Hi! I love journals you showed, and I especially enjoy the fact that they are mostly not that expensive. Many other blogs sports those pricy journals - I've once seen a video where blogger bought at least 10 awesome Disney journals of limited edition, and I can't imagine how much they costed. It nice to look at them but it's not relatable(?) I hope I won't sound intrusive, but I don't exactly understand what is prayer journal. Do you write your own prayers or copy them from some others sources?
@itsabelletime5 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching :) I am lucky I’ve got good thrift stores around. Also you don’t sound intrusive… good question! Most of the time, my prayer journaling is stream of consciousness writing specifically directed toward God. Sometimes it may be gratitude, sometimes I may be feeling sad or angry or anxious and takes those feelings to Him because that’s the best way to address them… sometimes I make pros and cons lists when I’m making decisions… in the one I showed I took notes on a book I was reading at the time… so it’s basically writing intentionally to or for the purpose of knowing God better. Hope that helps!

Thank you for making this nice video. I am currently in a huge journal slump, I am not even in for making my monthly flip through. So I find a journal collection video somewhat inspiring. And relaxing. May I ask what the point of a prayer journal is and how it is being used? And can it potentially be used for pagan prayers as well? Greeting from a Ravenclaw. Have a nice day! 😀
@itsabelletime10 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching and commenting! I hope you’re not guilting yourself for your journal slump; there are different seasons in nature and our life and our hobbies, so we’re not gonna be journaling all the time. I prayer journal essentially to talk to God… because if I only did so in my head I’d never really think the things through that I need to. Sometimes I just tell God what’s happening in my life or I ask Him questions or I make pros and cons list in decision making and ask for His guidance. Sometimes I journal in gratitude. Recently for Lent I’ve been answering a prompt a day. That’s how I use one, but like any journal there’s not really rules, so you could use it for pagan prayer but I don’t know what that would look like for you because it would kind of be up to you.
@paperwormscat976010 ай бұрын
@@itsabelletime Thank you for your answer. I do spiritual mediumship and I have many dreams of angels and such, but I never thought of writing my prayers down in any shape or form, except if it was some kind of invocation to an entity such as a pagan god, in order to re-use it in another ritual. So the topic intrigued me. I was recently thinking of building an altar space or shrine for God in my house. Most people have figurines of Jesus, the holy Mary and Angels, but I never saw a shrine for God himself, as an entity, in someone's home. I wonder how it would look like. :)

Definitely go back and finish your summer journal.... the past memories can be in boxes labeled for the year and then you can go and journal in those when you feel like it and you have free time... you can also record your voice speaking about the memory boxes and be inspired from there when you listen in your free time. You can also do a journal just for past memories and have fun with it and pace yourself... go slow or as fast as you wish... take a break when you need to.... take pictures that sum up the feeling for the current days so things dont build up if you dont want them to. Make your own rules and break the ones you dont like.... art has no rules... life is art.

I have a question for everybody who all goes to thrift stores like St Vincent de Paul or Goodwill? Did you know that people give away writing stuff like cool writing paper to write on or journals that are partially used or sometimes even journals that are really not used with all blank pages and people also donate pens and other writing paper and notebooks and journals? So what do you guys think about using journals and notebooks and other line paper and other writing material from a thrift store? It's not that expensive so that's one way to save money and save the writing stuff from going to the dump because I know that dumpst are starting to run out of room so I guess it's a way of like recycling if you think about it that way. The thing is if you get journals and notebooks from thrift stores you should at least take out the pages that are used and recycle those so that way you could fill it up with all your own things. It is fine going to thrift stores and hunting for writing things and sometimes you may find some other cool things to that you want to buy and thrift stores also have other things that you might like to add to a journal too. I love going to thrift stores and hunting for journaling things are things that are just writing related also if you check out the book section you may find some different books on different types of journals that you can use and these ones are like guided journals in a way so they give you ideas on what to do in those books and it's fun. So I would like to know how many people would use writing material from a thrift store? I don't see nothing wrong with using things that you find in a thrift store have fun craft things to do. Have fun searching for your writing things at thrift stores because when I go I have fun finding different items for writing and I see nothing wrong with it. What do you guys all think about getting writing materials and any kind of crafts items at a thrift store? Going to thrift stores what's saving money and you'll have fun hunting for those things. I really recommend that a lot of people do this to save the planet and so we don't have so much waste in the landfills. Also I think it's a good way of recycling if more people could look at it like that it's perfect for everyone. I suggest that people do a lot more shopping at thrift stores to find things to use for crafts are no books and journals. The Hunt is fun in a thrift store for all these different things.

So now I just have a whole shelf in that bookcase dedicated to them! I'm really happy with my new storage system because it's so much easier to see them/get to them, and they're on/in something much sturdier now too.

For the spiral notebook, why don't you remove the rest of the pages? you can even save them and put them on a separate spiral!!

@ketchup01611 ай бұрын
Personally, I would remove the empty pages from your camp journal and let it be complete as it is. Or glue in the last few bits of "stuff" but don't worry about writing a long entry about it. Otherwise it will get pretty chunky if you try to use it again for another summer, and I like the feeling of a fresh new notebook too much, lol. Since it's spiral bound it's easy to just tear the pages out and it won't feel unfinished anymore. I think the way you used your last journal is the easiest to keep up with and not fall behind. When you have time or want to write a long entry, do that, but if you don't have time just glue the ephemera in with a date or short note. Or if you dislike that, you could even have one journal for ephemera like a smash book and another for writing. I don't really use my journals for lots of writing so my advice might not be right for you, but I know if I fall behind I will never go back no matter how much I tell myself I will, lol, that journal will just be half empty forever. Which is okay! But I like keeping all the tickets and wrappers etc. Like someone else commented, that can still bring back lots of memories, or even if it doesn't, someday in 20+ years it will still be fun to look at even if you don't remember every detail about it. Thanks for sharing!

thanks for such a thoughtful comment! I think in looking back at how I "failed" to keep up with my ephemera I don't notice as much how I did, for about half the year!

I think I am just gonna start doing more popping stuff in, even if I don't write about the memory :) thanks for your suggestions
