This is the post I had planned for 9/11. I'm still a little bummed that it didn't make it in time.
This is a prayer journal I made for September. My pink camo journal is almost out of paper and for some reason I just didn't want to use it up just yet. So I decided to make my own every month. This is a 6x12
Bazzill Basics album. They are hard to find but soon to be available at PaperandGlam.com. What I love most about this book is that you can get 6x12 pages or 4x4 photo pages for it. This way I can make a prayer journal/photo journal.
The real reason I started this new regime was to encourage myself to study Scripture every morning. I thought if I had a place to write my favorite verses I would be inspired to write and spend time with God every morning. Plus what an awesome way to record your life. Everything goes in here...tickets, notes from
The Rock's Sunday service, pictures from that day, goals, quotes, song lyrics, to-do lists. etc. What a great way to see the beauty all around us and find photo opportunities everywhere. Plus what a great home for journaling you can revisit and use on pages.
As I was adding my pictures to iPhoto (I switched to Mac last month), I realized I don't have too many pictures from just everyday life. And life is too good to forget. I know they say you "remember days, not moments" but what if we remembered all of it?
At first I was wondering when I would find to do this every night, but I do believe that people make time for what is important to them, and I really want this to be important to me, so hopefully I'll stick to it!
Note: I got this idea from
Stacy Julian. Its in her book "The Big Picture."
