I’ve been reading a book lately that I’ve had for years and years in my book collection. I haven’t cracked it open in probably 18 years. But while I was rummaging around within some books I had packed away, I found this one. I remember the time and reason for becoming the owner of this particular book. I was going through a very personal time of loss and change. I was discovering some new things spiritually and this book became part of a very deep study I had subjected myself to. A woman, who I highly respect, and aspire to become more like spiritually, recommended this book to me. Yes, indeed it helped me through a dark night of the soul. Yes, it brought me back to God. Yes, I highly recommend it and yes, it will remain within my spiritual growth arsenal of books. I’ve been doing some personal journaling again. I’ve gotten away from that, because of the blogging or facebooking or tweeting. It’s so easy to forget that sometimes the world doesn’t need to know what’s going on every second of my day…ha ha, but that God desires time away with me. My journal is being used to speak to Him and He to me. I’m getting back to listening. I’m getting back to that quiet place when I can find the quiet space to do it in…life gets in the way and I get distracted. In re-reading this book, I am reminded to get back to basics with the spiritual disciplines. My journal, my book.
