*mumblemumble* AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR CHALLENGE!

DING DONG DING DONG DING DONG DING DONG!

Hello everyone!! Happy (almost) New Year! WE'RE SO CLOSE!!!

This post is going to be short and sweet. The New Year is fast approaching! Only a couple new years until we say goodbye to 2017!

So! I have devised a personal challenge for all of you today to celebrate these last precious hours before they slip away!


Rapidfire answer these questions to yourself! Be speedyquick, we've got more to do!

1. What's the best thing about 2017?
2. What in your life RIGHT NOW are you pleased about?
3. What's going to be the best thing about next year?


After you answer these questions to yourself, you're ready to tackle the next part of the challenge. (by using words like challenge, rapidfire, and tackle, this personal challenge is sounding a lot more aggressive than it really is!)

Now, go make somebody smile! Tell a joke, say what you love about them, do something kind! These will be some of your last acts of kindness until the new year!


Next, do something you wouldn't normally do. It's time to get out of routine and make a change before the year changes! Hate doing the dishes? Offer to help this time! Avoiding checking the mail? Make an adventure out of it! Is your room super messy? Do some organizing! Make sure to have fun while doing these things- what good is a change if you can't enjoy it? So go! Turn some music on, and laugh while doing something you're not so big on!


Worried about what's going to happen in your life next year? Don't worry- everyone gets some degree of New Year anxiety! Write down what is bothering you or what you're worried about. THEN CRUMPLE UP THE PAPER AND PUNT THAT THING. BODY SLAM IT. YOU DON'T NEED THAT NEGATIVITY IN YOUR LIFE!


Now that you've done these things- go enjoy the rest of your day with the ones you love and care about! Appreciate them- they love you too!!

Congratulations, you're now a Pre-New Years Superhero! Go pat yourself on the back you hero you!


In all seriousness, thank you for another wonderful year AJC. You all have changed my life and everyday for me is so much better because of you guys! Thank you from the bottom of my harp!

"Arctic, that's not the proper way to say that quote"


Happy New Year everyone! Have an awesome day (see you next year, hahahahahah *dodges a lemon*

NO. NOT THE LEMONS AGAIN!

See you soon!!

A steam giftcard, Oh and a Evidence Bible, I asked for one! :D 

And I think that's it! I may have forgotten a thing or two, but It wasn't anything big I don't think XD
Oh and the day after I got a cold yaaay :P
My favorite gift might be 
Does DanTDM voice: I'm not gonna lie 
the fuzzy sweater and socks, I've been wearing them pretty much ever sense I got them :P
I've ate all the raspberry squares, you only get like, I'm gonna say 10? And their super good :P 
I'm gonna try and save the rest of for the all nighter (New Years) 
I used the steam giftcard, and if you didn't know, Steam is a company that makes a bunch of games. other then that I don't know what else to say about it XD
The Tekno Newborn I haven't figured out how to teach it to do tricks, I needa watch a video for it. 
The Wacom Tablet I haven't used yet, I've been busy :P 
After Christmas is always super busy, with watching new movies, playing new games and just playing with new toys.
Now for some story's! 
:sits in easy chair and opens big story book: 
:talks in grandma voice: It was the Christmas Eve Eve of 2017 I was excited of course ....
now for chapter two :turns page: the next morning it being a Sunday and Christmas Eve, we went to church, it seemed to go by pretty fast, and we didn't stay very long after the snack.
When we got home, we had to wait for Mom to get home, she had to go to the store to get ham. 
But when she got home everyone got excited. It didn't take long to get all the presents downstairs, and before I knew it, we had started opening presents, we put Mr. Boo in the packin'play and he threw his bricks into the gifts. 
We had 3 different kind of presents, sibling presents where we just gave a present to a sibling, 
Parent/Mom and Dad gifts where ya of course give a gift to Mom and Dad.
And presents from the parents to us. 
We started with sibling presents, then Dad wanted to do normal presents, then we did Mom and Dad gifts. 
Dad got about 10 blocks from Mr Boo because he was just throwing wooden blocks everywhere. 
Then afterwards everyone went to their room to sort out all them gifts. 
:turns page: chapter 3! Christmas day! We did "all of the gifts" on Christmas Eve, but I knew that Mom would have 1 surprise gift. And she did, and that's when me and Sarah got our fuzzy sweaters. 
That night we watched the movie Risen, It was really good :D It's about a Roman Solider who saw the death of Jesus and when Jesus rises from the dead, he's ordered to find the body. Very interesting! 
and that is all for today children! :closes book: 
Sorry if this post is kinda, messy, or hard to understand. Like I said I'm sick sooo heh.
See ya'll next week.

Hehe! As you can see from the title and intro, I'm jumping on the whole blog post about what you got for Christmas...
Thing

Anywho, a disclaimer that Swirl also included in her post, I don't mean to brag in this post at all. I just want to show you guys what I got. :) Feel free to also put what you guys got down below!

Leeeet's begin, first with the gifts from my parents!

Front

Back

I don't know why it has that gray line. o.o

This is probably one of my favorite gifts that I got! I wanted this shirt super bad. I actually wore it today. XD They sold these for the Passion (conference) Worship Night!


....IN YOU!

:D
Of course I put We Are Messengers shirts on my wish list
HOW COULD I NOT

Now I have all their hit song shirts
Point To You shirt
Magnify shirt
Everything Comes Alive shirt
YEEEY
MISSION ACOMPLISHED XDD


Don't know why this has a gray line either.

^^ YouTube video
You can click here to see it
(:
They're also going on a tour called "Hope Is The Message"


Louie Giglio sermon series! I can't wait to watch it. :D


The book on the left is a devotional written by different students that are involved with Passion, and the book on the write is by Louie Giglio, called "I Am Not But I Know I Am"!


I was totally not expecting these! Once we went to the store and I saw Valerie's Home Cooking, and I gave my mom a hard time about not getting it (pretty sure it was a good deal at the store we were at). Little did I know she had already ordered the cookbook. XDD


WE ARE MESSENGERS POSTER
:D :D

Thank you, Mom, for holding the poster so I could take a picture. XD


Stocking stuffers!

My mom painted my nails with the gel nail polish, and I was wondering why it wouldn't dry. It was over 15 minutes and it wouldn't dry, so I had to take it off. The nail polish came with instructions, and said you needed to use a UV heat lamp to dry it, but I thought that was optional. That night my mom told my aunt about it, and she said you do have to use a UV lamp. I think we might order one on Amazon. Lesson learned. XD

Here's the gifts my brother and sister in law got me,


They gave me a puzzle with a Bible verse on it, Prismacolor colored pencils, Prismacolor pencil sharpener, and an adult coloring book, from the song Indescribable! I love the coloring book so much. It's really complex and beautiful, and on every other page there's a lyric from the song!

I was looking through the coloring book, and saw on the last page that there's also a coloring book from the song Oceans (Where Feet May Fail). Didn't even know this was a thing. I think there might also be one from the song It Is Well With My Soul. I NEED TO LOOK THESE UP. He he.
*Quickly goes on Amazon now that I'm talking about this* THERE'S AN AMAZING GRACE ONE??
There's Swirls new Bible :o
Getting sidetracked

XD Here's the gift my other brother got me,


Sorry it's back so far, I didn't want to get my reflection in it.

He got me a 12 month planner! ^.^

The gift my grandpa got me,


I uh-
Actually knew I was getting this
I was at the store when my mom bought this for me, from my grandpa
And I knew it was for me
Heh
Heh

I know what I want to use it on though. I want to geeeet:


Passion hoodie! I'm going to give my mom the rest of my cash, and she'll make up the difference. It's $40. 😬

Here's the gifts my aunt and uncle got me,


They got me a scarf making kit (which my aunt said she just found in her closet XDD), a Mickey Mouse necklace, and these uh- open glove.. Things.. XD!

Here's the gifts my nana got me,


She got me this, an Amazon gift card, and gave me some money! Currently I'm wearing this sweater, along with my Passion shirt. XD

---

And that's it!

Apologies this post is so late by the way. We were out shopping with my nana.

Here's todays Bible verse!

Proverbs 2:7

He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.

God made you. Uniquely. Beautifully. Intentionally. Purposefully. Wonderfully.

Stay positive, be yourself, and spread God's Word everyday!


P.S. I didn't mean to brag at all in this post! >.<

Tales From Arctic Past: Merry Christmas (Eve) AJC!

Hello friends - Arctic here!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE MORNING! Because it's Christmas Eve day but it's the morning? I don't know where I'm going with this...

Anywho! 'Tis the season! Christmas Day is tomorrow! *scree* That means I'll finally know what's in that suspiciously large box under my tree!

I just wanted to say, thank you everyone! This is my fourth Christmas here on the AJC - my how time flies!

Today I thought I'd share some yearly occurrences that always seemed to happen to me on Christmas - but in the form of an AJ Comic!

Enjoy everyone!

So when I was little I thought that sleeping earlier would make Christmas Day come faster. Soon, I figured out that I was very wrong, haha!





So yes. I'd HOPE to go to bed early! See the issue with this was. I ALWAYS wouldn't be able to sleep! Maybe I'd be able to catch a few Z's for a couple hours but I'd always end up waking up around 10:30 (way past my bedtime at the time) and I wouldn't be able to sleep again for at least an hour (which, trust me. as a little kid - an hour seems like days!)




For this entire hour I. Could. Never. Sleep. Instead, I flailed around in my bed hoping the minutes would drag by a little quicker.


I'd freak out at every noise, thinking it was Santa.



And WITHOUT FAIL. I would hear my parents chatting downstairs and WITHOUT FAIL I would think they were having a blast, opening presents without me. (this happened every year too... maybe I wasn't the brightest child)



And of course I would cry - thinking my parents were gonna know what all those presents were before I would even get a chance to touch them. (again. EVERY YEAR. I really needed to smarten up)


And I'd think to myself: so THATS why my parents make me go to sleep early - so that they can have fun opening my presents. WITHOUT ME!

And I'd sit there for a solid 10 minutes feeling hurt and angry until I would think: I'll show them. If I go to sleep, then. Then. It'll be Christmas and then I'LL get to open the presents! Yeah. That'll show 'em. (very poor logic, I know. But somehow it would convince me to get some sleep)


And so - every Christmas morning I would be the first one out of bed! And somehow I'd forget all about my little Late-Night Meltdown by the time I woke up.




Hmm. Maybe it doesn't exactly make sense that I made my parents a penguin in this cartoon, despite my main animal being a raccoon... Ah well, my logic didn't make much sense back then either - I guess this fits haha!

So yeah- there's a snippet of what Christmas Eves were like when I was little! Were any of you just as silly? Tell me about your experiences!

That's all for today folks. Have a very VERY Merry Christmas - see you soon!

Sleep well!

Second part of a giant giveaway

Me: How can I forgive when I can't forgive myself? How can I move when all I have is regret? How can I keep turning away? How can I make it past the noise with my shame? I need a miracle,
Some healing for my heart, I need a revelation, a brand new start, I want simplicity, Where I can rest, but I need a miracle to put my past to death
You Guys: Arrgh You're going to do a We are Messengers intro? We get that from Gracie all the time! 
Me: Go oo o ooo oo ood! I know you're gooold go gooooo oo o! I know, I know! I do'nt need the stars in the night! I found my treasure all I need is you by my side! So shine forever! Go oo o ooo oo ood! I know your gooooollld!

Me: Do you wanna build a snowmaaaan? Come on let's go and plaaay I never see you anymore, come out the door, it's like you've gone awaaaay!
You Guys: WE DON'T WANNA BUILD A SNOWMAN! 
Me: Lost but, maarrrching on, like we've always known the trail. Searching fooor ouur ending to the faily tale. sometimes even shotting stars, find wishes and miss their mark, but when the night gets too dark, and the road home seems to far! :continues singing:
You Guys: OK, STOP  IT, STOP THE MUSIC! :rips out cord to speakers: 
Me: HEY!!!!
You Guys: we're getting sick of this! Why were you doing a bunch of songs anyway? 
Me: Each one was for a different person!
You Guys: Wha? How?
Me: We are Messengers was for Gracie, Owl City was for Sarah and Swirl and kinda Lost, and the last song Dragonhearted by Tryhardninja was for me. :) 
You Guys: Who was Do You Wanna Build A Snowman for? 
Me: Frozen/LPSlover, she just popped into my head
You Guys: oooh kay then. 

Wow, that got, super weird o,o 
Ok so remember how I did a giant giveaway awhile ago, and how it was a bunch of den items?

Hehe! Helloooo everyone! I really do think I had too much sugar earlier. o.o

Today I'm going to hopefully get this done pretty quick- at 4:45 we're leaving for out church's volunteer appreciation dinner. At a buffet 😑. Me and my mom absolutely hate buffets. I remember last year when we went to this I barely ate anything- because heh- it seemed disgusting. I dunno- buffets just seem so unsanitary. o.o Then before we leave I want to read my Bible, sooo-
*Calculates*
I guess I have a little less than an hour to do this post.
So let's begin. XD

Todays post is going to be about last minute Jamaaliday and Christmas gift ideas! ^.^

---

Jamaaliday gift ideas

1. If you haven't made masterpieces for your friends on Animal Jam, or haven't had enough diamonds to, you could go on the Jamaaliday Rescue adventure and get gifts that way, or get a popular item in Jam Mart Clothing or Jam Mart Furniture. 



2. If you don't have enough gems to buy gifts, or the time to play the Jamaaliday adventure, it's always the thought that counts! You could simply send a nice Jam-A-Gram wishing your buddies a Merry Christmas.

Christmas gift ideas

1. Gift cards would probably be the easiest last minute gift idea. You can just go to your neighborhood store and pick one up. And of course, if you're parents are letting you use their money, getting gift cards online would probably be pretty easy. Just uh- don't use your parents credit card without their permission. XDD

2. Crafts would be great for a little girl you're shopping for! I used to get jewelry making kits when I was little, and I loved them! Most Walmart's carry them.


---

Hopefully these last minute Christmas gift ideas help! I can't believe that Christmas is only 6 days away. This year just flew by!

---

Here's todays Bible verse!

Matthew 1:23

Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means "God is with us."

God made you. Uniquely. Beautifully. Intentionally. Purposefully. Wonderfully.

Stay positive, be yourself, and spread God's Word everyday!
