Before putting away my really old journal pile that I was dismembering portions of, I decided to just sit down and read the one from right when I first came to know Jesus. The journal started the day after I gave my life to Christ.
As I read over it, some parts of it make me laugh (“tides and offerings”…is that something like “good tidings”?). Other parts make me cry. But all in all, what a work God was doing in me. But even right then, people around me could see a change in me. “Its like a completely different Jess. You sound like you’re really happy, happier than I remember” said Chris. And I saw a lot of changes in my own attitudes. That and there were the little things, the prayers, that looking back God quite faithful to answer.
