Bible Journaling

Good evening, friends! I hope that you had a nice, restful weekend and that your Monday went smoothly. :)

I've been regularly working on my Bible journaling, so today I thought that I'd share a few more of my entries with you. First up is from Ezekiel 34:11 - 12, "For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his lock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep and I will rescue them."

Because I am blessed with friends that I truly treasure, this short verse from Proverbs 17:17 is near and dear to my heart: "A friend loves at all times."

I am a pretty patriotic person, so the next two entries highlight my love and pride for my country. First up is the verse from Psalm 56:4-5, "When I am afraid I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise; in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?"

Psalm 33:12 "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!"

Up next is a verse about hope being an anchor for our soul from Hebrews 6:19 (NIV), "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure."

And as my final entry for this post, another of my very favorite verses: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and he will make straight your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6.

Have a WONDERFUL week!

Blessings,

Bible Journaling...

Good morning!! It's Wednesday and that means we're half-way to the weekend - WOOHOO!!

Today I thought that I would share a couple of my most recent Bible journaling entries. The first is from Jeremiah 29: 11 "For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

The next entry is from Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God will be with you wherever you go."

If you think that you might like to try your hand at Bible journaling, why not check out Stephanie Ackerman's blog, Homegrown Hospitality, and click on the Documented Faith link.

Good morning! It's Wednesday, and that means that we're half-way to the weekend! :)

I am so enjoying the Stephanie Ackerman's "Documented Faith" online Bible study/Bible journaling class, so I thought that I would share the latest verses that I've been working on:

First off is "Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds" from Hebrews 10:24 (NIV):

Next is from 1 John 1:7 Be if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin" (ESV):

And last, is one of my favorite verses "Be still and know that I am God" (ESV) from Psalm 46:10:

Bible Journaling

Good morning! I hope that you are having a spectacular week! Today I thought that I would share my latest Bible journaling entries with you...

First off is 1 Thessalonians 4:11 - 12 "...aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one."

The next verse Psalm 139: 14 "I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made."

And last, but not least, is the verse from Revelation 22:3 - 5 "No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. They will see his face and his name will be on their foreheads. And the night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever."

Thanks for dropping by today! :)

Bible Journaling Art

Good morning! I recently signed up for Stephanie Ackerman's online Bible Journaling class, and I have really been enjoying incorporating artwork with the scripture of the week that she shares with us. Today I thought that I would share with you a few of the journaling pages I've created in my Bible...

First off is Matthew 5:8: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."

The next entry is from Romans 15:13: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope."

My next entry is Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

For Psalm 84:5, "Blessed are those whose strength is in you", I simply used the word BLESSED for my journaling:

Since summer is here to stay for a while, I couldn't help but draw some cute flip-flops to go along with the verse from Psalm 71:16: "I walk in the strength of the Lord God. I tell everyone that You alone are just and good."

For 1 Chronicles 16:41, "Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His presence continually", I drew some fun/funky cat-eye glasses...mainly because for me to seek anything these days I have to wear my bifocals - ha! ha! ;)

I have to admit that I was a bit intimidated to draw in my Bible, and although some people use watercolors for their Bible artwork, I haven't gotten that brave yet! Instead, I use colored pencils, and I have been quite pleased with the results.

Thanks so much for dropping by today!! I hope you have a FANTASTIC week!!
