Do you keep a journal?  Would you like to? Do you have a journaling Bible but don't always know what to write in those margins? Many Christians describe journaling as a way to connect with God. Journaling helps us to persevere in the journey we're on with Christ and it also helps us to open up to God. It helps us to be more honest with God and with ourselves and see the ways in which His Spirit is producing growth over time. Come and join the team at The Hub Belfast as we explore a really practical session on journaling.  We'll share thoughts on why journaling is a good thing and also give plenty of space, time, and helpful prompts for you to try some journaling yourself.
