Bible Journaling: Ephesians 2:10

I hope you are having a wonderful Saturday! I've got a little down time this morning and enjoying our beautiful spring weather!!! I love spring for it's beautiful colors! Everything is green and pretty with the flowers blooming reds, pinks, yellows, etc. it's like the earth came to life again.
 Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could be the same?!! Bright and beautiful and renewed!! 

The verse for Week 15 @ Documented Faith is Ephesians 2:10
"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. "

As I read this "we are his workmanship" I focused on these words. He made us, we are all made by the same God, so let us come alive again and do good works to give Him honor and praise!! 

Supplies used: Crossway Journaling Bible, ESV Version (Family Christian Stores), Acrylic Paints (Ross),

Week 40 in my Journaling Bible

For over a year now I have been journaling in my bible on Sunday evenings. I enjoy my time to read and be fed God's word. I was explaining Bible Journaling to a friend the other day, and I put very simply....
I read the verse, read it again, and maybe even again...then I highlight certain words and meditate on it...I think of ways I can apply this verse to my life. Then I let my creative juices flow. I find this very relaxing and rewarding.

Tonight I'm sharing my entry for Week 40 of  our study at  DOCUMENTED FAITH The focus word for September has been TEACH. We have been reading verses that talk about ways that God is trying to teach us what He wants us to do to live a Christ filled life.

We all have opportunities to TEACH and BE TAUGHT.

Week 40 is from 2 Timothy 4:2
"Preach the word. Be ready to serve God in good times and bad. Correct people’s mistakes. Warn them. Encourage them with words of hope. Be very patient as you do these things. Teach them carefully."

These were the NOTES:   This verse tells us to “correct, rebuke and encourage” It is hard to accept correction and/or be told that we need to change.  No matter how much the truth may hurt, we must be willing to listen to it so that we can more fully obey God.

 

I hope your Monday was a blessed one!!

 

If you get the chance to stop by tomorrow, I will be sharing some Handmade Cards I have been working on.

 

Bible Journaling: Col. 3:12-17

Good afternoon! Feels so wonderful to be off from work and getting things done around the house. Life got pretty hectic there for a bit so I hadn't posted in a while. I worked on this a couple of weeks ago. It was Week 36 at Documented Faith.  
Due to my lack of energy lately and frankly not feeling well, I colored in the printed image and used washi tape to adhere to my page. I used a pretty piece of cardstock on the back of it to give it stability. 
The subject was COMPASSION, which often times, depending on how my life is going, I lack. 
I can probably show animals more compassion than humans. Maybe because they are more accepting. 

 Here is the back of the printed image...I wanted to keep it, so I could read it and read it again! 

Thanks for stopping by! The next theme word is TEACH! This one is going to be really good because I could use alot of TEACHING!

HAVE A BLESSED WEEKEND!
