Diary Entry 1

July 17th, ______________

Dear Diary,

I have cried tears and tears of Joy. Seldom have I felt so joyous as I have today watching Charles VII get crowned a King. I have led my beloved France to victory. I have earned the trust and respect from both my king and my army. Everything happened just as God had predicted it to me. Never have I felt so perfectly content in life for everything is as it should be. Though the______________ have been awfully quiet recently, I do not doubt that they will return to aide me on my path of light and command me to do Gods bidding.

Yours faithfully,
Joan

Diary Entry 2

May 30th, ______________

Dear Diary,

Though they told me to stop telling people about the voices that speak to me and though they forbade me to ever dress in men's clothing again, I can and will never stop doing so. How can they ever expect me to stop acting in the name of God when it was He who has chosen me for His holiest of ______________ ?  The saints told me that I must remain strong until my last breath and so I will. I shall die with my beliefs, with my dignity and free from sin. 

Dear diary, this shall be the last time we ever speak and you will be dearly missed. For the last time I shall place my faith in God. Amen.

Yours faithfully,
Joan

Diary Entry 3

August 12th, ______________

Dear diary,

Though I have only just turned thirteen the strangest thing happened to me today, dear diary. I am so excited I can barely breath. Voices talked to me today and not just voices, SAINTS. They told me that I have been chosen by God himself. It is my duty to lead France to victory. It will be a hard task but I have divine guidance. I always knew I wasn't meant to be a typical ______________, I always knew I was destined to be more. 

Yours faithfully,
Joan

Diary Entry 4

March 2nd, ______________

Dear Diary,

Few things in life make me feel as free as riding my horse through the forest. Though it is dark and cold, I don't feel fear, for I am performing God's duty. I must ride another 5 days to arrive at my destination, there I will speak with Charles. The saints have told me that it is absolutely vital that I will be in charge of the army in Orléans. I must lead our forces with power and determination. I must lead them with the battle strategies God has provided me through my saints. I have no doubt that he will give me leadership of the army however, as the saints have shown me in visions  how to  ______________ him. 

Yours faithfully,
Joan
