Recently, the Father said to me,
There will always be external chaos. Such is the fallen world. But you must maintain your place of internal Shalom, for revelation and creativity flow from that place. Years ago, you learned that “peace is the potting soil for revelation.” And you have learned that it is the potting soil for creativity, too. When you allow external chaos to become internal chaos, the flow of revelation and creativity is blocked – not because I ceased pouring it out, but because your receptors have “static on the line.” So stay here until My peace becomes your peace, until our heartbeats are entrained and our breathing aligned. Then, heaven will flow into and through you. Then, My words will become your words and My thoughts your thoughts.
This was one of those times when the hurry and chaos surrounding me was making it difficult to discern God’s voice and feel His presence. Yet, when I sat down and put pen to paper… the answers (and His glorious presence) came. I do have a digital journal for when encounters come quickly. But there’s just something about good, old-fashioned writing and the tangibility of pen and paper that helps to enhance focus and helps the mind not to wander. The act of handwriting itself has been known to bring balance and clarity by increasing neural activity in portions of the brain, similar to meditation. And that’s just what it does in the natural realm alone, not even taking into consideration the revelation Holy Spirit pours out upon those pages.
Because I love journalling so much, I have just finished improving the Miracles Are Normal journal. For me, it’s all about atmosphere and beauty. And I think you will see that the new and improved journal provides a very beautiful space to share your thoughts and your heart with Him. It’s still a 6×9 hard cover, with lots of space for writing and with life-changing quotes from Miracles Are Normal on every page. Now, it’s just much, much more beautiful.
You can order the new Miracles Are Normal writing journal on my website HERE and on Amazon HERE. If you order on Amazon, only the hard cover will be available. On my website, you can order either the hard cover or a downloadable PDF that you can print to create your own writing journal.
I still have a few of the old ones left, so I’m giving them away FREE – 1 free journal with every hard copy product purchased on www.virginiakillingsworth.com, while supplies last. Even the old ones make a great gift.
Shalom, my friend,
