Fourth Grade Valentine Journals - "One day I woke up and had been turned into a chocolate M & M"

I got up and went outside. I walked around. I felt like I wanted to eat myself. I went back inside and went to the mirror. I had been turned into a blue m & m. I got ready and went to the candy store. I bought all the candy they had. Than I ate it all. Every now and then a piece would be missing. I noticed a lot of people were holding pieces of m & m. Than I walked down the street, it got so hot that I melted.

One day I woke up and had been into a chocolate m & m. I was really strange. I was a green m & m. I smelled so good and I started licking myself and then I started eating my legs and then my arms. After that my mom came in and she said, "Stop eating yourself!" Then I said, "But I tasted so good." Then my mom said, "Oh, let me help you." After that, she ate me all up.

One day I woke up and had been turned into a dark chocolate mini sized m & m. I was a miniature color. I was the newer kind and if I was found in a pack I could run away. Suddenly I felt an enormous hand. When I was found 1,000,000 dollars would be given to the person.

One day I woke up and had been turned into a m & m. I almost ate myself too. Well I did eat a little part but then it grew back. I started to eat myself but than I realized I didn't eat breakfast yet. Finally I thought, wait a minute, who cares if I hadn't eaten breakfast yet. After I got downstairs I couldn't reach my mouth. Than I realized my mom was purple, my dad was blue and my brother turned red. I was pink. When I looked down. I realized my dogs were yellow and brown. Then I went to the mall to my favorite store and bought 1 billion things.

One day when I woke up I had been turned into an m & m. I thought that I was dreaming so I pinched myself. It hurt so I knew I wasn't dreaming. I screamed so loud my parents came running into my room. They were m and m's too. My dad was blue, my mom was orange, and I was yellow. My dog Sunny was green and my puppy Jojo was a mini red m and m. Jojo was cute as an m and m. So my family was stuck like that forever!

One day I woke up and had been turned into a peanut m and m. Then I went outside and tried to get a car to run me over. But no one did. Then I finally go an idea. I climbed up onto the counter and dropped myself off of it trying to see if my dog would eat me. But he was outside so apparently that idea didn't go so well. Finally my mom found me, I was sneezing and had red spots on me. But when she saw me she thought I was a bug so she stepped on me.

My daily devos...

One of my resolutions for the year of 2008 is to read through the Bible again and boy have I been reminded of so many things. I know I have heard the story of Joseph so many times, but never had I stopped to really think how horrible his brothers were to him; and yet, how well Joseph took it and how well God took care of Joseph. Many times when hard things happen to me, it is so much easier to just get angry or blame God for the situation. Joseph looked at the situation in his life through God's eyes and trusted Him through it all. All through Joseph's testing, he counted it joy and God greatly blessed Him for it. From this reading, I would really like to work on looking at every situation, whether good or not so good( in my eyes), as something from God or God is allowing for a purpose so I may become more like him and gain greater faith through it in the end.
