I called it my \u2018thank you\u2019 journal, and I carried it everywhere I went, documenting throughout my day what I was thankful for. It was so key in my life. I believe that when we can stop and thank our Creator (especially in challenging seasons) <span class=\"text_exposed_show\">for the little things throughout our day that we are thankful for, some little things that are actually a luxury to the rest of the world, that is when we shift our focus from yourselves to others, to the rest of the world living in poverty and worst of all, without the knowledge of their Savior Jesus. I believe in times of stress, anxiety and fear, that THANKFULNESS changes everything. It shifts our focus and our perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\">\n<p>\u201cRejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God\u2019s will for you in Christ Jesus.\u201d<br \/>\n\u202d\u202d(1 Thessalonians\u202c \u202d5:16-18\u202c)<\/p>\n<p>I recently started these journals again. It\u2019s a great place to begin training your mind to focus on the positives, not the negatives. The truths over the lies.

God is so faithful to us, and I\u2019m leaning on that promise today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While in college, I started keeping journals specifically for documenting things that I was thankful for each day.
