BIBLE ART JOURNALING: "WE HAVE COME TO WORSHIP THE KING"

This is SUPER LATE!  I had it saved to post but obviously forgot to finish and post it.  So here it is!  it is obviously a Christmas bible art journaling but it was fun using acrylic inks and salt.



Enjoy!

Periscope Video: My Thoughts on Healing.

I did a Periscope webcast today.  I'm not the best speaker but I hope it makes sense.  I know not everyone will agree but I do hope everyone at least gets into the bible so they can make their decisions based in God's Word rather than relying on what they have heard from other people.

NEW, REVISED AND SHORTER PRAYER JOURNAL VIDEO AND FREE JOURNAL/BINDER INSERT PRINTABLES!

Hello!!

I decided to make a shorter video of my prayer journal/binder/notebook since even I was having a hard time watching the full 40 minutes of the first video.  :)  This video thing has a learning curve and takes some practice!  CLICK ON THE VIDEO HERE!

Anyway, I have also made up two prayer journal inserts that some people may find helpful.  I have made these available on Dropbox as Word documents and as PDF's.  Just click on the links below.

They are in letter size for those who use a full size binder and can be printed out on both sides of your paper as long as you know how to do that with your printer.   They can also be printed out as half size paper (5.5 x 8.5), which fit perfectly into the half planner size that I use, or other planner sizes.

The PDF is great for being able to resize to you whatever your needs are.  The printing outcome, such as double sided pages, etc, is totally based on how YOU print these out.  Many printers have setting for half pages and double-sided sided printing or booklet printing, but some don't and all printer's are different in their settings to do this.

I apologize for the poor photos examples below of the free inserts.  I have printed mine on colored paper and decorated the edges with washi tape.

I pray that you will find praying more intentionally blesses you as much as it has blessed those I am praying for and myself.

New video posted!  

It is stormy, rainy, windy and cloudy here in Alaska.   Winter is quickly approaching!  I'm not ready yet!

On the up side, the gazebo studio is now wired for electricity and my husband is insulating it as I type them.  Soon, it will be nice and cozy in there, yay!  

New Video: Prayer Journal/Binder Set-Up & How I Use It

Hello everyone!

I had surgery two weeks ago and didn't do much while recovering, as you can tell from the lack of posting here.  It was painful at first and the pain meds made it difficult to focus, so I took a little break.  

I did make some cute DIY foiled journaling and scripture cards that I put in my prayer journal.  I posted photos of those cards on the Journaling Bible Community Facebook group page and was asked about my prayer journal, so I made a detailed video of it.  I tried to make it shorter but I felt that I was leaving out some important things that may be of help to someone so I just decided to go with it and stick with a long video. 

Here is an outline:

Reminder:  Keep it workable!  This is not to lead to condemnation or feelings of failure, however it is a commitment.  If you can only commit to praying like this a few times a week, that is better than nothing at all!  It does get easier with practice.  The hardest part is setting up the prayer binder to what best suits your needs.  

Sections:  

1)  Daily for 2.5 minutes minimum

*Praise/Adoration

*Praying in the Spirit

*Silence/Listening 

2) Daily and Rotating Subsections.   2.5 minute time frames.

ME:

*Self-reflection and confession - Daily review of past 24 hrs

Subsections, rotate one section per day, use paperclip to track which subsection to pray that day.

4)  Daily.  2.5 minute time frame.

        Paperclip stays on the tab for this section as a reminder to pray every day.
