A Crowned Thorn

What is the value of a thorn in our Christian journey? First, we must identify what a thorn is. According to the Dictionary one definition describes a thorn as “a source of continual annoyance or trouble”. A thorn can cause an immediate pain from its puncture or it can cause constant irritation and distress. Thorns that appear as a source of trouble are usually not welcomed companions on our daily quest. But the thorns we encounter are useful despite their irritations and disruptions. Thorns come to challenge and to strengthen your faith, your character, and your witness as a child of God. Thorns are the mechanism from which you gain more than you lose. Thorns are the pathway to reaching higher heights and deeper depths of sanctification and glory. With each thorn that attaches itself to your life, you become more and more like Christ. You become an overcomer of the thing that came to irritate or to disrupt your growth, but it, in turn, propels you into greater achievement in holy livi...

Why Journal?


As Christians we live a full life and so much of our life is lived outside of the church.  It is outside of the church we  apply the lessons we gained from inside of our church services, bible studies, and christian living seminars.  Outside of the church is also  where we actively demonstrate our commitment to living and serving the Lord by living righteously and uprightly in all settings and with all people. 
We as Christians are learning daily how to live with integrity and grace adhering to the principles and expectations God has set before us. Outside of the church is where we continuously build and rely upon the relationship we are forging with God.  We depend upon and seek His counsel to help us  live out our lives according to His divine will. So much happens to us, for us, and through us during our time away from church that impacts us both spiritually and emotionally. It is important to have a way to process our journey of living for Christ and to process our feelings and experiences with God as he continues to shape us and mold us into becoming who He desires us to be. 
Journaling provides the way to intimately converse with God. It provides the sacred space to tell your story your way, detailing what you feel, what you encounter, how you hurt, how you hope, and how you have overcome obstacles; while detailing how God meets you on the pages and intimately gives of himself to encourage and strengthen you as only He can. Journaling is a way to process the lessons learned and the challenges yet to conquer. It provides a place to record the unique story of your life by chronicling all that you have experienced and endured while staying a committed servant of the Lord.
Your story as an ambassador of Christ builds relationships, builds strength, builds confidence, and it requires  the emotional release needed to speak your heart with the knowledge that God meets you on the pages and ministers to your soul to keep you close to Him and encouraged to press on as His precious child.
