Day 30: A motto or philosophy
A philosophy of mine is something I took from the Bible verse James 1:27.
James 1:27
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
Does this not put your original perceptions of religion and Christianity and faith to shame? What does God see as pure and faultless? Helping the women and children who are in need.

Day 29: Hopes, dreams, and plans you have for the next 365 days
While I do want to leave my future open for God to mold and control, I do have plans that I would love to see 
fulfilled if He wants them to be fulfilled.
1.) I want to graduate high school this year (obviously) with all A's.
2.) I want to go to an amazing university that is the perfect fit for me and what I want to study.
3.) I want to publish my novel, Before You.
4.) I want to travel to Kenya, Africa again and reunite with old friends.
5.) I want to make new friends in new places, everywhere I go.
6.) I want to keep my old friends from where I live after I go to college.
7.) I want to discover what career God wants me to pursue that both makes me happy and glorifies Him.
8.) I want to have hope and joy, no matter what happens to me or to those I love.
9.) I want to leave a legacy in my high school... a good kind of legacy for Jesus.
10.) I want to share God's Word with as many people as I possibly can.
11.) I want to continue to grow in my relationship with Jesus and learn to be a shining light for Him through every action that I make and word that I speak.
What are your dreams for the next year?
