It's Friday but Sunday's Coming!


I recently came across a growing form of worship called Bible Journaling or Illustrated Faith. Basically, it is artfully, doodling scripture in your bible. It was fascinating to me because I love Scripture, Art, and doodling.

 Not only is it peaceful and relaxing, but it gives my hands something to do while my heart meditates and prays. I have struggled in the past with sitting still to pray and meditate on scripture. But while I color and doodle my mind seems to focus more directly on the scripture before me. I can pray and think about all Christ has done for me without getting so distracted. It's even been a blessing for my children to take part in. I found the two designs below on Pinterest by a very talented artist and added them to my own bible.
Maybe this will be helpful to you too! I pray together we will dive into God's word, "cling to his testimonies," Psalm 119:30 and "treasure his word in our hearts." Psalm 119:11.

If doodling is not your thing be creative about other ways that might help you get quiet before the Lord. Many Blessings to you and Happy Weekend. I pray you enjoy some quality time with the Lord and your loved ones.
