In week one, we talked about journaling outside your Bible, and this week we’ll talk about the next level: micro Bible journaling.
Continue reading Micro Bible Journaling: Step by Step Tutorial and 20+ ExamplesOne of the things I hear most from people who look at my Bible goes something like, “How do you do that? I could never be so artistic. I wouldn’t know what to put where, with all the stickers and washi tape that you use.” Today, I’m here to show you some of the most common Bible journaling techniques in more detail, starting with journaling outside your Bible. For a full list of all the places you can start Bible journaling for yourself, see this post :).
Continue reading Bible Journaling Outside Your Bible: Tutorial in a Happy Planner + ExamplesThis summer was really… different. As we all know, many plans were cancelled. For me, my plans to work at a camp for most of the summer were completely wiped out. Instead, I used the sudden abundance of free time, and the new planner I bought, to take summer classes and document memories. And now, without further ado, here is my Faith and Focus planner review.
Continue reading Faith and Focus Planner Review: The Best Daily Planner for Short-Term SeasonsHello, faithful friends! It’s time for a Word study round-up! If you don’t know what a word study is, allow me to explain. Because the Bible was written in different languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek), modern readers like us can benefit from studying it in its original language as well as our own. This usually means picking out one word or phrase that sticks out from the English (or Spanish, or French, or Italian, or Chinese, or Arabic…) text and looking up the original word in a concordance. This allows us to better understand the Bible in its original context… plus, it’s SUPER cool!!! See four (ish) examples of Romans Word study below, and new ones every Wednesday on my Instagram 🙂

November is the month when we all start thinking about thankfulness, maybe on a few days for Thanksgiving, or maybe all month. For the Bible journaling community, this is the month we embark on a 30-day project known as Gratitude Documented. This post will show you what Gratitude Documented is, and my plans for the 2020 project. Enjoy!
Continue reading Gratitude Documented 2020: My Supplies, Plans, and MoreThe moment I saw the new devotional from Illustrated Faith, I was in love. If you didn’t know, Illustrated Faith is a company that combines curated art/craft supplies with devotional content to encourage us to express and grow in our faith creatively, especially through Bible journaling. This month’s devotional is called Mixtape (hence the title of this post), and its focus is replacing the negative thoughts in our heads with truth from God’s Word. So good! And so perfect for this year xD. This devotional also lines up so amazingly with the preface of this blog. So, without further ado, here are songs to remind you that you’re loved, inspired by week one of the Illustrated Faith Mixtape devotional. Enjoy!
Continue reading Loved: a Mixtape Inspired by Illustrated FaithAt some point in the year 2014, a lady named Shauna Noel started a movement. Using a wide-margin Bible and craft supplies she already had, she documented the things she learned from Bible study, devotional time, and sermon notes in a creative way. Now, there are probably thousands of us out there, making beautiful things to celebrate victories, document truths, and worship the Lord, all in a creative way. This post shows you the most common places and techniques that people use in what is now called “Bible journaling.” See this video from Shauna Noel for more of what Bible journaling is all about :).
Continue reading Bible Journaling Techniques: 7 Places to Express Your Faith CreativelyHonesty will always be my policy here, so here’s an honest moment: when I opened my Bible tonight, I didn’t expect to spend hours studying and journaling. I started out with watercolor pencils in my read-the-Bible-for-the-simple-joy-of-reading-the-Bible Bible (Message Canvas Bible). YouTube was playing in the background, but not anything super “spiritual”, just a plan with me video I was already watching. I’ve had a long day today, so I gave myself permission to just use the beautiful illustrations on the first page of Romans to unwind and relax.
