I am a journal person but the added feature in the last two years during these covid times, there are pages of prayer too! So now I have a prayer journal too.

God so well nurtured the road into my life that I implemented and learned from a stranger turn friend who shares the same name 'George'. Now I maintain a prayer journal.
