Journaling with Gratitude

I have great memories of attending church with my family, going to summer church camp and being involved in regional quiz competitions - various spiritual activities that provided a wonderful foundation for having faith in God and truly helping me to have a sincere spirit of joy, even if I was needing to pivot or regroup following general life troubles / personal bad decisions. In general, I stepped away from seeking God's presence ~not setting a specific time aside to read the Bible nor daily devotion and sadly getting very comfortable trying to fill my spiritual 'gap' with other people and activities. In January of this year, I began a new journey to pursue a second career. With a lot of specialized knowledge and certainly paying money / spending so much time after completing my W2 job, I sincerely loved that my teacher and mentor has created an environment to grow, learn and do business as a Christian. She has helped me know and recognize that God has amazing and powerful plans for each one of us. [I knew this before, of course. But now I think I'm re-learning God's abundance for me, because he gives me strength to move forward without fear :-) !!] With my mentor's instruction and guidance, I have created a terrific AM routine to sincerely seek time with God: journaling about gratitude, spiritual/emotional, health/fitness, mindset/growth and business/finance. I have learned ~ and am sincerely thankful for ~ now being able to see other people through God's eyes. Understanding a loving kind of patience and peace when the same situations would instigate so much anger and terrible energy this time last year. I am experiencing joy on so many levels, have a heart of gratitude.
