•If you don’t think God can use YOU, check out how He used donkeys. Yes, donkeys. I remember this sermon like it was yesterday! Do y’all journal in church or just during your quiet time? 🧐 // #christian #christianblogger #bible #biblejournaling #journalingbible #biblejournaler #journaling #notetaking #jesus #scripture #faithblogger

•Go ahead and laugh at my ppl on the left side with a CENSORED sign over their bodies in my Bible but that was the only good way I knew to illustrate faith in action according to James! 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ James is the most practical book in the Bible to me and my FAVORITE. I find that it is straightforward, and there’s no guessing about what he is trying to get across. The things he challenges Christians to do are intense & difficult to apply at times such as patience (#thestruggle), backing up your words with actions, controlling your tongue and anger, and staying away from worldliness, lust, sin, and fleshly desires. I like that he leaves no gray areas. We should NOT linger in gray areas ourselves! If you’re standing in a gray area, you don’t know what side you’re on or what you believe. We need to be taking a stand, developing our belief for/against whatever it may be, knowing the WHY behind the belief, and being able to support it with scripture! These are times of trouble, and we are living in the “latter days.” Ppl are going to be asking the HARD questions like... “What do you think about abortion?” “How do you view gay marriage?” “What are your feelings about the wall going up?” “Do you think ppl should live together before they get married? Why/why not?” Regardless of where anyone stands on those issues above, the bottom line is that we all have an opinion. Not everyone is going to believe what we believe or what we KNOW is right, but please remember that we are to lead ppl to the Lord and that we need to be kind. We need to share our beliefs day in and day out and living out what we believe is extremely important BUT not forcing it down the throat of those who believe differently than we do. I didn’t expect this post to end up in this direction, but God knows what needed to be said here so yeah! On that note, know your stuff & be the best witness you can be for Jesus! I can hear myself stepping on toes with this post, haha! 😬 // #bible #biblejournaling #biblejournaler #journaling #journalingbible #christian #faithblogger #faithblog #christianblog #christianblogger #bibleart #notetaking #notes #jesus #scripture

•I am the most inconsistent when it comes to this account...but I am unashamed about it, so I am not going to apologize. 😂 If you ever feel like YOU HAVE to post to please other people then there’s the problem. My faith and relationship with God is the most important thing to me. I NEEDED and felt led to step back from this account b/c I was in a season of waiting, praying, and poring over scripture. I had to disconnect as this account is where I share my faith & my Bible, and I didn’t want to base anything off my emotions and what was going on! God just wanted me to “be still” with Him and just study His Word without taking pictures or editing photos or finding the perfect spot for my Bible to lay on. I think everyone especially when they are struggling or in the season of waiting should be still with God & disconnect! I also simplified my life to deleting two social media accounts that 1. I hardly used 2. Took up valuable time and was no longer useful to me//Although I LOVE Instagram and social media b/c it CAN be useful & a great outlet for sharing my faith, it CAN be destructive, toxic, & eat up your time if you aren’t careful. I highly encourage detoxes regularly! They will help you realign your priorities and be still with God! Note: I spelled Pison River wrong in the map I made, but it’s all good. 😉 // #countrymilefaith #bible #bibleblogger #faith #faithblogger #christian #christianblogger #journalingbible #biblejournaling #journaling #notetaking

•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
