Well, this weeks Inspiration Challenge - Seaweed Kisses/Journaling Blog was just the kick I needed to start my Bible Journaling.
I have been inspired by all the Bible Journaling I have seen out in Blogland recently and then also found that we have our own monthly Bible Journaling challenges right here at SCS!
So I purchased an NIV Journal Edition Bible from Amazon as well as some Crayola Twistables Colored Pencils and I've had them for about a month.
I was afraid to start! So here is my first attempt - pretty simple and not too artistic - but at least I started!
The January Bible Journaling theme was Promises - and I used a verse from Psalm 145 - The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does. So I highlighted the verse - then journaled in the lined journaling space using a Micron 03 black pen and drew a vine around the margins with the Crayola colored pencils.
Drawing a vine is my 'go to' doodling! so I'm going to have to up my game and figure out some new doodles - and also learn some more lettering styles.
Thanks Audrie for making me crack open my Journal Bible and just START journaling!!

Hello from another Julia. Love your page. That vine all around there makes it so charming and fun. I've been wanting to start Bible journaling too but I'm scared to start as well. I keep gathering ideas though. You made a fantastic start!
