It was in those journaling moments that I began to write myself gentle reminders when situations, emotions, and times became too much. These gentle reminders helped me get through my days with a little more ease and anchoring. They continue to bless me even now when life gets hectic and I need to be brought back to the truth. My hope is that with these encouraging words and quick reflections you too can be gently reminded to turn back to the Lord in your times of distress. With love, grace, and peace...enjoy. SELAH.
