Journal #2

Journal number two is under way! Hopefully, since I gave you guys a week, you have written your first journal entry. I would absolutely love to read some of them, and I'm sure the other followers would too! Please leave an excerpt of them in the comment box. :)

I hope that you guys enjoyed journaling about the person, or people, that inspire you. And I hope too that you enjoyed reading my little excerpt. Most importantly of ALL!!!!!! Your personalized journals! Did you have fun? Does it totally express you? The making of the journal was the part that I am the most excited about hearing, or seeing, feedback from.

So just like last week, you have one week, give or take a little, to write this new topic. It's going to be exactly the same, the way that you do it, not the topic! LOL Are you ready for your topic? Okay, your new topic is.............

Twenty years from now, who will you be? What do you think has impacted you to become that person? And why do you think you will be that way?

If this week's topic is a little confusing, don't worry! Clarification: In you near future, twenty years to be exact, who do think you will be? The same as you are now? A completely different person? Why have you become who you think you will be? Who has helped mold you to be the person you think you are becoming?

So get writing! Don't forget, be creative! And please, leave an excerpt or a picture in the comments! I would absolutely love to see what you are doing! :)

Journal # 1

Question number one:
Who is the most influential person in your life? Why? And how have they impacted you?

As I said in my last post, the most influential people in my life are my three best friends, Lexie, Karena, and Caity. These three girls the best friends I could have ever asked for. All of them go to my youth group, Lexie and Karena are in my home school group, and we all do a weekly small group/bible study together.
All of them are absolutely gorgeous! And I don't just say that because they're my friends. Seriously, they could all be models! :)
Lexie is my little short friend. She is short but full of life! We both share the same passion for music, life, and God. She is a really good positive influence and pushes me to do my best.
Karena is so sweet! She always tells her real opinion but as sweetly as possible. Karena loves God with all of her heart and also shares the same passion of music with me and Lexie. Karena is a model of the Bible verse that says to turn the other cheek when someone wrongs you. She is the epitome of love and patience.
Caity just moved here in August. She is the bestest friend that I could have ever asked for! She's crazy, hyper, and is always willing to help. She loves to dance and just have fun. Caity has helped me to break out of the box and just be me, without caring what other people think or say out me.
Most of all, I know that these three girls will always be by my side. They love me like I'm their sister and I love them like they are my sisters too. We will be with each other through think and thin.

So there is my excerpt of journal one! Ya see, that wasn't so bad! Leave comments full of your examples please!!! Thanks y'all!!!!

Journaling Dare

One of my best friends is taking a class called Habitudes. A class that hones in on your habits and attitudes. I took it for three years and have definitely learned much from it. Right now they are doing this really cool Journal exercise and I thought that just maybe you guys would like to try it out.
Well, not maybe. I'm actually daring you do to this.

I remember back when I was between the ages of six and ten, the "cool" thing to do was give dares. And the worst of all dares was " I triple dog dare you to..." When a kid said that you had to do it, or get ridiculed. Anyways, the point is that I triple dog dare you to journal with me. It's not going to be hard. Only one topic a week. And it starts today.

This weeks topic is: Who is the most influential person in your life? Why? And how have they impacted you?

You have one week to journal about this idea. For me, I think the most influential person in my life is probably my three best friends. Lexie, Caity, and Karena. They are the three sweetest and most gorgeous girls ever. And they love God with all of there heart. I don't know where I would be without them. <3

So here's what I want you to do. Get a journal. A random notebook sitting in your room, your diary, or go out and buy a new one. Better yet, customize it! Use stickers, paint, glue, cutouts, get creative! Let your imagination soar! Don't be embarrassed, no one else is going to look at it unless you show them.

Take this idea and explode! You don't have to journal about one person, choose more then one, or just one. Answer these questions, but answer more. Let the words flow from your heart. You don't have to write just one entry, write two, or three, or four! Let this become all about you. Personalize everything. But most importantly, just have fun!

I would very much appreciate it if you could leave a comment. Just say what you journaled about, who, or why. Or even leave an excerpt of your journaling entries. I'm going to. Keep checking to see my entries and others. Make sure to come back next week for our new topic!!
