First Time Bible Journaling

Almost two years ago, my friend Faye gave me this journaling Bible. For those of you who have never heard of Bible Journaling, it's a thing! A mighty cool thing too!

I love it!
Thank you Faye.

The Bible comes with some
fancy schamancy, already spruced-up, 
journal-like pages on both sides.

Other pages are prettied up on one side.

While full-page illustrations can 
be found here and there as well.

Of course, pages with space
for journaling are abundant!

Would you believe that, after almost two years, I'm just now journaling in it?

Like 
TODAY 
was my first day!

It's true.

Yeah, I know.
Shame on me!

I wanted to accomplish a few things this morning before I started journaling. 

First, I ordered several sets of Bible Journaling stamps from the Joy Clair website. 

Next, I hopped on over to Pinterest to pin some Bible Journal inspiration. I pinned a few things as well as a video on The Thinking Closet website where blogger Lauren Lanker listed her 20 favorite Bible Journaling supplies. Her enthusiasm was a joy to watch! 

If you're interested, Lauren's vid is here. 

My Pinterest Bible Journaling board is here.

My Pinterest time led me to seek out a few Bible journaling bloggers so that I could add them to my blog reading list. Done.

At last, I was ready to journal.

It seemed fit to journal the first scripture I EVER learned which was taught to me as a child by my grandma, Mee-Maw Richter.

The scripture is

John 3:16

For God so loved the world that he gave his 

only begotten son that whoever believes in 
him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

Here's the page.
It's simple.

Far from perfect.

BUT

it was fun, fun, fun!

Supplies used:

MozArt Watercolor Brush Pens,

Pitt pen and brads.

See you soon!

May Your Day Be 
Extra Merry & Beautifully Bright,
