Journal Your Journey: from Existing to Living

By Candace Michelle

Journal Your Journey is not just any journal…it is a chronicle of the journey from existing to living! It is simply a tool for motivating the reader to take to the first steps into a life-long and life-changing leap into living an abundant life. It challenges the individual to scripturally audit and to give account for a life not lived fully! Finally, it is purposed to apply biblical-based principles to help recognize life-impairment issues, identification of root causes connecting these issues and how to prayerfully receive insight to overcome them once and for all…making the choice to move from existing to living.

Candace Michelle

Candace Michelle is a certified life coach, published writer, and speaker. She has passionately sustained a 17+ year career and continues to serve as Kingdom voice in the marketplace and in the Body of Messiah! Her experience as a ghost-writer, blogger and magazine contributor has empowered her to complete this book, “Journal Your Journey”. Candace Michelle uses her own experiences of “trial to triumph” to help others push passed their failures to successfully identify their own God-given gifts and life’s purpose. While coaching and consulting with clients, she realized that her clients were often just living to work and not working to live. Thus, she further concluded through her research that most professionals and even ministry leaders were trapped in checking the boxes of life in order to achieve their goals. However, these goals often left her clients stuck; stuck in a box of pseudo success and maintaining unfulfilled lives. With this revelation in mind, Candace Michelle accepted her Kingdom mandate to encourage those who need to move from existing to living.

Journal Your Journey is not just any journal, but rather a chronicle of a journey from existing to living! It is ultimately a tool for motivating the reader to launch into a life-long and life-changing leap into living an abundant life. It challenges the individual to scripturally audit and to give account for a life not lived fully! Finally, it is purposed to apply biblical-based principles to help recognize life-impairment issues, identification of root causes connecting these issues and how to prayerfully receive insight to overcome them once and for all; making a choice to move from existing to living.

INTRODUCTION:

THE JOURNEY BEGINS …

FROM EXISTING TO LIVING

Welcome to the first day of your NEW life! It is my prayer that the WORDS captured within this text will inspire you to begin again. Whether you are experiencing burnout or fatigue, or you are suffering from the shin splints of life, I believe this book was custom designed with you in mind!!!

Journeys often begin with one step toward a goal or destination. Before you start this journey into self-discovery, please prayerfully consider your commitment. Not to me, the author of this book, but the Original Author. The Author and Finisher of your Faith! Please pray with me now!

Father, we are coming to You in the name of Yeshua (Jesus) to ask that Your perfect Will is done on earth and through us your earthen vessels. Let us be found seeking Your face as we journal our journey with You. We are asking for an outpouring and a refreshing and refilling of Your Holy Spirit to engulf us and the lives You have given us to steward. Please, Father, allow Holy Spirit to come now and remain with us during every step and every page of this book. Now, we thank You, Yahweh our Elohim, for being our Lord, and our Creator! We know that we were created in Your image and Your likeness according to Your Holy Word. So, it is the name of Yeshua (Jesus) that we ask You restore our lives to fully embody who You first called us to be. Let us not be weary in our well-doing but let us finish this race and let us journal this journey with You… knowing we move from existing to living!!

In Yeshua Ha’Mashiach (Jesus the Messiah’s) name we pray! Amen!

SCRIPTURE FOR THE SCRIBE

¹⁰ THE THIEF DOES NOT COME EXCEPT TO STEAL, AND TO KILL, AND TO DESTROY. I HAVE COME THAT THEY MAY HAVE LIFE, AND THAT THEY MAY HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY.

John 10:10

NEW KING JAMES VERSION (NKJV)

44009.png

Words are given by the WORD (John 1:1)! It is in this passage that Yeshua (Jesus) is referencing Himself as a Door and a Good Shepherd! He is saying to us He laid down His Life that we would live our lives in MORE abundance. We are gifted, as Believers, to live again through our faith in Yeshua’s (Jesus’) death, burial, and resurrection! So, why aren’t we living an abundant life? What or whom is stealing, slaughtering, and destroying our option to live an overflowing, beyond measure, and an extraordinary life?

The purpose of this book is to take a journey of our personal account before our Father. To Journal Your Journey means that we are to address the ISSUE(s) we may be facing, IDENTIFY the root cause, and receive INSIGHT on how to walk in the fullness of Life without bondages and hindrances as revealed by Holy Spirit!

Wise Tracks are quotes given to make us reflect and meditate on what the WORD of Yahweh is saying to us on our journey! We are walking with faith to work out our salvation with fear and trembling (Phil 2:12). Let’s journey onward and live beyond what can be measured!!!

JOURNAL YOUR JOURNEY

We are off on our Journey now! With that in mind, we are on a journey, but we are not endeavoring or sojourning by ourselves. Holy Spirit is our track coach, our personal trainer and our workout application! Our own goal for this journey is to move in Yeshua (Jesus), and that requires us to move at His pace for our lives (Acts 17:28).

This journey is a lifelong one. It’s one that goes beyond our time here… we are embarking upon a journey into eternity! So, we must first be able to accept this simple fact. We are not sprinting toward eternity, but we are embarking and preparing to run a marathon. The RACE is NOT to the SWIFT (Ecclesiastes 9:11) – we are running a marathon! Our pace is enduring into Eternity!!!!

Revisit personal prophetic utterances you received that have not manifested. Patiently await the manifestation of the released WORD. Remember Mary received a prophetic Word that she would deliver a son (who would be her Deliverer) and that WORD took months to come to pass …
