As we read God's words, we begin to see how God responds to things. Doing daily devotions re-patterns the way we think and transforms the spirit of the mind. Then when we face similar situations as Jesus did, we begin to respond in the same way. Journaling is an excellent way to both record and process what God has spoken to us. It's also a useful tool to use at a later time, to reflect on and review some of the 'gems' that you have received. Without writing them down, you may forget those blessings and some very important lessons! And while journaling is a very personal time with the Lord, you may want to share some of your daily journaling with your small group or mentors. Through discussion, you may be able to look deeper into what God is speaking to you, gain new insight and even encourage others. When Should I Journal? It is a good idea to set aside a certain time in your schedule each day and find a quiet place where you won't be distracted.

It's not important when you do your devotions, but that you make it a very important part of your day. For morning people, it's a great way to start your day. For others, it's 20-minute lunchtime appointments with Jesus. For the night owls, it's the final act of the day, the time to quiet their hearts and hear God's voice. www.enewhope.org

I grew up in Sandy UT, about 30 minutes from some of the best ski resorts. Too bad I don't ski.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DESSERT? Chocolate WHAT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT FOR THIS YEAR IN M2M? Fellowship and the food :) IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD ON A FREE VACATION WHERE WOULD IT BE? I want to visit all the National Park's in my life time, so probably Denali National Park & Preserve in Alaska. It's the furthest and the coldest, better to get that done while I'm younger.
WHAT DOES THE M2M HOSPITALITY COORDINATOR DO? Hospitality coordinator helps coordinate set up of food and tables, as well as clean up. Set up happens on Monday night's, thank goodness!
