30 Days of Gratitude Journal | Grateful Heart FREEBIE Printable

Last year I started a new process called 30 Days of Thankfulness in my Project Life.  This year I joined in with Illustrated Faith to do 30 Days of #gratitudedocumented in a journal.  Each day we were given a prompt with a scripture and have really enjoyed reflecting on the verse and journaling about it.  It is very relaxing and rewarding.

I did choose a journal from Michael's that I can insert in my Project Life binder when done.  Because the pages are standard paper, I did have to adhere two pages together to make the paper more sturdy.
I decorated the front with fall paper and embellishments.  I love the colors of fall!

 Illustrated Faith Prompts:

My goal this year was to journal thankfulness in my own writing.  To left of my art journaling, I would write my personal thoughts.



Day 1: Jesus

 Day 2: Salvation

 Day 3: Family

Day 4: Passion

Day 5: Peace
 

Day 6: Forgiveness

Day 7: Home

Week 2:

 

Day 8: Love

Day 9: Freedom

 

Thank you so much for stopping by and joining me while I document my 30 days of gratitude.  As a thank you, I have created a journal card that you can add to your journal or bible.  It is to remind us to have a grateful heart during this Thanksgiving season. (the link is below)

Commit 30: 30 Days to make BIG changes!

Life has a tendency to jerk you around and ultimately make you chase your tail. There are times that I sit {plop} myself down and wonder where has the day gone and did I really miss something important again!!  Commit30 was created with people like us in mind!  What we all need to do is to start working towards our goals & dreams now… in small simple ways. We need to stop expecting our dreams or goals to just magically happen. With the new Commit30 planner you’ll be able to create & track everyday tasks designed to help you reach your goals.  

Yes, January 2016 is right around the corner. (Am I really saying that?!)  And what a perfect way to commit and document the resolutions (goals) that you have made.  My one word for 2016 is going to be "balance".  (I will be talking more about that another time.)  This awesome planner, when I received it in a few days, will be an amazing tool to help create balance in my life.

The #1 reason why people don’t accomplish their goals is lack of a DAILY commitment to them. The bottom line is you’ll never change your life until you change how you spend your time everyday. The secret to success is found in your daily routine.  Commit30 has already saved you time (no more searching for the perfect planner; no more time wasted wondering where to start). Start here. Right now. TODAY. No excuses. Make the next 12 months count. What are you going to commit to in 2016?

Discover New Beauty Everyday: Dinkey Creek

Life is full of ugly things, so I have decided that I am going to find something new beautiful everyday. 

I have driven Dinkey Creek Rd several times, but today we found a new meadow and at just the right time.  There is nothing like a beautiful sunset with pine trees from the sierras in the distance. 

Discover the beauty......

For the Love of Starbucks! | DIY Starbucks Bookmarks

Recently I went into Starbucks for a gift card.  Mixed with the normal gift cards were beautiful leaves with metallic gold.  They were perfect!! As I looked through them, I noticed that there was four different colors.  Of course I had to have them!!

There was a few different projects I thought I could use them for.  But none that I would be able to enjoy their prettiness.   As I thought I looked down and noticed my bible and a bookmark that was made for me was lying next to it.  That is what I'll do! I will make them into bookmarks.  Then I can enjoy them everyday!

With the hole on the end, a tassel would attach perfectly.  I used gold metallic string that I had to make the tassels.  They were very easy to make and the bookmarks were done in no time!

I love how they turned out!!  If you are not into Starbucks, you can easily cover the small Starbucks symbol.  They will still be very nice.

 

And this is how it looked in my journaling bible......

A nice accent to my bible.  Love it!!

 

I linked this post:

Bible Journaling Nehemiah 8:10 | I Choose Joy

^{Proverbs 8:10} Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

I used the new line from We R Memory Keepers Wildflower that is in my shop.  Love the colors in this line.  There is lots of gold and navy!

The joy of the Lord is our strength! I lean on the promises of the word of God....I choose JOY!

Bible Journaling Proverbs 31:30 | Feareth the Lord

^{Proverbs 31:30}  Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.

I journaled this page with the Dear Lizzy Serendipity line from my Etsy Shop.  The beautiful colors and delicate flowers reminded of the woman mentioned in the verse. 

More than anything, I want to be known as a God fearing woman.  A woman that fears the Lord does not fear the future......uses wisdom.....and lives not for just herself, but for others.
