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 eighth-grade girl who never forgets, our have-no-fear fifth-grade boy, and our joy-filled preschool girl. As we live out our stories, we seek God as the author of them all.

I recently read this suspense novel by @sandiejone I recently read this suspense novel by @sandiejones_author and really enjoyed it. I saw where some of the story was going, but there were surprises, of course! 

I’m always glad when a new-to-me author has more books for my never-ending to-read list. Which authors have you discovered lately?

Spring breathes new life right into my soul. I’m Spring breathes new life right into my soul. I’m always thankful when this season comes around, and not solely for the sunshine! In my book “Bringing Home More Than Groceries: Stories About Gathering & Nourishing People,” I open the spring section with this quote from author @shannanwrites.

In honor of this new season, I wanted to share another excerpt from my book. Join me on my porch that overlooks trees turning green, grass that needs to be mowed again, and the pool that’s waiting for someone to jump in.

I asked Greg what he wanted to do for his birthday I asked Greg what he wanted to do for his birthday (which is next week) and he said have friends over to play. So that’s what we did yesterday.

The birthday boy turning 43 soon, a few other husbands, and a bunch of kids played kickball and basketball. Us moms mostly talked and enjoyed the fact most of our people were engaged in community and activity. Of course, we ate well too.

It’s had been a long time since we had a party where multiple families mingled together on our porch, in our kitchen, and all around our property. We missed this, so good call on letting us your birthday as an excuse, husband.

Our Precept group went to @bidwellfamilyfarms this Our Precept group went to @bidwellfamilyfarms this morning. While us mommas discussed Acts 16-17, Scott took the kids on a tour of the farm. Truly, this group of women is a blessing for me and the effects ripple through my whole entire family. I’m so thankful for the way God knits people together.

I finished this book on Easter Sunday while laying I finished this book on Easter Sunday while laying in my hammock soaking in the sunshine. I liked the story enough, but sometimes young adult books baffle me with all the adult drama. These characters navigate young love, racial tension, and pains of growing up — of which some storylines were better than others. 

Maybe most importantly, this book got me back into reading on my Kindle. I like physical books, but I love the convenience, deals, and library of the Kindle. I always feel like I have to choose books or Kindle, but truth is I can have both.

Do you prefer Kindle or physical books? #KHTreads #booklover #kindlebooks #latergram #bookstagram #kindle #youngadultbooks

Until last spring, I always assumed the yellow fie Until last spring, I always assumed the yellow fields were goldenrod. I learned it’s canola plant — not our state’s flower that’s actually a weed that grows in the late summer and early fall. The seeds from these plants can be crushed to make canola oil and meal. 

Whatever it is, I think it’s beautiful. After the dreary colors of winter, it’s a lovely welcome to spring and a reminder of how new life sprouts right where we already are.

Spring Break was good to us. I’m having my usual Spring Break was good to us. I’m having my usual Sunday night mixed emotions - thankful for our time & adventures together as a family, eager to be productive in my quiet house, and sad everyone will head their separate ways tomorrow morning.
