Documented Faith, You Tube and Yes, I Still Make Stuff

Hello end of March already ?!? 

Somehow 2019 began and it seems February and March slipped away at warp speed. So we are on the last week of March for DF 2019 and entering into a new month with a new word.  April's word is: SEEK

Documented Faith 2019

Week 14 3/31-4/6 

 

"You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13

 

 

NIV Notes:

God can be sought and found when we seek Him wholeheartedly. He pays attention to those who seek and call out to Him and we can be certain that He always hears and acts on behalf of those who love Him.

This weeks "Early Morning Coffee Talk" is posted over at YouTube and you can watch it here:https://youtu.be/FKR7TdpEuww

 

Lastly, yep..I still make things but have been a little less "share-ish" here and on social media because I have been arm wrestling again with the devil.  Once I realized that (which was only yesterday!) then I decided to show up a little more and will continue to be.  

I am working on the very last pieces of a brand new workshop that I will be teaching at my pal Jeanne Olivers next week in Colorado and let me say, it has been the hardest little project I have put together.  I have been stretched and uncomfortable but I know that is because I am teaching about creative freedom and how to practice through the process.  I can't teach you effectively if I haven't walked the walk. 

 

Okay, that's all I got for now.  Have a great day!

Documented Faith, YouTube and Revelation Wellness

This past Monday I started leading the second group going through The Wellness Revelation Book Study Online. After the call I was overflowing with joy for the adventure we are going to be on together and just about an hour later, I saw the photo below for the first time.

 

It was the last night of the Intense 5 day Revelation Wellness Instructor training, it was late, I was exhausted and well, you know me and nights..I like to go to bed, not to parties!

Here is the thing, we were all exhausted, emotionally wrecked in the best way and praising that is not about us, it's about God.

As you can tell by the look on my face (and on Jeremiah's face behind me to the right) we were celebrating all that God had given us throughout the week and preparing for us to go out and stay free and set others free!

 

I am able to do that by leading The Wellness Revelation Bible and Book Study. 

It is an honor to walk along side the ladies who have shown up, stepped forward and are ready to surrender and experience the freedom of transformation through The Wellness Revelation online book study and I invite you to get your name on the list for group three that will begin Monday, May 20.

What I Learned This Week & DF 2019 Week 12

I opened up my Journaling Bible this week for the first time in a very long time.  It is not that I haven't been Documenting my faith, but have been doing it in a Moleskine Journal. It is my favorite journal and that is why last June, I quietly went back to it.

This week through my Revelation Wellness Leadership study I learned what and where JOY is. If you caught my IG Live "blah, blah,blah's" then you know what I am talking about.

Since June, I have been documenting, doodling, taping in things and rarely sharing to get back into the WHY of Documenting my faith.

It wasn't about what product I was using or even what verse I was focussed on. It was all about what God was talking and teaching me and what I was learning.

It was NOT about social media and when I consciously made that declaration to myself on June 28, 2018 EXACTLY SEVEN DAYS LATER I lost my entire Instagram account, posts and followers. In fact, prior to realizing that my account had been hacked, I wrote that day: Stop Striving, start Surrendering"

What I was reminded of this week is why it is so important to WRITE THINGS DOWN. It doesn't have to be fancy, embellished or what you would consider "social media worthy." 

 

Documented Faith 2019 - Week 12

 

Week 12 - 3/17-3/23

TRUTH: God is our strength

^" Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God,   the Creator of the ends of the earth.He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord  will renew their strength.They will soar on wings like eagles;  they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Is 40:28-31

Jumping for Joy in my Journaling Bible

This morning I opened up my Journaling Bible for the first time in a VERY LONG TIME.

It is not that I haven't been journaling and documenting my faith, but I thought I'd lost the love for doing it in my Journaling Bible.  I had been doodling, journaling, coloring and documenting for almost 4 straight years and along the way, I got tired of armwrestling with myself having to use the product as part of my Bible Journaling. NOTE: please do not misunderstand me. This has nothing to do with all of the great product out there, just my experience of how hard it was for me to stay aligned with the PURPOSE over the product.  I believe it is what is called marketing and well, if you have known me for any amount of time, I am a terrible marketing person when it comes to getting to buy something, especially when it is something that I have created. NOTE AGAIN: I am working on this.

Looking back and re-reading what I typed above,  I had the same exact experiences with ALL of the other creative endeavors I have been part of in the creative industry.  I just realized that right now as I typed.  In order for me to be and stay authentic in what I create, I have to be me. (psst...the same goes for you but you gotta get to that place.  I will continue to remind you, though)

Here is the good news and what I learned today: finding JOY has nothing to do with me and everything to do with WHO joy comes from.

gulp.

I mean, I know that, but I forgot to remember that. 

dang it.

That is why it is so important to write things down. 

Thats where the Journaling Bible comes in.  Long story short, I am re-learning about what JOY is (because apparently, I forgot) and things in my head and heart clicked this morning as I was doing my Bible study and homework. Part of the assignment was to look up a list of verses based on the word JOY. In the NIV translation, the word JOY comes up 218 times in 210 verses.  That is a LOT of JOY! I was just going to read a few and I just kept reading and reading and man was I reminded of what JOY really is and WHO is comes from.  

Thats when I got up, went and grabbed my Journaling Bible and as I opened it, was filled with JOY.  My heart jumped...no pun intended...for JOY. I went to Psalm 28:7, read it again and then in the margin, rewrote the verse in the NIV translation and then again in my moleskine journal...

and then, really, I thought, re-launch the old Bible Journaling & Lettering Online Workshop and mark it down.

so I did. (see, I am working on my marketing skills.) Please note this is the original workshop released a few years ago. The great things about it, it still applies today because it is NOT all about supplies and products.  

Here are the details:

Documented Faith 2019 Week 11

Week 11 3/10 – 3/16

TRUTH: God will never stop loving me  

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.    Romans 8:38-39
