Prayer Journaling is so encouraging!

My sweet Mama taught me to keep a prayer journal a few years ago when I was having some trying times. She encouraged me that it would only help my relationship with the Lord and if I would try to keep it up, it would become an ongoing delight to keep it up.  Well, part of this journal is to go back and write in dates prayers were answered or updates to situations or questions/comments/and other documentation about a prayer request.  I don't write down EVERY SINGLE prayer I pray, just ones that strike me as a goal in life or a struggle to overcome or something that I need to improve on with my spiritual walk.  If you have not started one, I encourage you to do so today and don't make it a HUGE thing that you want to commit to writing in it daily or even weekly, just as often as you have something really touch your heart and then it's easier to stick with it!

All this to preface an absolute ANSWER to prayer for me this week!!! I am so unbelievably thankful and to many it may not seem like much, but because I know the things that have been prayed for around this request, the trials that have been on this path and the hurdles I have overcome in strengthening my relationship with Jesus AND my husband...I PRAISE God for answered prayer.  My husband and I just began attending a Bible Study TOGETHER and what a precious relief for both of us.  It's so wonderful to hear how only the first night worked on both our hearts and that the Lord's timing was PERFECT for both of us to finally join together in this precious journey.  Proverbs 31:12
