How to keep the Spirit of God FRESH!


The Art and Soul of Journaling, Laying the Foundation-


Goal:

To learn, through consistent journaling, how to keep the Spirit of God fresh, resulting in health to your soul.

Soul Defined:

“Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.”
1 Thessalonians 5:23 (NLT)

“With the body, through the senses, we relate to our surroundings. The soul, or personality, consists of the functions of the mind, will, and emotions. The soul enables us to transcend our abilities, limitations, and circumstances as we are regenerated or reborn and indwelt by the Holy Spirit.” Excerpt from The Wheel and Line: A Guide to Freedom Through the Cross by Charles R. Solomon, Ed.D. 

Journaling Defined: 

“A record of experiences, ideas and reflections kept regularly for private use.” Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Do what he wants you to do. Then all those things will also be given to you.” Matthew 6:33 (NIRV) My Story: (Partial Excerpt from Chapter 1) God I need Help!
