Enhancing My Writing Skills

This year, 2024, I would like to continue to improve my writing skills through the writing process.

1. Plan: Get ready to write.

2. Draft: Write your ideas in sentences.

3. Revise: Improve your writing.

4. Proofread: Find and correct mistakes in your writing.

5. Publish: Share your writing with someone.

By improving my writing skills this year, it will help me in all my subjects at school, and in aspects  of my life, such as:

1. Improved clarity: I think Proper planning helps me organize my thoughts and ideas, making it easy for my readers to understand my message. This ensures that my  writing is clear, concise, and easy to follow.

2. Enhanced Coherence: Planning my writing skills also helps me establish a logical flow of ideas, ensuring that my writing remains coherent and engaging. This makes it easier for my readers to follow my arguments and ideas.

I'm going to put forth all the effort that I can to make it happen.

My New Year’s Resolution

My New Year’s Resolution is to be more honest and trustworthy. Being honest and trustworthy is something that you earn and not just get. So this year I will work hard to gain more integrity in what I do. Being honest and having integrity helps build your character and helps make you a better person. I will be more honest with my mother, such as, homework, household chores, and going to bed on time. Also, I will be more honest with my teachers, such as doing my homework.  Even though it will not be easy, I believe in God that he can help me. So my goal this year is to be a better person.

A Heart Filled With Wonder!

During this Christmas time, my heart is filled with many thoughts. I see the days rapidly approaching leading into a new year and I am reminded of Luke 2:19 "But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart." A heart is filled with many treasures, many thoughts, many desires and many wonders. What may have been the countless treasures in Mary's heart? What did she ponder in the recesses of what is considered the main pumping station of our being, the heart? Were there any concerns for the future? Any hopes? Dreams? Where did her imagination take her that a verse in the Bible is dedicated to her thoughts, her heart? While the Christmas song "Mary Did You Know" echoes these sentiments, I contemplate on the treasures within my own heart.

Life's experiences shape responses, prompting actions. May our hearts be filled with so much wonder that we not forget the awe and reverence of the wonder in the miracle of a child being born. Let us embrace the Christmas wonder as we step into the unknown of a new year, facing moments of fear with the assurance that perfect Love casts out all fear. May we not lose ourselves in darkness because the Light won't let us forget the path. May our heart be flooded as the light continues to beam brightly within. May you find moments to be still and know, I AM. You are filled with beautiful treasures. Ponder on the goodness of the Lord and may the pondering keep your heart pumping for more! A heart filled with wonder, is a heart filled with worship. ❤️
