Journal | Jan. 15, ‘26 | Your Word

In 2024, I read the One Year Bible. In 2025, I read the One Year Chronological Bible. Reading straight through from Genesis to Revelations was good in a year, but so much depth was passed over.

So in 2026, I am allowing myself to dwell on Your Word. Though I am in Your Word daily, I’ve only managed to complete Genesis 1:1 to 1:3 — 3 verses in 15 days. Oh, but what mighty verses they are!

Journal | Jan. 14, ‘26 | Dear Jeshua…

Dearest Jeshua, my confidant, my friend and constant companion. I think of You everyday. I speak with You everyday. Was it like that when I was young?

You know I’ve followed you for years, with many ups and downs, joys and regrets, in faithfulness and in wrongdoing. Thank you always for your mercy & grace.

I must admit, I don’t recall coming to You everyday in my early years. However, as I age, I guess, I have less and less to cloud my mind, and less and less to keep me eternally busy. So I seek You often.

When I started this blog, it was with the idea of putting some of my thoughts on “paper.” Well, I like the idea of writing old-school, but I weary of erasing and re-writing. So a journal blog seemed best.
However, I fell into trying to fully explain myself and the endless exposition took me forever to complete.

I recently received a charge from WordPress, and in reviewing I haven’t posted anything since 2023! As You know, my workload skyrocketed at that time, which seemed to me around the clock. Now that that chapter is closing, here I am again wanting to put my thoughts on “paper.”

Right before I got bombarded with work, I was almost done with another long article. I guess I’ll call it an article. Maybe I can find it, clean it up, and post it. I was certainly excited about it at the time.
You know all things. You desire a relationship with us. Thank You always that I can speak with You and explain things that You already know.

Well, I can only write to You as I sit. The days’ work is calling me, so I must sign off. Thankfully, you are ever present and a thought and prayer away.

Your loving daughter,

Karen
