Journaling

The other night we caught Lady Bug awake at 11:00 PM! She was just sitting on her bed writing in her journal (how sweet is that at 7 years old??!!) We asked her to put it away and go to sleep. Never thinking much of it because she loves to write and is always looking for opportunities to write a story or journal something!

Last night we had parent teacher conferences and the teachers were talking about her awesome writing skills and I told them that story of her staying up late. When we got home from the conference she brought me her journal and said "read this mom, this is what I wrote that night I stayed up late."

The image won't attach correctly so I will just write in here what she wrote (her typos included just as she jotted them in her journal):

I am the one who will praise God every day! I am the one that will do 

what my teachers and parents say the first time! I am the one who will read the Bible 

everi day. I am the one who will not spell and say bad words! 

I am the one who will preech about God! I will be 

like Martin Luther King when I grow up!

I was so touched and moved by this! I brought her journal with me so that I could copy that page and save it in her "box" (you know the BOX of cute stuff to save for the kiddos!) and I am so moved every time I read this!
