One of the great resources of our Wesleyan heritage is John Wesley's journal which includes Wesley's day to day entries. It's a wonderful gift to be able to read what Wesley experienced on a given day during his ministry in the 1700's.
This Sunday, I'll be sharing several of his journal entries to make the point that there are many challenges in ministry. Thankfully, there are also many joys that accompany our walk with Christ.
Journaling/writing is a spiritual discipline that can help us receive God's grace as we reflect on our day to day activities in the context of our faith. One of the reasons I started my Nikos blog four years ago was to use it as kind of a personal faith journal. It also serves as a communication tool of church events so it has a dual role.
There are several ways to have access to Wesley's journal which include a hard copy for purchase and a website that has daily his daily entries corresponding to our present date. This website is also available through facebook. If you have an account through facebook (it's free!) just type in "John Wesley Journal" in the search and the daily journal entries will appear everyday.
