on prayer

I journaled in a real paper journal yesterday morning for the first time in a year... I used to write in a paper journal all the time, and then my mom died and I lost my will to write anything down... and then as that passed, I'd mostly transitioned to this online form of journaling. When life gets busy, any form of journaling is the first thing to go I think... and often with that, my prayer life. My prayer life has gotten pretty scattered over the past few months anyway. So anyway, I sat on my porch for a good while yesterday and journaled and prayed and reflected. I felt calm and introspective afterwards... I miss that calm that comes from sitting at the feet of God and just conversing. Clearly i need to make that more of a priority.
