Have you ever tried to start keeping a diary or a journal? Every spiritual disciplines book I have ever read has stressed the importance of "journalling" (that's one of those words... who took that noun and said it could become a verb?! "Journalling" doesn't really offend me... but the word "dialoguing"? Oh brother... I admittedly say stuff like that trying to be quirky, but once it becomes commonplace, or worse... "Christianese"... blah! Maybe it just bugs me when it's used super casually? Like, "Well Bob, that's an interesting question. Why don't we get together and dialogue about that over coffee?" Okay, rant over.)
ANYWAY! I totally see the value in keeping a journal. Not only because writing down your thoughts and prayers is a good way to make them "stick", so they kind of jump off the paper and hit you in a new way, but also because you can go back and see what you wrote and realize how God answered your prayers. So let's try it together! We can do it this time!!
NOTE: The term "dialoguing" is apparently an accepted form of the word in Webster's Dictionary... but I still don't like it.
