Congratulations on your first video April; I feel a lot more connected to you. I love how organized you are; I’m going to adopt your tab method. I’ve never heard of Bible Journaling, but it looks impressive. I’m an artist, but I think all the pressure of drawing in my bible would be way too much from to handle.

In reply to Jen. Haha! Now I can't promise a tutorial exactly. More like show and tell....b/c April has 0, as in 0, art skills. I do highlight and write in the margins too.And I totally think it helps us learn it!

Look at that cute April! I have bible journaled for years. I am a highlighting, write notes in the margins kind of gal. It does help me to remember thoughts and feelings. Mine aren’t that pretty though, SoI can’t wait to see your tutorial after you do it!

In reply to Nonna. Amy's better with art. Ask her first and if she doesn't want it, I'll happily give it a try!

April, I ordered 2 ESV Journaling Bibles by mistake. They look like the old Readers Digest Condensed books. I only need one. Would you like the other for Christmas?

In reply to Shopgirl Anonymous. Oh wow, that's really neat. I used to be so good about keeping daily logs of just life in general and prayers sometimes, but once I began blogging, that sort of fell away. I'd love to get back to that. Maybe that can be a 2017 goal! The diversity of life, yes, you are right, is so beautiful. God didn't make a clone army. I'm so glad. thank you for sharing! I feel inspired.

I have a friend in my women’s entrepreneur group that handcrafts beautiful journaling Bibles as well as has maintained her own journals of faith through childhood. Something beyond the journaling is to keep a daily written long of your struggles, prayers, and blessings you experienced each day. Then underline each with it’s own color, struggles in red, prayers in blue, and blessing in purple (for example). At the end of each week/month/year review them and you can see the story line of christ, and the timeline of how the struggles led to answered prayers and then the prayers led to blessings.

Love the entire idea of playing our own personality into our faith, because God created our beautiful and wonderful personalities!
