Wednesday's in the Word // Illustrated Faith

A few months ago I was introduced into a wonderful new world. I follow a ton of creative amazing women on Instagram, I started to notice a trend surfacing. Many had started to scrapbook or doodle in their bible. I'm sure this is not a "new concept" Illustrated faith or bible art journaling isn't something that I was familiar with but I followed along with excitement and wanted to join in on all the fun. Here are a few of my favorite faith journalist.

Most of the journalist are using this bible the ESV Journiling Bible. The margins are like 2 inches so you have a ton of room to journal, doodle or faith scrap.

For a few months I followed along on on instagram with the hashtag biblejournaling or illustratedfaith. I even put the bible in my shopping cart like 20 times on Amazon but I never purchased it because I have this bible and it already had the wide margins. I was having an internal struggle with starting in my bible because my bible was falling apart, it is pretty sad looking and I had to duct tape it back together. Plus I already have notes everywhere with my ugly messy handwriting. Then Jesus spoke to my heart ever so softly and said He makes all things beautiful!!! So I jumped in messy handwriting and all. I have to tell you it is so wonderful to truly meditate on God's word while I'm coloring these pages and it has changed my quite time with Him. Here are my first few attempts. I am going to be posting weekly post about my bible journaling, I hope you follow along.

There is a group on facebook you should join it is Bible Journaling community it is amazing and my facebook feed is filled with pretty scripture.
