We were given a missions journal which really helped put our thoughts and feelings into words during our entire journey. The pages started 7 days before we left, continued for the 10 days of our trip, and had a 7 day post trip journaling as well.
This journal really helped me see some areas in my life that I have been improving at - Grace, and areas that I need improvement in - Selflessness. Taking a look, at the end of each day, of how Christ lived through you is a really challenging thing. Each day we were recording facts, smells, sights, sounds, tastes, as well as the things we were being challenged on that day, serving, belonging, changing, feelings, helping, persisting, ect.
I hope that this is a practice that I will continue, to reflect on my days, to really see what God is doing and has done, to be able to grow, to praise God, to thank HIM for Who He is, for what He has done and is doing.
Today, I'm thankful for this journal, for a guide to bring me through some thoughts and feelings and help process !
