[Ep 164] 3 Key Lessons for Journaling in Difficult Seasons

I remember when my kiddos were little. Those months after bringing a baby home just radically change how you do life, don't they? From trying to figure out how to get some sleep to finding time to shower to learning what temperature to warm their bottle and when they can start eating different foods… it's just all so much. Journaling in that season looked a lot different than it did in other, more ordinary life seasons. And then there are situations where you stop journaling altogether, like Elizabeth McCravy shared back in episode 55. When her dad died, it was about a year before she picked up her journal again. The choice is up to you, whether you journal during difficult seasons or not. You'll know what's right for you. God will guide you in that.  But if you're finding yourself wanting to journal during this time and aren't sure how to, I want to offer you 3 tips so that you can still reap the benefits from journaling and also stay close to God.
