I will often tell clients to journal because sometimes when you are feeling something or thinking something, it is very valuable to capture that thought and moment of inspiration. Once it passes, you may never get it back. Most of the greatest minds in history kept some sort of journal, to capture their ideas and develop them.
It often happens in silence. When all the kids have gone to bed, the phone isn't buzzing and the television isn't on, your mind can actually get a chance to really reflect. This is where growth can actually happen... if you let it. So as person who believes with all his heart that prayers are answered, I face life's challenges with full conviction that there is power in prayer and that prayer can indeed change our lives. So when an event happens, and I know that there are many people (many very good people) praying for the same thing, it only makes sense that things would swing in the positive direction. And when it doesn't, I get frustrated and scared, and question, "why?"
Then I answer myself with the fact that things are happening exactly how they were intended to and, just like we sometimes tell our children, "you don't need to know why" because they wouldn't understand, I need to just keep praying... and maybe I'll never understand "why?" After all, why not? Who am I to say how life is "supposed to" go? After all it is happening exactly how it should, just not according to my definition. I don't like it. God give us patience.
