Your journal is a place where you can document your journey with God, His Word and the world around you. Journaling records your life’s adventure and your personal growth as a Christian. One way to journal is by following the GROWth journal model. 

God's Word | Write it down!
Not only does writing out the scripture - word for word - help me apply God’s instructions in my existing situation but, it also helps me take the truth to heart and learn it for a lifetime.

Reflecting | Take it in!
What stands out to me?  What is God revealing in this verse?  Who am I in this story?  Stopping to reflect gives God the chance to speak more clearly. Writing down my thoughts helps me express how His Word meets my circumstance.

Offering | Give it up!
Writing out personal prayer has immense benefits because it requires me to think through what I am trying to say to God. Rather than just speak and forget what I was asking, I can look back and see how He has answered me.

Walking | Live it out!
How can I apply what I've read?  What part of my life should change?  How can this transform my current situation?

thinking | consider it now!
How will I be different today because of what I've read and written?
