I got a new journal so I havent been much into writing on here. My journal is so cool and i am not much of a journaler but i got this One Line A Day journal and it is so awesome. There is space to write one line a day for each day of the year for five years. I am excited this time next year to read my thoughts from today. It will be neat to see how much I have grown and to remember things from the past.  It is only one line so i don't feel intimidated by it. I know the fruit of journaling but it takes so long to write things out.  I have also started a journal writing to my future hubby. It is just prayers that I  have for him. I have always been not a fan of that and more of a fan of living in the moment but it is a good way to speak my desires for my future in a hopeful way. I know God provides for me just what I need each day, and today I do not need a boyfriend (I love living with girls sooo much) and by me writing in this book I am able to be single and love it and know that my future looks bright but so does today (not literally it was so rainy out)...

I realized today on the phone with Julie that I am not much of a giver. I bought a cheap blow dryer while my new really expensive one was in the mail (I dropped mine and it broke so I had to get a new one) and my teacher asked if she could have my cheap one and I said yes and then she asked if she could pay me for it and I said no but I really did want her to... so weird. Anyways to make a short story long I would rather give then receive and I barely feel glad when I do give, I always do it dragging my feet and clenching onto God, trusting I will get something out of it eventually.  Praying that the Lord will change that in me. I want to be a cheerful giver.

I do love giving my opinions though, if that counts for anything!!

  1. I can't wait to see your husband reading that journal! I bet it would be delightful :) And also, This really made me think because everyone is always talking about thee spiritual gifts and stuff and saying well giving isn't my spiritual gift and what not. But God does call everyone to be a cheerful giver- especially when it comes to tithing and giving to people who need it more than us. I definitely need to be better at that too!
