Bible Journaling

Let me state the obvious, my Bible journaling that I share here on The Littlest Way is going to look differently than yours. Let me state another obvious, I am a total and complete beginner to Bible journaling. I am not overly artistic; I prefer word painting to mixed media and weaving sentences to sketching. Some days my Bible journaling may look more like a collection of verses strung together rather than an artistic interpretation of the verse read…that’s ok with me. That’s ok with God.

*August 17, 2016 Update: I’ve written a book, Bible Journaling Tips, Inspiration and Permission, to encourage and inspire you in your Bible journaling!

You see, I think Bible journaling is not so much about the finished product as it is the process. Sitting down with the Word of God is never going to be a waste of time and not all art that comes from time spent with the Word of God is produced on paper. Did you get that last part?

I may be able to share tips and tricks as I learn more about the physical act of Bible journaling. I will share my personal Bible journaling to encourage you or make you feel pretty good about your own self. But these will just be examples of what can be done…not what should be done. And if seeing my time spent using my journaling Bible encourages you, thanks be to God. On the other hand, if these posts discourage you, please stop reading them, they are not meant for you.

On this Bible Journaling page you will find a collection of posts that chronicle my time spent reading my journaling Bible. I have posted a One Year Bible Reading Plan I will be using in my Bible this year. If this plan is not for you, that’s ok…but find one that is…said in my best oldest sister voice.

These are the resources I determined would help me make daily Bible reading and Bible journaling a priority. They may not work for you. But please find a Bible and plan that does work for you if these don’t. Just like the art production is not the most important aspect of Bible journaling, neither is the particular plan or even Bible translation–although I suggest you choose a translation that most importantly includes all 73 books of the Bible.
