I have been Bible Journaling for 2 years now and I still love it just as much, or more than the day I started. I love talking with others on how to get INTO His Word. I have not come face to face with anyone who does not like it. I know some fellow Bible Journalers have come across people who believe they are messing up the Bible. They do not like the fact that God's Word is covered. There are some Bible Journalers that do not want to cover the words up. I used to feel that way, as well. However, I feel that through Bible Journaling verses/passages that I have prayed about, thought about for a long time, and talked with God over - have come alive for me. Isn't God's Word a living and breathing document? With that comes art and creativity. I feel that Bible Journaling brings me closer to God and what he wants me to gain from reading His Word - come out in my Journaling. Sometimes I cover the words - sometimes I don't. I have other Bibles to refer to - If I need it. I have had quite a few friends and co-workers begin Bible Journaling after seeing my Bible... and that is why I share on social media - FB and IG (@jeannab13) I do not share to say - "Hey look what I did"... but to say ..."Hey - look what God is showing me... he can show you too. Want to try it?" It truly makes me dive into the word and want others to want to do the same. Below you will see a video I made of a slide show of all my pages in my regular Journaling Bible. I also have Journaled in my Inspire Bible as well as a Hymnal. I have an Interleaved Bible - that I have not started on yet.. Blank pages can be intimidating. If you are not sure where to start - look up your favorite verse... and search on Pinterest. So If my favorite verse is John 3:16... then search "Bible Journaling John 3:16" and you will love what you see. In the journaling Community if you are inspired by someone else's page - that is even better. We just ask that you reference who you got inspiration from. I also love my Instagram Feed... I search for Bible Journalers and follow them. So my feed is filled with Bible Pages and scripture. Reminder - You only need to start with the basics... then you can add to it as you get more comfortable with Bible Journaling. WIll you join me on this journey????
