{Faith Journaling} Challenge Introduction

I am interrupting our Tuesday's {Tip} today so that I can share my Faith Journaling Challenge with you. It will begin this Thursday, Nov. 19th, so I wanted to give you the information today so you can prepare!

Below is the introduction to the journaling challenge I started in July on Christian Paper Crafts. Unfortunately with my husband being ill and having been in the hospital, I am unable to keep posting so many things in so many different places. I also need the ability to schedule things in advance so I can work when God gives me those glimpses of time. So, if you haven't participated before, here are the rules. If you have participated before, continue to join in as I post each week! Our Faith Journal is such an important piece to leave for the generations to come.

Okay, everyone! Grab a journal!!! Any journal, notebook, etc. It does NOT have to be altered or anything fancy!!!! We are going to be writing not creating.

I think it is SO important to leave a faith legacy. Do your children know your salvation story? Do they know your favorite hymn? Do they know when you have a quiet time? Etc., etc., etc. Well, last year I created journaling jars and journals and gave them as gifts to my mom and my two aunts for Christmas. Each day they pull a question from the jar and journal whatever the question is about. Then these journals will be for family when they are no longer with us.

So, we are going to create our Faith Journals to leave for the next generation. I will "pull" our question EVERY Thursday. You will then write the question at the top of your page and then journal your answer to that question. You can do it in your quiet time, later in the day, or the next day. I am only doing one question a week so that people do not get swamped or give up because it is too much. I will be handwriting in my journal not typing it on the computer. I think our handwriting tells a lot about who we are too, and I know I love seeing my great grandmother's handwriting, my grandmother's, etc. It is like a piece of them I still have with me. I hope you will join me in actually handwriting too. Below are pages from my grandmother's journal and my great grandmother's journal. Oh how I love seeing their handwriting! I pray you enjoy this and that it is something you will come to love and treasure. Please ask your questions here, and I will post our first question on Thursday, Nov. 19! For those of you that have already been doing this, I will be sprinkling in the questions I have already asked in with the new questions since I am anticipating many new participants. So, let the writing begin!
