In his email to me dated December 15, Dr. Bruce Cook wrote “Be expecting a powerful surprise this week. Just remember, in business it’s not always about whether you know someone. Often it Is about value that was created, or trust that leads to action.” Yesterday (December 16), I received a special gift in the mail from Bruce – Sacred Time, Sacred Place: A Journal – by Patricia King. This morning after listening to my entire scheduled playlist for Day #17 on my iPod in bed, I came to my “Sacred Place” to journal using this gift from Bruce. Wow! What transpired was amazing. This is a GAMECHANGER in my life.

The Story Behind The Story is THE KEY to successful and highly prolific webinars. Everyone has a story. According to the TMCJ flash header, “Every person … every family … every community… every culture… every nation … needs THE STORY.” People can argue with your doctrine. People can argue with your religion and personal views. But no one can argue with your story.

I have experienced and continue to experience so much fruit from journaling that I could easily write a new book every month sharing God stories related to that. But let me share just a few concrete examples here. #1) COVENANT RELATIONSHIP – AUTHENTICITY

I AM your shepherd; you shall not want. I AM the rod that chastises and brings you comfort. I AM in the dessert wilderness to be tender with you. I AM near to those who have a broken heart. I AM the candle lighting your path.

Randy, I came in grace and truth. The Law by itself is too harsh. Remember to extend the same grace I extend to you to others. Be patient with them. You have many good habits and some bad ones. Most people struggle more than you. Love them where they are at. Remember what Bob said today – how he is changing lives by manifesting My love – unconditional love.

Come experience the excitement of our vibrant, online, world-wide community (TRIBE) that is changing lives to disciple nations. During this life-changing, world-changing webinar, we shared what I consider to be my biggest God story for the past 7 years – “The $14,400 Miracles.”

For the first 42 years of my life, I had religion, but not a personal, intimate, loving relationship with Jesus. That all changed when I met Rev. Mark Jarvis in June 2000. Four amazing things happened in my life on that single day in June 2000 when I met Mark Jarvis.

A fourth reason to journal is it helps keep your priorities in order. Journaling helps keep FIRST THINGS FIRST. Each of us has a jar of life filled with stuff, including big rocks (representing the important things), gravel (representing less important things), sand, and water. But if we don’t put the big rocks in first, then either they won’t fit in or when they go in they make a big mess.
