What's in a word?
The power of words is astounding. There are some words I loathe listening to, some I like listening to, some I love listening to, and some I long to listen to again. Some words are binding, some are frivolous, and some are laughable……but alas they all have meaning. …..but it’s written words I love the most. From love letters on little scrolls and contracts to*real* mail in my mailbox and tiny notes on yellow post-its….I love them all. …...but journaling may be my favorite. My journals are a beautiful review of yesterday’s thoughts in the world one must in live today. ….there are times I wonder *why* am where I am, but to be able to see God’s hand placing me exactly where I am today through the pages of yesterday and yesteryear’s journals is amazing. My own words on paper, written thoughtfully and with conviction in moments of clarity often answer that *why.* They help me to recognize God’s infallibility and remain courageous in the midst of adversity. Sure things change, even written words, regardless of how *binding* they seem, are often broken…..but that’s the fallibility of mankind….it’s free choice at its finest….and it’s part of the beauty we reserve as human beings.
