Hello everyone I hope you are doing well. Recently I was working on a project which required a great deal of writing and I thought it would be good to share a couple things I do that help me creatively and also organize my writing.
When writing I tend to have very creative bouts of writing (messy) and I try to write as thoughts, ideas and topics come. Sort of a brain dump but more specifically my goal is to write a word, phrase or sentence that when I come back to it I can pull that thought or picture in my head back up.
Similar to bullet journaling I will take those writings and separate them into sections and most go in my planner but there are some that go into a larger type planner.
But the initial writing may take more than one notebook and planner because I’ve found my brain will take off and many thoughts will come and they don’t seem to come sectioned but rather as an entire grouping. So the last thing that’s become very important is I have a master file on my iPad that keeps the bigger list. It’s in my planner but thoughts that come may not be neatly organized. Later though I add them in my permanent file on my IPad so I can order and organize it there. This helps me tremendously!
I want to encourage you to write- write your thoughts, ideas, projects, lists, notes, reminders…. I know I use my phone a great deal for scheduling but this is something that you’ll see and that’s a good thing!
Habakkuk 2:2 says write it down, write the vision, make it plain and easy to understand and then run with it!
I am a wife, mother, grandmother and a Christ Follower 100%. Being brought up in an incredible home with parents who loved God, and a father who memorized thousands of scriptures (photographic memory!) I was taught at an early age to know and love the Bible. Growing up I learned at a young age how to hear God's voice, memorize scriptures, mark my Bible (now Bible journaling) and to have a strong walk with Jesus Christ.
I have a passion to see women empowered and strengthened, with an unshakeable faith and walk with Jesus Christ. Creating a simple system (Good Words + Good Plans + Good days) to use in a Bible journal, planner or notebook, I believe we start our days first Seeking First our Savior. While making the necessary daily plans write a scripture promise, good word, motivational words at the top of your to do list. Proverbs 4:20-22 says the Word of God will lead, guide and help you. I think that it is imperative to keep that before our eyes rather than letting our To Do list dictate to us what our lives will be that day. Fulfilling God's destiny and raising incredible kids about sums up my hopes and dreams for this life!
Teaching and knowing the Word of God is something I love and live to do. I too now see the power of the Word of God bring healing, restoration and completeness to peoples lives. He and my mother instilled a strong faith and desire in me to know the word of God and use it as an anchor for my every day life. It is very exciting to now teach those same principles in the next generations of our family!
