When I feel like God is putting a bunch of puzzle pieces in the table and they begin to fall into place but I can’t quite make out the image, I’ll journal and it will bring it into focus. ♥️ This has always been so helpful. It is so affirming to hear your experience with putting things down on paper has been so similar to mine.
A couple years ago I said to my grief therapist that I felt like I never got anything done. She suggested I keep a daily written account of things I get done in a day so that I can go back and look at them and see how much I accomplished. I have been doing that every day, along with journaling quite often. In my daily running account of accomplishments, I will occasionally write a profound and meaningful quote or phrase, and today I wrote, “Don’t hold onto my thoughts and feelings; instead process them with God.” ~ Ryan Huguley. ❤️❤️
Hey PJ, I’m so thankful for your ongoing encouragement. This comment is yet another example of just that. Such wisdom from your therapist on this. Grateful for you and thanks for taking time to engage!
As a writer, I have always found journaling to be a valuable tool emotionally and spiritually. I love how the integration of neuroscience and theology come together in making Immanuel Journaling a valuable tool as well. I don't know if you're familiar with this, but if not, it's a useful way to process things incorporating brain science and expressing interactive gratitude, which turns on our relational circuits, making it easier to relate to God, others and even to ourselves. We build joy capacity as we connect with the Lord, and this journaling is one way to deepen our secure attachment with God.
Oh good! I’m so glad. This is probably the greasiest service that journaling provides me. Thoughts swirl when left in my head and rarely accomplish anything good.

I have done some Immanuel journaling and it has been hugely beneficial to me!
Awesome. I love it too. My friend and I taught Immanuel approach to counselors in China and I use that and Life Model often with clients.
I love that!
This is so timely and so needed for me, today. Thanks, Ryan.
