So once a week I try to have a "date" with God. I have my normal devotions but I like to have a time once a week were he and I just meet and have a special time together. These dates are always AMAZING!!! I go to different places for my dates. Anywhere from mthe park to a coffee shop. During these times I have a Journal that I write in and I just have a REAL normal conversation with God. I ask him whatever is on my mind and I write down whatever he puts on my heart to. I dont recommend reading your regular devotions in public because I find that its hard to consentrate but the dates have a totally different feel to them and I have NO problem focusing when im on them. :) It's always amazing to me to go back and read my entries and see prayers that I had that God answered. Your date Journal is all about just being 100% yourself. If you dont have a date Journal GET ONE!!!!!!! :) I thought I would post my latest one from today.
God please help me! I am living with a slight attitude of defeat. I am jsut so darn frustrated with me.For so many reasons. I feel like I keep messing up and even if I am not I am paranoid that I will. I also dont feel beautiful AT ALL today. I know you think I am but it would be nice if when I looked in mirror I looked skinny and pretty.....
WOW, I see what your telling me. look how many times ive written the word I. 12 hmm.... If you hadnt shut me up there would definately be more. I feel like you are wanting me to write down how you see me as a reminder to myself.
I am_ in Gods eyes:
Beautfiul
* God I dont really wanna write down some of these words because right now I dont really believe them. Please help me to write what you put on my heart only. and by your grace believe it.
I am _ in Gods eyes
Beautiful
Holy Set Apart
Unique
God forgive me for focusing on myself. Help me to draw near to you and focus on you.So many times I think about my own selfish ways and instead of THANKING you for what youve DONE, I COMPLAIN about what youve yet to DO. PLEASE forgive me!! I would like to take a moment to thank you for what you HAVE given me.
God thank you:
For Coffee dates with you :)

Never letting me go even when I fail time and time again.

That ONE DAY some guy WILL find me special and "worth it" to pursue. even if it's not today.
