Owl City maybe I’m dreaming – April 2024 bullet journal & free printables!

Happy April, friends, and welcome to the fourth installment in the Year of Owl City bullet journal inspiration series! This month is my birthday month, and I always like to create a bullet journal theme that features one of my favorite things. When it comes to Owl City, Maybe I’m Dreaming is one of my all-time favorite albums. I love the overall aesthetic feel of the artwork, and of course the music is *chef’s kiss* some of the best of Adam’s original soft electronic vibe. Hope you enjoy!

March 2024 bujo aesthetic – Ultraviolet Times

Happy new month, friends, and welcome to another bullet journal aesthetic inspiration post! I love a good full-spectrum color scheme, and this month’s typical emphasis on rainbows felt like the perfect time to create an Owl City bullet journal theme inspired by the Ultraviolet album. This album (technically it’s an EP) was highly influential to me when I was a teenager, and still has one of my favorite songs. Hope you enjoy!

Sleeping at Last – Mother

Merry Christmas, friends, and welcome to another installment of The Gospel According To at The Fangirl Fulfilled. Today I wanted to talk about another absolutely exquisite song from one of my favorite chill-and-thoughtful artists, Sleeping At Last. Many of their songs feel like worship/Gospel to me, even though the singer-songwriter hasn’t expressed any belief that I can tell. It’s actually amazing how much Sleeping At Last’s song “Mother” sounds like a faith-based, super poetic song to me. And it’s the perfect song for the Christmas season. Hope you enjoy!

Fandom: “Love bigger than the ocean/ Is what you’ve given to me…” – Sleeping At Last, “Mother”

Verses: Psalm 131, John 3:16, Ephesians 3:18-21, Job 11:7-9, Psalm 103:11-14, 2 Corinthians 9:8, Jude 24-25, Romans 15:13, 2 Timothy 1:7, Philippians 4:20, 2 Peter 1:3, 2 Corinthians 9:15, Romans 11:36, 1 Corinthians 8:6, Colossians 1:16

Truth: God’s love is bigger than the ocean, utterly incomprehensible, and yet closer and more real than anything else in this world.

Port Blue bullet journal – January 2024

Happy new year, amigos, and welcome to the first in a series of bullet journal aesthetic inspiration posts for 2024. I’m still over the moon about the new Owl City album that released in 2023, so I’m doing bullet journal themes based on many of his different albums and projects this year. Hope you enjoy!

Andra Day – Rise Up

happy Monday, friends, and welcome to another Gospel According to! I was listening to my “Fandoms” playlist on Spotify recently and this song came on. It speaks to me every time, but on this particular day I was super inspired and ended up creating a full journal spread and a Bible journaling page as a result. “Rise Up” is about the only song by Andra Day that I’m familiar with, but it’s so good!

The Beatles – Here Comes the Sun

Happy Monday, friends, and welcome to another fandoms post! It’s finally starting to feel like summer where I live, and I could not be more grateful. Feeling the warmth and light of sun on my face makes me think of thes classic and soothing song by the Beatles, “Here Comes the Sun.” And of course, thinking of the Beatles made me think of Gospel truths to share.

Bible journal with me: OneRepublic Counting Stars, ten-year anniversary edition

Happy Wednesday, my friends! Today is the ten-year anniversary of the release of “Counting Stars” by OneRepublic. I remember when this song first came out and how popular it was, and I wanted to take this opportunity to revisit a post I made based on it back in 2020. I’m also taking you along with me as I create a page in my journaling Bible to help me remember what I learned. Enjoy!

Owl City – If My Heart Was A House

Happy day, friends, and thanks for stopping by my website! I’ve been wanting to share my thoughts about this song by Owl City for a long time now. It’s one of the first fandom songs that pointed me to Scripture, and it’s still very close to my heart. I used to listen to “If My Heart Was a House” every single night before I went to sleep, and it’s one of my absolute favorite Owl City songs to this day. Hope you’ll enjoy fangirling with me!

Fandom: “Circle me, and the needle moves gracefully back and forth/ If my heart was a compass, you’d be north/ Risk it all, ’cause I’ll catch you when you fall/ Wherever you go, if my heart was a house, you’d be home” – Owl City, “If My Heart Was a House”

Verses: Deuteronomy 33:27, Isaiah 30:21, John 14:23
