Would you like to increase your awareness of God’s presence in your life?

One of the most helpful ways to increase our awareness of God’s presence with us is to write about our spiritual journeys and to share insights gained from that practice with our companions on the way.  You are invited to begin the new year in a weekly gathering of a small group of fellow travelers.  Each week, writing prompts and examples from spiritual autobiographies will inspire your journal writing for the week ahead.

Do I have to share? What if I don’t like to write or I don’t feel confident in my writing skills?

The writing is personal and free form, helping us to pay attention and consciously record “what God is doing and has done in and through our lives.”  (Quoting Mary Lou Redding from the introduction to her book God Was with Me All Along: A Guide for Capturing Your Memories and Telling Your Story.) Share only what you want to share. We will not correct your writing style.
