bible-journaling-kit-11-28-16
When I was asked if I wanted to review a Bible journaling kit, I knew I needed to say yes – and not so much for myself as my daughter, who is into all things involving pencils, pens, paper, words, crafts, and stickers. Of course, thankfully, she’s also into the Bible.

So, together, with my 9-year-old daughter, Cate, I bring you a review of the Bible Journaling Kit from Ellie Claire, a division of Worthy Publishing Group. And we’ll start with her words:

I like the pen because it doesn’t go through the pages. I also like the colored twist pencils because say you have words like “darkness” and “light,” then you can use different colors to make them stand out.

The stickers can label things for you. Like in the story of Nicodemus, you can use the sticker that says “fresh start” because he was born again. I like the sticker labels because they can mark special pages and you won’t have to go looking through the entire Bible for your favorite passages. The case can fit on most Bibles and it even has one of my favorite verses (Phil. 4:8) on it.

I like the idea of a journaling Bible because it’s like a notebook in the Bible. Then when you are reading something you can see your notes and reread them to have answers. This kit helps with that.

Cate also wanted to make sure I told you the kit doesn’t come with an actual journaling Bible, but I did recently buy her this one. And this kit works well with it!

About the product

Create a work of art on the pages of your favorite Bible as you draw, color, or journal your thoughts, dreams, and prayers. Highlight your favorite verses or the encouragements that speak to your heart with pencils, stickers, and tabs. Kit includes four sheets of word stickers, four sheets of alphabet stickers, 24 tab stickers, eight colored pencil twists, a journaling pen, a pouch with adjustable strap to fit Bibles of all sizes, and one ruled page protector mat with tracing lines.

You can buy this kit at Amazon as well as Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, and Christian Book Distributors.

    I do write in my Bible, underline, put stars by certain verses, etc. I quit highlighting long ago because it would always bleed through.

      I use the Bible on my phone so often now, but I have a Bible with margins, and I love writing notes & thoughts in there. I really should get back to that. I found some really great pens that are erasable AND don’t bleed. Win!

    I love her review and she has a great favorite verse!

    I usually use the app these days so I have lots of differently colored highlights but no doodles. I’d love to get into Bible journaling though!

      I use an app so much more too, but I do love my journaling Bible. I don’t get too creative, but I do like having room to write notes and thoughts.

    I keep wanting to get into Bible journaling but can’t seem to find the time. However, I’ve always enjoyed “traditional” journaling in addition to my Bible reading 🙂

About Me

Telling stories is my therapy and I love sharing them with friends on my porch.

The main characters in my stories are my entrepreneur husband, our high school girl who never forgets, our middle school boy who has no fear, and our joy-filled first-grade girl. As we live out our stories, we seek God as the author of them all.

I love summer. But my summer has started off busy: appointments, book edits deadline, establish new habits with the kids at home. All that’s necessary and good, it just cuts into my down time beside the pool. 

Today we have two open gyms for our basketball players, my book study with a few friends, a new weekly high school girls’ book study at our house, and a monthly dad-son character study. 

I long for a little more white space on the calendar, but I also wouldn’t change a thing because the kids are only 16, 13, and 7 once. This summer will only be this summer once. And I’ve already learned time flies with big kids. 

So here we are finding out footing, singing praises with church friends on our porch, grilling delicious chicken, and squeezing in the wide-open spaces when we can. This is evidence of the good stuff.

First of all, who else has read this book? The plo First of all, who else has read this book? The plot was promising as a thriller and the setting really worked. There were some good twists, and then there were ridiculous twists. I skimmed the end only because I wanted it to make sense. And it didn’t. It was too weird for me. 

But this made me wonder: how do we know if a book is going to be weird, contain elements we don’t like, or go places that don’t make sense? I don’t like to read much about a book before I read the book. Usually, I do a better job of picking books for myself.

On Mothers Day, I wanted to sit by the pool with a On Mothers Day, I wanted to sit by the pool with a book, but I didn’t know what I wanted to read. Whenever I have indecision about books, picking up a thriller usually helps because of the story’s pace. 

“The Only Survivors” worked well because there was a lot happening! Lots of creepy, mysterious moments. Only so many people could be guilty of infiltrating a small group who had lots of secrets! 

I loved the timeline of this one. The back story about an accident was told in seven one-hour segments. The present mystery was told in seven days.

Y’all we are very ready for summer. ☀️ And Y’all we are very ready for summer. ☀️ 

And when I say summer, I mean we are ready to shake up the routine, mentally regroup, turn off the alarms, establish some new habits, soak in the sun, and catch up with friends we’ve been crossing paths with too quickly. 

I want to savor the #84daysofsummer and I want to embrace this new season. And it’s almost time. Three more days of school. (Deep breaths.) 

Meanwhile, I’m going to keep collecting the moments — the hard, hurried, happy, and heartfelt. The seasons do change, but this is the life we are living. 

“The moments you collect may not be loud or flashy. They might be quiet or covered or a far-off view you were lucky to catch. But this I know to be true: A moment savored says to your soul, ‘You have lived something beautiful.’ And it keeps you buoyed. It sustains you when you’re running empty. It lifts you up and carries you forward.” — Joanna Gaines in @magnolia summer 2023 journal issue no. 27
