by Barbara Darby (Author)
Conversations with God from the Book of Matthew is a compilation of selected personal devotional writings from among many I have written since 1993. Prompted initially by an article I read about daily expressing at least three things for which I was grateful, I decided to add this focus to my daily devotional readings by journaling.
The blessing of it all is that it has led to the discipline of spending time reading God's word, speaking and listening to God, and reflecting on God's grace, goodness and activity in my life. I am strengthened, filled with hope and joy as I navigate the highs and lows and the in-betweens of my life. My prayer is that you will be led to be more intentional about spending time with your Creator, God. Develop your own habit of devotional journaling and once you experience the blessing of a closer walk with God, share it with others as I am doing.Barbara Dr. Barbara Ann Darby retired as president of the North Campus and the Nassau Center of Florida State College at Jacksonville in July 2015.
