When being a mother with three children at the young age of 27, things can be very stressful. I kind of fell of on the things that I loved to do. Some of those things were crafts, scripture writing, an reading. Cleaning the house, doing laundry, helping with homework and baths took up most of my time. At night I would pull out that library book, already overdue, and read two pages. The interest just left me. So one day I just opened my bible app and began to read my daily scripture. Then that led me to reading the book the verse came from to me scheduling bible plans. Before I knew it 3 hours had went by and that love of reading and learning about God came back to me. Not that it never left, its just my focus had strayed from it. So I went and bought a few arts and crafts, notebooks, pens, and set myself a set time to journal everyday. As I began, the stress of the day fell away. The worries and tension were no longer there. I felt a lightness in my shoulders. And I knew that with just a little time before bed, I could release the days load by reading and writing my thoughts, prayers, and praises. I found my niche again, and it felt GREAT! Bible Journals takes me to a peaceful place. When I am stressed, I journal. When I am happy, I journal. When I feel sad, I journal. It helps me think clearly when my mind is foggy. I learned that I didn't have to be the best artist or have the best handwriting to do it. Not only am I being crafty, but I'm learning of Gods grace as well. I'm reading again, and its helping me to take the time to connect to the stuff I really forgot about having interest in. It helped me to find a piece of myself I forgot existed. I journal daily and before the night ends after all of the days tasks, I know at the end of the night I have a treat that awaits just for me.
