Today I thought I’d share a site with you that helped revolutionize my spiritual journaling.

First, let me say that it’s my firm belief that you have to find a style that works for YOU. I only offer suggestions here as a starting-off point for you, either to begin or to encourage your own creative ideas.

I began a spiritual journal last summer after coming across a post by Ann Voskamp of A Holy Experience, who posted about how to start a spiritual journal. She writes beautifully about journaling as a spiritual discipline, and better still, she has lovely photographs of her own journals to give a visual representation of what can become a very personal practice. This particular post reawakened the desire in me to track my spiritual life so I can STAY on track with my spiritual life, and not let it go by the wayside, neglected.

I found an unused journal in my box of unused journals that closely matches the size of my Bible. I printed out portions of the journal entry so I’d have a couple of the examples and the suggested guidelines, and glued them into the first several pages of my journal.

Then I began:

After my crazy summer this year, I’ve returned to the discipline of my spiritual journal, and I can’t tell you how much it helps me focus on my Bible reading and meditation.

Journaling is a personal passion of mine. I hope these blog posts about journaling will encourage you to pick up pen and notebook and write!

If you’re a journaler, I’d love to hear from you. Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts!
