As a young teen I journaled to unburden my soul. The pages and the pen were my beloved companions – they gave me a safe place to say what I couldn’t say verbally. Today, over four decades later – writing still allows me empty myself. Frees me of caged emotions that could eat away at my soul. It allows me to pen prayers and reflections that are often difficult to verbally articulate. This is where I find words to connect with my Heavenly Father sometimes when the weight of this world gets a bit too much.
Writing is my therapy – this one comes without a price tag attached. Sometimes I can’t tell when, where, or how it happens – I write, I breathe, and suddenly I’m free. I enjoy the journey. I love the quiet place that writing takes me. The calm it creates for my chaos. I am certain that God, in His wisdom, knew I needed this. I’ll be forever grateful for this gift – may I be use it wisely, purposefully, and responsibly.
“I write only because there is a voice within me that will not be stilled.” – Borrowed
” Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.” ( Proverbs 16:24 NIV)

I understand this more than I can explain. I don’t think I’d have made it through some parts of life without writing to unload my heart.

I so relate – on many levels! One of the reasons I appear sane to many.😄
