My word for the year is - LOOK

 as in - Look Up.

Look around at all the goodness surrounding me - 

Look for what God has for me...

 

And I have to share that I'm loving all the ways 

God has been putting this word before me this year... 

[and y'all know I'm LOOKING for it!]

-- A friend in my small group made these key chains for all of us -

LIVING LOOKING UP -  love it!

 So when Illustrated Faith announced their 

100 Days of Looking Up

I knew I had to join in - and if you look at anything on social media 

[#IF_100DaysofLookingUp ]

you'll see that everyone has a different take on how they plan to use this kit...

Me? -- I've decided to use a few different colors for the backgrounds and paint the jars with the colors of the sky [using watercolors] then add a quote each day from my ever-growing collection of quotes... some are faith based, some are not... but most all are what I'd consider inspirational...

Then I'm going to document some things each day that I see or that I'm grateful / thankful for  - [And I'm prepping pages a week or more ahead of time so I don't have to wait for paint to dry every day... ha] 

Soooo... I'm all ready for this 100 day challenge and they - Illustrated Faith -  announce their 'summer camp' plans: Truth Camp - digging into the book of John.

[One of my favorite books in the Bible.]

So I had to figure out a way to combine these two into one project book...

[I know I will never follow through if I have to carry around several different journals...]

 So, I'm simply adding the devotional / lessons from Truth Camp [#IF_TruthCamp ] into my 100 Days journal every ten days or so ...

[I think there will be eight [or so] lessons after we complete part two.]

My plan [RIGHT NOW -ha] is to add a fold out page at the beginning to highlight a favorite verse and put my 'badge' on... I'm also adding a photo of our camper to the devotional booklet...

 

The inside of the fold out is used for journaling / answering the questions from the booklet... I plan to use the same numbered format for each week... And I added some of the camp themed goodies from the kit.

The devotional booklet is taped right into the journal I'm using... you can see that it's just a bit bigger on the top of the page, but I'm leaving it that way... no worries...

I'm using the page after the booklet for faith art journaling 

[however I want to do it... and I'm sure it'll be different each week...]

The next few pages are the 100 Days of Looking Up Project... and so on...

I'm looking forward to spending time with the Lord each morning 

[with my new-to-me view - have I shared

that I cleaned up and moved a book shelf for this?!] 

while being creative and spending time in His Word.

I've gathered everything together in my favorite little green metal box so it's easy to access [and put away from the cats - ha.] 

I plan to share what I've done each Monday throughout the summer.
