I need to be patient with him and with myself. I want us to start being faithful about attending church together. Please help me with my temptation to stay home, and help him with his stomach problems.
I also need Your help in writing a letter to Rachel. I don't know what to say to her. I want her to realize that I do careabout her and that I do want and need her friendship. I want her to take me seriously when I talk about You. I want her to trust me the way she used to.
I am a member of Lighted Path, a directory of Christian diaries.
