For a Bible journaling newbie like me, how-to courses and videos are a big temptation. So perhaps it’s no surprise that a few weeks ago I signed up for Rebekah R. Jones’ “Word Study for Bible Journaling” course. The word Rebekah chose as a focus for these video lessons was HOPE. I’ve posted the two… Continue reading Shades of HOPE #BibleJournaling
Are you the kind of person who likes surprises thrown into your day? Or are you a scheduler who prefers to have your day outlined in your planner and then proceed according to plan? I’m definitely the latter. So, a few weeks ago when I read, in Matthew 14, about Jesus’ botched up day plans,… Continue reading Hospitality #BibleJournaling
Do you believe in prayer? Or a better question might be, do you believe that God acts in response to our prayers? Prayer was the sermon topic at church on August 6th. Jason, one of our talented young pastors, began his talk by reading the story of Peter encountering the lame beggar on his way… Continue reading When you don’t have a clue … #BibleJournaling
You may have heard about the wildfires that are devastating the interior of B.C. Here in the southwest corner of the province we have been getting a daily reminder of those fires in hazy, smoke-filled skies. Though we’ve had a stretch of clear weather, the sky lights up late and darkens early under an other-worldly… Continue reading Fire Test #BibleJournaling
A self-portrait in a Bible? Really!? That was Rebekah R. Jones’ Week 17 Original Bible Art Journaling Challenge. In response to Genesis 1:27 (“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them”), she created a lovely portrait of herself holding a container… Continue reading Self-portrait #BibleJournaling

Jones remembers the story of her miracle healing in a Bible art journal project connected to Psalm 77:11: “I will remember the works of the LORD; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.” She demonstrates, on the video, how to make a striking rainbow page… Continue reading I will remember #BibleJournaling
Who would think, after the long, cold, wet winter and spring we’ve had, that our province (B.C.) would be panting for rain? Yet the hundreds of wildfires that have been burning for several weeks now have us praying for the relief of a physical downpour. Hubby and I spent last weekend at a series of… Continue reading We need the rain! #BibleJournaling
A while ago I came across blog post: “Permission Pages: the perfectionist’s approach to the journaling Bible.” Lauren, the creator of that post, explains well what “Permission Pages” are and why one might want to create one, or several, in a journaling Bible. I loved the idea and added two as tip-ins at the front… Continue reading Permission Pages #BibleJournaling
Today’s Bible art-journaling project is another Rebekah Jones Challenge (OBAJC Week 13). The focus verse is a favourite of mine. It’s a challenge to illustrate but even more to live: “And do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will… Continue reading Transformation #BibleJournaling
Music plays a big part in my life. When I’m not doing brain intensive work, I almost always have music playing. I do listen to some oldies from the past, but mostly praise, worship, and gospel music is the sound track of my life. The challenge to do an art journal project on Psalm 98—a… Continue reading Sing … #BibleJournaling
