On the first day of the new year I cracked open a brand new journal to begin jotting notes as I sit with my open Bible each day.  GOD’s Spirit has given me a hunger to know Him, really KNOW Him.  

I am one of those people who needs the process of hand-writing His Words and my response to them in a notebook to help me think about those Words – not just read them and forget them as soon as I close the Book. What, exactly, does this mean to me?!  What do these verses tell me about the One I am getting to know more personally?

Nearly two months have passed already!  I am thankful for the nudge earlier today to spend some time reviewing and reflecting on some of the things that have touched and encouraged my heart.  What have I learned so far?  What questions do I still have?  Despite my efforts to make reading my Bible a conscientious process, what have I already forgotten in a matter of weeks that is worth re-discovering!?

As I revisit these nuggets from GOD’s Word, I realize that they truly are “wind in my sails.”  The growing list of things I am learning about GOD gives me something solid to hold onto when the seas get rough, power and courage to forge ahead as He sets my course, and a welcomed lift to my spirit, much like fresh air and warm sun on my face!
