Introduction

I am passionate about keeping a Journal and when I travel I essentially have to have 2 things in my luggage; my Bible and my Journal. I cannot express enough the value of keeping up the practice of documenting everything about a journey through life with God.

Leonardo Da Vinci similarly scribbled his own nuggets onto paper and his contributions to Science and Engineering as well as endless aesthetic pleasures have been enjoyed and celebrated by countless people. These same documents are now worth millions.

Ann Frank kept an account of her tests and trials in a Diary which gave us a window into a world we may otherwise never have seen into.

The main sources of the Bible Verses are from the King James Version unless I have stated otherwise.

I want this book to inspire and ignite a passion to dig deeper into God, to know Him and His ways more intimately and to end up with a testimony.
