This journal was birth out of joy, pain, and loneliness. Even though there maybe people all around there are some journeys we must take alone, no one knows or understands, nor can they feel the pain that we go through. To release pain, we can write what we feel, when we go through the desert experience of life, knowing we can stand on the history and the promises of his word, God's word can keep us. Testimonies of what others have gone through can give us hope that we can make it if we persevere. When we look back and read what we have written, we see the journey we have taken, and how great the God is that we serve. Then there is joy, and we are reminded that we can trust Him with our lives. God is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy and remind us to stay focus on his will and the journey he has prepared for us.
