Hind-sight is always 20/20. It’s so much easier to see the Blessings in my life after the battle. I’m not alone. It’s not unusual for people to miss blessings from time to time. Things we once thought weren’t blessings turn out to be the best ones, and things we thought were blessings turn out not to be. It happens to everyone.

That said, failure to acknowledge the existence of your blessings isn’t a state that you want to remain in. The ability to experience joy and contentment begins when you’re grateful for the many blessings God has bestowed upon you.

Recognizing a Blessing isn’t Always Easy

It can be difficult to recognize blessings during troubled times, but this is the perfect time to take a long, hard look at yourself and acknowledge what you have instead of what you don’t have. It’s also important to recognize that “this too shall pass.” When you’re going through tough times, the best way to handle it is to maintain a mindset of gratitude to the Lord, amidst the chaos, and know that His many blessings, whether physical or spiritual, will get you through.

Spiritual Blessings

These are the blessings given only to those who are in Christ. The indwelling Holy Spirit is the one who delivers these blessings to you. In the first chapter of Ephesians, Paul writes about them.

You are chosen (v.4)
You are holy and blameless in Christ (v.4)
You stand in His Love (v.4)
You are his child (v.5)
You are accepted(v.6)
You are redeemed (v.7)
Your sins are forgiven (v.7)
You have the riches of His grace (v.7)
He made the mystery of His will known to you (v.9)
You have an eternal inheritance (v.14)
You have the Holy Spirit (v.13)
You have a calling (v.18)
You are valuable to Jesus (v.18)
You have His great power (v.19)

It’s important to remember that you are unconditionally loved by God. He died for your sins, forgiven you and provided you with the ultimate of blessings – eternal life.

Physical Blessings

These are blessings that are endowed on all, whether they serve God or not. God has given us our physical bodies that will help us live life to the fullest if we treat them like the temples they are. He also blessed us with the beautiful planet we live on, our families, and other successes. All things are possible if we keep sight of our Lord and appreciate his blessings.

Seeing Blessings

Some blessings can be easy to see like good health, financial stability, a wonderful marriage, and happy, healthy children. Other noticeable blessings can range from necessary provisions to extraordinary talent backed by an abundance of resources. Other blessings are hard to understand like financial and natural disasters.

When enduring what appears to be impossible situations to handle, it can feel like God is a million miles away at the very second you need Him the most. Doubt and fear come into play, which makes it seem like prayers go unanswered.

It doesn’t need to be this way. It’s during difficult times when you should rely on Him the most. There’s nothing quite like dealing with a troubling situation and then experiencing the sense that God has wrapped His arms around you in a protective, comforting hug. After all, He is greater than any circumstances you may face.

Four Ways to Recognize Blessings

Not every blessing will be in the form and function of what you want it to be, so it’s important to have the skills necessary to recognize blessings. Here are a few tips to help you discern if the blessing is really a blessing from God.

1. Remove Your Worldly Opinion

Sometimes (actually, quite often) our worldly opinion about our current situation is wrong. Just because you think it’s a blessing doesn’t mean it is. The opposite is also true. You may think something isn’t a blessing, when in fact it is. Instead, release your opinion and be open to God’s. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you the blessing in your current circumstances.

2. Pray About it

Ask God to help you discern it. Pray, study Scripture, be patient, and trust in God’s love and ability to guide you through life. When you pray for God’s guidance and for clarity through the Holy Spirit, you can count on Him to provide the wisdom you need to see your blessings.

3. Test it

Is it in alignment with His Word? God will never contradict Himself. Every Scripture in the Bible is God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16-17), so you should take what is written in the Bible very seriously. Blessings come as you give yourself over to God, trusting Him, his presence filling you with confidence and hope.

4. Listen to the Holy Spirit

Scripture says the Holy Spirit comes into the heart of that newly-born child of God and lives there (1 Corinthians 3:16). What is the Holy Spirit telling you? Always remember and firmly believe that you have immeasurable power through the Holy Spirit.

Life is hard. God never said it would be easy. However, when you face struggles, look for the blessings. You just might find them.

This months technique course in Momentum is hand painted Bible covers.

Psalm 103:1-10

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

The Lord works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed. He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever.He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities.

Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

2 Corinthians 9:8

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.

Meet the Creative Faith Crew!

Yay! It’s here – the first post sharing our wonderful Bible journaling design team, called “The Creative Faith Crew.”

At Bible Journaling Ministries, our mission is to help others grow in the Word creatively, but we don’t do that alone. The Bible says that two are better than one (Ecclesiastes 4:9), and thank goodness for that! There are many volunteers, freelancers, and two employees behind the scenes that make things come together in our ministry all for the glory of God.

About the Creative Faith Crew Bible Journaling Design Team

The Creative Faith Crew Bible journaling design team’s role is to encourage and inspire others through Bible journaling. They share their creations on various social media platforms and in their local community. By sharing the Word in a creative way, they pique the interest of those who find beauty in their art but may not know Jesus Christ, help those may be struggling with opening their Bible to find more joy in doing so, and encourage someone who regularly reads the Bible to read it more or worship in a new way. Through their efforts, the Lord is glorified! And isn’t that what it’s all about?

If you’re interested in learning more about the Creative Faith Crew Bible journaling design team, click here. Make sure you’re following our blog, on our newsletter (scroll down), or following our Facebook Page so that you’re the first to know when it’s time to apply.

Amanda Hargrove – Team Lead

Meet Amanda

I am a happily married wife of 24 years to an amazing man, Andy. A momma to two beautiful children, Adam (17) and Alayna (11). I work at my daughter’s school in the cafeteria and help prepare lunches to feed precious preschoolers every day. I enjoy it, as I know the Lord has placed me there with amazing co-workers, I get to be on campus with my daughter all day and I get a healthy discount in tuition!

The Lord has taught me so much patience and grace with my son, he was born with Down syndrome and later diagnosed with Autism. He is nonverbal and completely dependent on my husband and I. He is our miracle baby and our special treasure. Both of my kiddos are! I was born and raised in KY and am a constant guzzler of sweet tea!

Ruth 1:16 – By Amanda

I am so excited to get to know you over the next three months! I pray you will feel welcome and feel you can be open with us here. Our goal is to grow creatively in His word and share our creativity. Blessings!!!!

Here’s Amanda’s design using our Ruth Vintage Camper Bible journaling Kit.

Rebecca Burnsworth

Meet Rebecca

Hi Everyone! My name is Rebecca. Everyone calls me Becca. I have been married for 16 years and have two boys and one step-daughter. I have two fur babies as well. I currently work from home for a hospital-based out of Cleveland, Ohio. I talk to patients on a daily basis and love my job.

I have been Bible journaling since about 2015 or 2016. I love to do pages in my Bible and love to share them everywhere. I was saved when I was 8 years old and have been following Jesus ever since! I am so excited for this opportunity and hope to bring great ideas to the group as well as others in the Bible journaling community!

Lori Lauman

Meet Lori

Hi! My name is Lori Lauman. I’m from Charlotte NC and very excited to be a part of this crew!!

I discovered bible journaling several years ago after the tragic death of my big sister. I had some scriptures written in her beautiful, loopy handwriting that I wanted to preserve. So I decorated them in a journal- then in my bible. That’s when I discovered that bible journaling was actually a thing! Being creative in God’s word helped me tremendously through the grieving process.

I have been married for 23 years and we have 2 daughters in college and a son in his last couple of years in high school. My full-time career is in accounting and finance, but since I’ve discovered my creative side, all I want to do is paint and create!!

Ephesians 2:8

Here’s Lori’s design using our Ephesians 2:8 – Creative Faith Crew Bible journaling Kit in her planner.

Cathy Maher

Meet Cathy

Hello everyone!
I’m Cathy and glad to join our team here.

I am originally from the East Coast and still consider myself a Jersey Girl and boardwalk lover. Moving to IL at age 14, I tried very hard to keep my beautiful accent. But it’s no longer detectable. I talk like a Chicago lady!

I’ve been married to Joe since 1995 and between us we have a total of 12 grandchildren, with two more on the way. We have plans to retire in a year and relocate to Tuscan so we can be closer to some of his kids and grandkids out there. I’m so excited, can hardly wait.

I’m a BIG cat lover and up until this year, we had three lovable cats who graciously allowed us to share their home. Two of the cats were getting old and became ill. We lost both of them within a couple months. I didn’t want “Bubbie” to be a lonely cat so we adopted a little boy kitten to keep her company. Unknown to us, “Charlie” was born with liver dysfunction and we lost him after 9 months. It was a difficult time, but the Lord has settled my heart with Bubbie and my joy is complete once more.

Jeremiah 17:12-13

I started Bible Journalling around two years ago. I can’t recall where I first heard about it, but I dove right in. Now I have too many Bibles to count! I have grown and learned a lot since then and I know it will always be a part of my life. I haven’t been very active on other social media but i anticipate more now.

Here’s Cathy’s design using our By the Well Bible journaling digital stamp.

Jeremiah 17:12-13 The Lord is a Fountain of Life. We are warned not to abandon Him or turn away.

Justine Dandrea

Meet Justine

Hi my name is Justine I live in Palm Bay FL with my husband and two younger children. I have 4 kiddos all together 23, 21, 14 and 10. My 21-year-old daughter has blessed me with two wonderful grandbabies. Addie and Noah! I love being a Mimi!!

It amazes me when I think about the journey God has me on and how I got to FL.
In the last two years, He has blessed me with a wonderful Women’s Ministry. We were in an art studio but had to close it. We were all sad but God has a plan and I believe that plan is to bring the ministry to the www. God is stretching and molding me. 😊

Genesis 1:1

I enjoy teaching bible journaling as well as faith art, painting, and paper crafting.

Here’s Justine’s design using our Genesis Kit in the Momentum Bible journaling program.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

Felicia Smith

Meet Felicia

I am a new Christian as of 5 years ago and was introduced to Christ through my (at the time) 12-year-old daughter and the Bible journaling community. I have never been one to be interested in opening a bible until I found a way to illustrate my readings for better understanding.

What is Bible journaling to you and why is it important to you? I am not good at memorizing so being able to flip through a page and see the art helps me relate to the Scripture.

Here’s Felicia’s design using our Psalm Kit in the Momentum Bible journaling program.

Psalm 16:11

Psalm 16:11 – You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Joyce Darr

Meet Joyce

Hi everyone, I’m Joyce Darr a wife of 19 years to a good Godly man who accepted my children as his own, mother of two beautiful young women and grandmother of 4 soon to be 5.

I started Bible Journaling December of last year, so I am still new and learning so much. I can say without a doubt that these past 9 months has enriched my quiet time and walk with my Lord and Savior.

I am excited to be on this journey with all of you and super excited to see how the Lord is going to use us and the ministry.

DeJaniera Little

Meet DeJaniera

Hey there. I’m DeJaniera and I began bible journaling this year. In fact, I purchased 100 Days of Bible Promises and fell in love with all the beautiful bible pages. I’m planner obsessed and I wanted to expand my hobby a bit. Sooo…I purchased some watercolor, gelatos, stencils and other stuff I didn’t need and went all in. I love it!

Anyway, I am from Philly (home of the championship EAGLES). I have a grown son who won’t leave my house ( I secretly love having him around). I have 5 little doggies who are named after famous jazz artists and actors. I’m a Realtor and selling homes is a passion. Oh and I also love sweet tea!

Here’s Dejaniera’s design using our The Wind Blows Bible journaling kit.

John 3:3-8

John 3:3-8 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. ⁶That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Natalie Zeller

Meet Natalie

I am a born & raised Kentuckian (so, yes sweet tea is a staple here too), and I’m married to my high school sweetheart. We have two sweet rambunctious boys, Hunter (5) and Zachary (2). They keep me pretty busy! I am blessed to serve as a preschool teacher at the school my boys attend, and I love being able to see them throughout their day and watch them interact and grow with their friends!

I’ve been journaling for about a year and a half, thanks to my sweet friend Amanda. She introduced me to this wonderful world ❤️ I am excited to share and grow.

Here’s Natalie’s design using our Haggai kit in the Momentum Bible journaling program.

Haggai 1:5-6

Haggai 1:5-6 Now, therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: Consider your ways.You have sown much, and harvested little. You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes.

Penny Whittemore

Meet Penny

Hi! I’m Penny. I’m a pastor’s wife, mother, homeschool instructor, junk journal artist, and a lot more. I have one fur baby too.

Isaiah 26:9

Here’s Penny’s design using our Seek You digital stamp

Isaiah 26:9 My soul yearns for you in the night; my spirit within me earnestly seeks you. For when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

We hope you enjoyed meeting the first Creative Faith Crew Bible journaling design team and can’t wait to share more with you.

What is Faith Art Journaling?

I spent this week focused on the Word by faith art journaling. Although I used Scripture in my faith art, it’s not necessary.

What is Faith Art Journaling?

Faith art journaling is an expression of your faith through art. It’s like Bible journaling but in an art journal, notebook, or other books. It’s a form of worship designed to inspire you and encourage you to build a relationship with your Savior.

Like Bible journaling, there are no rules. However, you’ll typically be thinking of things mentioned in Philippians 4:9. “whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

When I’m working in my faith art journal, I’ll typically work on a verse. However, it’s not required! The only thing that’s required is a heart for the Lord. It’s like a love letter, but written with a paint brush and may not necessarily include words or Scripture. Sometimes it just includes marks or paint splatters. As long as I’m thinking of things related to my faith, I’m faith art journaling!

How is Faith Art Journaling Different than Bible Journaling?

Faith art journaling is different than Bible journaling in a few ways:

Bible journaling is typically done inside of a Bible. Faith art journaling is typically not done in a Bible.
Bible journaling requires a verse that one considers prior to journaling. Faith art journaling does not always consider a verse.
Bible journaling sometimes leads to an in-depth study of a particular Scripture.

I use the word typically a lot, because again…there are no rules.

How is Faith Art Journaling Similar to Bible Journaling?

There are many similarities between the two art forms. They both:

Provide a means for expressing your faith
Are a form of worship
Help build your relationship with God
Bring joy, peace, and healing
Typically improve other areas of life including relationships, prayer life, and health

The benefits of faith art journaling and Bible journaling outweigh the costs. You can start either methods typcially with what you have on hand.

Faith Art Journaling Examples

Here are some of the faith art journaling entries I did this week. I used the margin elements that were left over from my Momentum printables. I don’t like to waste anything so I’ll often make bookmarks, cards, or place extra stickers in my planner. But, for today…I played with my art journal. I have to tell you that it’s such a freeing feeling and helps me de-stress after a long day. I hope you enjoy my examples!

James 1:2-3

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.

Faith Art Journaling James 1:2-3

Ezekiel 4:7-9

And you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm bared, and you shall prophesy against the city.And behold, I will place cords upon you, so that you cannot turn from one side to the other, till you have completed the days of your siege.

“And you, take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and emmer, and put them into a single vessel and make your bread from them. During the number of days that you lie on your side, 390 days, you shall eat it.

Faith Art Journaling Ezekiel 4:7-9

Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Faith Art Journaling Hebrews 11:1

Genesis 1:1

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

Faith Art Journaling Genesis 1:1

Romans 10:17

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

Faith Art Journaling Romans 10:17

Haggai 1:9

You looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why? declares the Lord of hosts. Because of my house that lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house.

Faith Art Journaling Haggai 1:9

Matthew 17:20

He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”

Faith Art Journaling Matthew 17:20

As you can see, faith art journaling is extremely simple. Of course, you can go into more detail and spend hours on a piece. That’s totally ok! I have quite a few pieces that I’m working on, but on most days I just want to keep things simple. Do you have a faith art journal? How do you use it? I’d love to know in the comments below!

Have Courage: 7 Ways to Tackle the Giants in Your Life

Courage is considered by some to be one of the most important human virtues. Having courage is sometimes easier said than done. Learning how to be courageous, even if it’s just to ask for a well-earned promotion, doesn’t mean an absence of fear. It means feeling the fear and taking action anyway. Life requires courage. Unfortunately, a lot of us lose sight of its importance, meaning, and power.

Have the Courage of a Lion

Whenever I’m fighting the challenges that make me fearful, the story of the Cowardly Lion comes to mind. You see, the poor lion was faced with the biggest challenge of his life in the forest he had called home for so long. He was filled with feelings of shame a guilt because of his perceived cowardice. Yet somehow, along with his friends, he pushed forward bravely and set out to save Dorothy and Toto. With a little helpful guidance from the Wizard of Oz he conquered his fears in a burst of courage, fearlessly taking on the wicked witch. The lesson here? Courage isn’t the absence of fear, it’s taking action in spite of it. Keep in mind, you don’t need to wait to have courage. You can have it every day, in every situation.

Here are seven ways to have courage every day and tackle the giants in your life.

1. Consider Your Perspective

Are you looking up at a giant or is the giant too close to you to really tell if it is one? Take a step back and change your perspective to get a good idea of what you’re dealing with. Maybe it’s not so big after all. Maybe it’s smaller than you think. Keep this in mind – in most cases, FEAR is really “False Evidence Appearing Real”.

2. Consider Probabilities

Isn’t it unlikely that the worst thing you’re imagining is going to come to fruition? In most cases, our minds make things seem larger than they truly are. Do some research and arm yourself with information. What happens if your fears become reality? Step through each fear.

Ask yourself, is it likely to happen?
If so, what might happen?
How will I, with God’s strength, tackle the issue?

You’ll probably find that you can live with the outcome and that the outcome you imagine is not likely to happen. If it is likely to happen, prepare yourself and keep reading.

3. Understand the Source of Your Courage

To participate fully in life you need to know the source of your courage. How do you find courage when fear towers over, threatens you, and makes you feel like cowering and fleeing? The answer is God. Have confidence in God’s promises and ability to fulfill them. Know the source of courage; God is the source (Samuel 17:45).

4. Put on Your Armor

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. – Ephesians 6:11 (WEB)

Protect yourself from fear with the Armor of God. Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Prepare for battles today, especially when you know for certain they are coming. With God by your side, you can overcome any obstacle.

5. Don’t Worry About What Others Think

There are always going to be people who try to force their opinions on you. While you should listen, and consider wisdom from your mentors and others whom you look up to, it’s important to understand where they’re coming from and what their motivations may be. Are they looking out for you? Are they fearful of the outcome?

If David would’ve heeded his brother’s chastising or listened to Saul’s advice, he may not have faced Goliath (1 Samuel 17:28 – 30). Instead, he pursued his plan. He knew he had God in his corner. Plus, he was prepared. He had the right armor for the job and was skilled at slinging; likely having practiced many times while protecting his flock.

6. Unify with Other Believers

There’s nothing quite as inspirational as surrounding yourself with positive, like-minded, supportive people, including fellow believers at your church or in your community. When you unify with other believers, you collectively experience the ultimate source of courage, God’s love.

7. Trust in God

If you find yourself stuck in a fearful state, the most important thing to do is give yourself to God. Trusting in God is a critical factor that moves you from barely surviving to flourishing. Trust God and know the battle is already won (John 16:33). Don’t wait until everything is perfect. Prepare for the battle you know is coming and be ready for the ones you don’t anticipate. Step out in faith and have courage every day.

1 Samuel 17:45

Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

Illustrated Faith Revival Camp September 2018

I just finished the last Illustrated Faith Revival Camp Devotional Kit and it’s a bittersweet victory.

I really enjoyed having the camp experience at home without the expense of a normal camp program. At the end of the three months, I was left with hours of time with the Lord and three really cute traveler’s notebooks that adorn my shelves. To learn how to make the traveler’s notebook, click here.

If you’d like to support our ministry with your purchase of this kit, please use our link: http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-8285507-13398390 and use code: MERRY10 FOR $10 OFF $10 until 9/23/2018 OR code: IFSHIPSFREE for free US Shipping.

Unboxing the Illustrated Faith Revival Camp 2018 Devotional Kit

When the box came to the house, I immediately ran into the studio to unbox it. Here’s what was included:

Kit Contents

1 camp sticker
3 2″x2″ embroidered patches with a cloth bag
1 washi tape in pink and plaid – so cute!
1 4″x6″ sheet of clear stamps
Acetate butterflies
1 sheet of die-cut pieces
3 devotionals
1 surprise ‘Trail Mix’ from Shanna
1 thank you card from Shanna
Packaged in a box with pink tissue and sticker

The Review and Bonus Tutorial

Here’s the review and bonus tutorial on how to save money on digital prints. My favorite thing about this kit was the butterflies! I loved stapling them on my traveler’s notebook and having them look like they were ready to take off. I used all of the butterflies as well as most of the die cuts this month. Yay! I love when I can use almost the entire kit!

Illustrated Faith Revival Camp September 2018 Samples

Revival Camp was a great opportunity to take some time out for me over the last three months. Here’s a peek inside my traveler’s notebook. I used the trail mix bag as an envelope to keep the paint card safe.

Seven Kinds of Worship

I enjoyed learning about seven kinds of worship in Tamara’s devotional this month. It was fun trying to pronounce the Hebrew words.

Illustrated Faith Revival Camp September 2018 – Seven kinds of worship

1 Peter 4:10

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.

This is one of my favorite verses. I use it in my emails as a reminder to myself and to others to be good stewards.

Illustrated Faith Revival Camp September 2018 – 1 Peter 4:10

2 Corinthians 12:9

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Illustrated Faith Revival Camp September 2018 – 2 Corinthians 12:9

Finishing Revival Camp

I think Revival camp is a perfect way to spend some time in the Word and would definitely do it again next year. Time to close the books on this and look forward to the next few months of grace and gratitude.

Illustrated Faith Revival Camp Devotional Kit August 2018

I just finished month two of the Illustrated Faith Revival Camp devotional kits. This month I was a little bit behind because the kit was shipped to my old address.

Illustrated Faith Revival Camp Devotional Kit

After waiting a couple of weeks, I decided to take a drive back to my old house and meet the buyers. They were so nice and even gave me a few tiles that I accidentally left behind. They handed me my package(s) – yes there were multiple packages that accidentally shipped to them and they apologized for not getting to the post office soon enough. No worries! It happens.

Anyway, as soon as I got home I started working on the kit. This one was super fun too! I decided to continue my progress in a traveler’s notebook like last time. I think they’re fun to work with and they sit nicely together with all of the patches poking out from the top. To watch the video on how to make them, scroll down to the bottom of this post.

What’s Included in the Illustrated Faith Revival Camp Devotional Kit August 2018

1 camp sticker
4 2″x2″ embroidered patches with cloth bag
1 washi tape
1 4″x6″ sheet of clear stamps
Stickers
1 sheet of die-cut pieces
4 devotionals
1 surprise ‘Trail Mix’ from Shanna
1 thank you card from Shanna
Packaged in a box with pink tissue and sticker

Unboxing the Illustrated Faith Revival Camp Devotional Kit

I went ahead and unboxed it during our Facebook Live Bible journaling family meeting. Forward to the 25-minute mark to see it.

Illustrated Faith Revival Camp Devotional Kit August 2018 Examples

Here are a few of the completed pages for the month. I spent more time reading the Bible than completing the art, but that’s totally the point! My pages may not be museum quality, but I hope they make God smile.

Matthew 7:24

“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

Illustrated Faith Revival Camp Devotional Kit Matthew 7:24 – I used the extra pages in my traveler’s notebook to document a trip with my sons.

Isaiah 41:10

fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Illustrated Faith Revival Camp Devotional Kit Isaiah 41:10

Psalm 119:133

Keep steady my steps according to your promise, and let no iniquity get dominion over me.

Illustrated Faith Revival Camp Devotional Kit Psalm 119:133

Psalm 37:5

Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.

Illustrated Faith Revival Camp Devotional Kit Psalm 37:5

James 1:5

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

Illustrated Faith Revival Camp Devotional Kit James 1:5

Wrapping up Revival Camp

There’s nothing like wrapping up a day at camp with a kayaking trip. Me and the boys had a blast out on Canyon Lake. I even enjoyed bouncing along the waves.

It was fun documenting our trip to the lake in my traveler’s notebook.

Let’s Make a Revival Camp Traveler’s Notebook

Here’s the video on how I made the traveler’s notebook.

Bible Journaling the Gospel of Matthew

This week I’m Bible journaling in the Gospel of Matthew. I started with an overview of the entire book in my art journal. I find it helpful to understand each book of the Bible and map it out this way before diving deep into the corresponding chapters. Then I Bible journal in my favorite Scriptures or ones that I’m trying to dive deeper into and study.

I’ve listed a supply list at the bottom of this post. Please note that if you purchase anything with links, you’ll be supporting our ministry at no additional cost to you. Thank you!

An Overview of the Gospel Of Matthew

In my overview, I’ve written the title in the middle and placed some information about the author and interesting facts in the upper corners of the page. On the next third of the page, I’ve written down key points, important passages, and themes. At the bottom third, I’ve added key actions, points, things that call to me, or things I want to remember about my Bible journaling time. I find this is a great way to get an overview of any book of the Bible and it makes it fun to reference later.

An Overview of the Gospel of Matthew

After I’ve completed an overview, I start Bible journaling and referencing the overview when I need to. I don’t always do the overview. Only when I’m studying and focused on a particular book of the Bible for a decent amount of time. I should probably do this more!

Bible Journaling the Gospel of Matthew 19:26

But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Matthew 19:26

Bible Journaling the Gospel of Matthew 20:16

So the last will be first, and the first last.

Matthew 20:16

Bible Journaling the Gospel of Matthew 5:16

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 5:16

Bible Journaling the Gospel of Matthew 3:17

and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

Matthew 3:17

Bible Journaling the Gospel of Matthew 25:40

And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

Matthew 25:40

Bible Journaling the Gospel of Matthew 24:44

Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

Matthew 24:44

10 Ways to Find Joy in Every Season

Joy is defined as a feeling of great pleasure and happiness. However, unlike happiness, joy is a consistent state of hope, confidence, and contentment. It can occur during challenging times and can simultaneously exist with sorrow (2 Corinthians 6:10).

Unfortunately, life gets in the way, making it difficult to feel joyful. How do you find joy when you’re rushing to work, dealing with a challenge you’re not sure you can overcome, or going through a distressing transition? Even the most devote followers sometimes lose their joy. That’s why it’s so important to be connected with God through the Holy Spirit and powered by His Word. Here are ten ways (in no particular order) to be joyful Christian that will help keep you centered, especially when you’re not feeling it.

1. Read God’s Word

Feelings of discouragement and stress are not conducive to joy. When you feel yourself giving into a sense of hopelessness, make reading God’s Word your first response even if you’re not sure where to begin. Simply open your Bible and ask the Lord to guide you to a passage that will help restore your joy.

If we love the Word, we’ll find great joy and comfort in reading it (Psalm 119:111).

2. Spend time with Him in Prayer

God is the source of Joy (Psalm 16:11). It makes sense that if you want to have more joy, that you seek it from the source. True happiness and authentic joy can only be found in God’s presence. Get in the habit of praying daily, and you’ll feel joyous in no time.

3. Be in a Community with Others

There is true power in gathering together with other like-minded Christians. The relationship that we have with fellow believers unites us, and we are called to lift each other up (1 Thessalonians 5:11). Through fellowship, volunteer service, prayer, and worship, you’ll find your joy restored. If you can’t find a community nearby, consider starting one. You don’t need to be a biblical scholar to get a few people together to praise and worship our Lord.

4. Pay Attention

Pay close attention to those you surround yourself with. It’s good to have all types of friends, but make sure you’re surrounding yourself with ones that you want be like. If the friends you’re spending most of your time with live in a state of self-induced negativity, don’t believe in the Lord, or are generally judgmental people, you’ll find some of it rubs off on you even if you have your guard up. It’s important to take a step back and assess who contributes or hinders your joy. You don’t need to cut them off completely, but you should be aware of how they impact you at a minimum.

5. Be in Tune with the Holy Spirit

Find a quiet place where you can peacefully reflect whether it’s through meditation, prayer, or just sitting still and opening your mind. Make time to tune in to the Holy Spirit. You’ll be surprised by how much better you’ll feel and how much more at peace you’ll be.

6. Share the Good News about Jesus

While some feel a sense of social awkwardness when it comes to talking about spirituality, it’s one of the best ways to bring joy back into your life. Sharing the good news about Jesus can be life-changing for those who hear- hence a restoration of joy.

Jesus said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” John 20:21 ESV.

7. Help Others

There’s nothing quite like the joy of helping others. Whether it’s donating to your favorite charity, volunteering, and being kind. Doing good is its own reward. Most people that make it a point to help others say they do it because it makes them feel great. Helping others is also a powerful way to give back in thanks for all the blessings you’ve received in life.

8. Give

It seems counterintuitive to give stuff or money away and expect to feel joyful, but I promise you it’s not. God loves a cheerful giver (1 Corinthians 9:7) and there’s even scientific evidence that He hard-wired it in our brains so that we would experience joy in doing so.

9. Worship God

Worship is critical because it’s the key to God’s presence. When we worship God, we forget about what’s going on in our lives and place our focus on Christ. Sing a hymn, dance on the sidewalk, play your instrument in His honor. It is during these times that we truly experience His presence.

10. Bible Journal

Joy is most complete when it’s expressed in worship, whether it’s through prayer, giving to others, or in a creative way like Bible journaling. Bible journaling is an artistic way to enrich your spiritual life. Journaling is about growing in the Word creatively, and often those who engage in it deepen their joy instantaneously. As you unleash your creativity on the pages, inspired by scripture, you’ll feel your heart fill with joy too.

You can be joyful every day and in every season. But it does take practice. Consider doing one or more of these items each day and experience how life-changing staying connected to God can be. It will dramatically impact how you feel, lifting you up and preparing you to receive pure joy and happiness.

What are other things you can do to be more joyful?

Psalm 51:12

Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.

Joining the A Joyful Heart – Bible Journaling Study Psalm 51:12

John 15:11

These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.

Joining the A Joyful Heart – Bible Journaling Study John 15:11

Psalm 1:3

He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.

Joining the A Joyful Heart – Bible Journaling Study Psalm 1:3

2 Corinthians 6:10

As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.

Joining the A Joyful Heart – Bible Journaling Study 2 Corinthians 6:10

Psalm 16:11

You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Joining the A Joyful Heart – Bible Journaling Study Psalm 16:11

Jude 1:24

Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy.

Joining the A Joyful Heart – Bible Journaling Study Jude 1:24

Nehemiah 12:43

And they offered great sacrifices that day and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; the women and children also rejoiced. And the joy of Jerusalem was heard far away.

Joining the A Joyful Heart – Bible Journaling Study Nehemiah 12:43

1 Peter 1:5-8

Who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Bible Journaling with No-Bleed Pens and Markers

Searching for the perfect no-bleed pens for Bible journaling? I’m with ya! I’ve been longing for a great pen or marker that doesn’t bleed through thin Bible pages. In fact, I was over-the-moon excited when a friend of mine introduced me to the Pilot Frixion pen the other day. I was so excited that I placed an Amazon order immediately and they arrived at my house that very same day. I ripped opened up the bag and tested the pens in my Bible and they worked perfectly! They didn’t bleed through my thin Bible pages and they also erased with ease. It’s like magic!

Except, it’s not magic. It’s a chemical reaction that causes the change in color.

Are No-bleed Pens Good for Bible Journaling?

I can pretty much make any pen bleed through a Bible journaling page with just a little bit of saturation of the page. But, the Pilot Frixion pens don’t bleed through unless I work hard at it. The problem with these pens isn’t related to bleed through. It’s that they aren’t good for paper. Here are the major downfalls:

Not Acid-Free: The Pilot Frixion marker is not acid-free. Pilot specifically warns against using them on legal documents. The dye that’s used changes color upon reaction with acids. The friction that heats up the page while you erase causes the temperature-sensing compound to activate the acid compounds, thus neutralizing the dye and making the ink disappear. Why is acid-free important? Click here to read more:
Disappearing Ink: The ink will disappear at temperatures of 140 degrees or higher. But don’t worry, you can put your Bible in the Freezer and bring back the color effortlessly. The upside to this is that you can write something in your Bible that you don’t want others to read.

Overall, I don’t recommend using these pens in your Bible. Ulitmately, the choice is yours. If you prefer them and don’t mind that they’re not archival, then by all means, use them.

What are the Best No-Bleed Pens for Bible Journaling

My favorite no-bleed pens for Bible journaling are actually paint markers. They’re called Posca Pens and are basically acrylic paint in a pen. They work well and rarely bleed through. My second favorite no-bleed pens for Bible journaling are gel pens. The gel allows them to stay on top of the page rather than soak into the page. However, I have had them bleed through the page.

Bible Journaling with No-Bleed Pens

Here are a few of the examples of Bible journaling with no-bleed pens.

Job 21:2

“Keep listening to my words, and let this be your comfort.

Job 21:2

Job 19:26

And after my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God.

Job 19:26

Acts 18:9-10

And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent,for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.”

Acts 18:9-10

Acts 7:48-50

“‘Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build for me, says the Lord, or what is the place of my rest?Did not my hand make all these things?’

Acts 7:48-50

Matthew 25:31

“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.

Matthew 25:31

Matthew 16:26

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?

Matthew 16:26

The decision to use Pilot Frixion pens in your Bible is yours to make. I think that I’ll skip them and pass the pens onto my kids. Perhaps they’ll find creative uses for them beside passing notes in class. Hopefully not in their planner since we’re in Arizona and it gets hot here. We don’t want them to miss any appointments due to dissapearing ink! What are other uses for these pens? I’d love to know in the comments below!
