•You don’t have to have highlighters, colored pens, or anything fancy to study God’s Word! Just grab a pen & go! 🤗 Simple black and white is just fine! 🖊 Remember, it’s not about being perfect but being present with the Lord! 💛 // #faith #christian #christianblogger #christianblog #faithblogger #bible #journalingbible #biblejournaling #jesus #godsword #notetaking #washitape
•My faith has been heavily tried these past couple months. I had little to no motivation to do anything for a whole week which is completely opposite of me. I’m a type 1 (the perfectionist/hard working/let me do it all) person so for me to WANT to do nothing was beyond myself. I went through a low, tough spot. It pushed me to seek God more and ask Him for guidance. I actually had to open up to my closest friends and family. When things go wrong, it’s plain to see how it affects me. I’m easy to read. However, it takes me longer to process my emotions and put them into words to express them. I also don’t like to burden people with what’s going on in my life. I am so grateful for my church family and my closest friends. God taught me to talk to strong believers and ask for them to pray for me. I know how SIMPLE this sounds, but I don’t like sympathy very much from others or feeling like a burden so it was a hard thing for me to do. Maybe you can relate? He pushed me to place my pride aside and talk about my feelings and what was going on. I don’t know what you may be going through. You could be up on a mountaintop or the lowest valley of your life. But don’t wait to get in the lowest valley to pray to God and give Him your burdens. Make sure you have trustworthy, strong believers surrounding you so you can reach out to them. As I have read in 1&2 Thessalonians the past two days, Paul asked for the people to pray for him AND he prayed for them. Repeatedly, he wrote in his letters how much of an encouragement they were to him. We have each other, we aren’t alone, and we are all bonded by the love of Jesus Christ. When you go back into a valley if you aren’t in one now, stay in check with your emotions. Of course, get it off your chest and tell the Lord about everything and how you feel but don’t forget about the people that God placed in your life who love you. 🌷🌼💐🌸 #countrymilefaith
•Check out my IGTV video: Bible Journaling Supplies! 📖🖊 What are YOUR favorite supplies? I wanna know because I wanna try more! When I first got my Journaling Bible, I was “skittish” about writing in it and scared to mess up. My perspective completely changed about writing in my Bible over time. I can’t pinpoint exactly when I decided that I needed to stop worrying about how perfect everything would turn out and just go with it, but I’m so glad I don’t worry about mistakes anymore. I have arrows that go everywhere, spelling errors sometimes, bleed through on my pages, and not the best handwriting especially when I’m trying to quickly write down what the preacher is saying! Now, I have more fun with it and am more creative! I was so much of a perfectionist. It’s neat to me how God even used how I was studying His Word to change my heart about being controlling over the little stuff in my life. I still am at times, but Bible Journaling has truly helped me grow in my faith, make connections throughout scripture, and reflect on what I’ve learned. 💛 // #countrymilefaith #faithblogger #bible #journalingbible #biblejournaling #faith #christian #christianblogger #christianblog #art #notetaking #biblestudy
•Unstaged photo of what everything ACTUALLY looks like when I study my Bible. Half of my kitchen table becomes covered in pens, post-its, and washi tape. 😆 I’ve branched out and started using colored pens instead of just a black pen and a highlighter. I’ve been using the Papermate InkJoy pens, and bought a small pack of Flairs to try! There is some bleed-through especially when I use the darker colors of the InkJoy pens, but I am enjoying the bright colors. The Flair pens are standing the test to have less bleed-through. Don’t be afraid to experiment! Do y’all have recommendations for highlighters? I need more. Also, I will be ordering Bible tabs next month! 🙌🏻💓 // #christian #christianblogger #biblejournaling #bible #biblejournal #journaling #notetaking #biblestudy #jesus #christianblog #bibleblogger #washitape
•In case you haven’t been told by anyone today.... YOU are beautiful, YOU are worth it, YOU have a purpose, and God loves you no matter what you’ve done.

•Snap a pic, choose a filter, write a caption, and you’re done.... Or you think you’re done until you’ve realized that your caption is what needed the filter. Do y’all see where I’m coming from? So let’s talk FILTERS. Transparency and “being real” with people is all the rage. I love being transparent and real, but it is VERY important to me to filter what I post and when. I choose to NOT post some personal issues or problems that I’m working through or where I am at an exact moment. We have control over our mouth and mind filters. • God will place a particular thing on my heart to post, and I will post it the majority of the time. The other times I am trying to FILTER GOD. Hmm. Interesting thought, isn’t it? “Hey, go talk to that kid over there.” No, I’m good. “Invite them to church.” No, they will think I’m weird and too outgoing. “Ask them if you can pray for them.” Sorry, but that is too outside my comfort zone, Lord. That’s a little crazy for me. “Help the lady with that bag at the grocery store.” I’m busy and have an appointment to make it to.😔 I’ve done this. I’ve filtered God, and it saddens me how I passed up opportunities to reach out to people and love them. But, God’s grace is sufficient. I’m so happy He doesn’t hold it against me, but of course, I regret all that I didn’t do for Him. • In your daily life, pay attention to the filters you’re placing on God. In the social media world, filters are cool, but filtering God isn’t. //#countrymilefaith #faith #bibleblogger #christian #christianblogger #biblejournaling #journalingbible #journaling #highlighters #bible #scripture #postits #foodforthought #fromwhereistand
