Caroline Myss once invited listeners to make a timeline of their worst moments. Afterwards, she encouraged them to go back and look for the graces that accompanied each challenge. Because they definitely do!<br /><br />Sarah, you are so welcome! Love you, too! Yes, the other stuff is in other places in the blog. And, it seems to me, that all of our journaling transforms us. You know what I mean?<br /><br />:-) RochelleThe Write Now!

It sounds like it had deep meaning for you and the family. It makes me so angry when others are that inconsiderate of other people's property. <br /><br />I like the idea of writing2dump; I'm sure that's what most of my journaling life has been. I'm intrigued by the others, writing2build and writing2transform in particular. Perhaps you have written about these exercises elsewhere in your blog. I will have to keep looking. I think these exercises would help me in my goal of writing a memoir.<br /><br />Thanks for all you give and share with so many!<br /><br />Love you, my dear friend.<br /><br />SarahSarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-604860329768646217.post-34956467747038918362010-03-17T09:29:30.807-05:002010-03-17T09:29:30.807-05:00Okay... So I'm commenting for selfish reasons,...Okay... So I'm commenting for selfish reasons, to get my name in that jar of yours, but its a comment...right??<br /><br />I think we Lutherans have something called the "Theology of the Cross" that explains that. Besides all that fancy mumbo jumbo, I think the point of it is that God shows up MOST when the pot is shattered in a million pieces than when the pot is in one piece. At least that's when we see God the most in Christ. When he's broken and hanging on a cross. Then we say with the centurion: "That was the Son of God!"<br /><br />And in the same regard, God shows up MOST when YOU are complaining and can't find anything right in the world. When life's a mess, God is usually closest to you. But when life's going great, we have little use for God. Look for God when things have shattered and your most likely to find him.<br /><br />Maybe a good question for your journaling would be: "Where is God in all of this?" And instead of working to build, work to watch and see where God is ALREADY mending and building and raising you up to New Life in Him.<br /><br />Just a thought...and a comment(and like a said for a selfish reason too! :) )<br /><br />Bill DohleBill Dohlehttp://dohlesdevos.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
