Documented Faith

Welcome to Documented Faith

This post is always here to welcome you if you are here for the first time, welcome you back if you are here for the 2nd year and to remind you of what Documented Faith is all about.

 

Q: What is Documented Faith?

A: It is a creative way to record, illustrate, document, journal and doodle the everyday moments, Bible verses, inspirational quotes and a growing relationship with Jesus and with others in a planner, binder, art journal, notebook, on a post it note or inside and outside the margins of a journaling Bible.

Q: Why Document My Faith?

A: To develop the habit of spending time reflecting, reading, worshiping, learning and memorizing God’s word in a creative way.

Q: How Do I start?

A: All you need to do is register your name and email so that you receive a weekly email. You can follow along each month with a specific focus word and weekly with a verse that coordinates with that word.  What and how you create is totally up to you.  Whether you journal, memorize, reflect,  create and/or apply the verse and word into your everyday life, the most important thing is that you are in the word.

It is always a key phrase we hear during this time of the year but now more than ever (at least on our lifetime) we need it.  We need Peace.  Peace in our home, in our communities, in our nation, in our world.

Week 47 Nov.15-21

Hello week 47!

47?!?  That is a crazy ENCOURAGING number of weeks we have been doing this and we are nearing the end of year one of Documented Faith 2015.  

I thought I had been pretty loud and clear about continuing on with this in 2016 but I get the question a lot, "Are you going to do Documented Faith next year?" and the answer is YES!  Details will be coming soon about how it will look next year BUT...as always, DF2016 is going to be just like this past year.  Weekly, monthly and FREE.

Continuing on with the word ENCOURAGE, here is a link to this weeks verse & message:  Download Week 47 November 15-21

Week 44 Verse and A Journaling Bible Traceable

Welcome to Week 44.  

 

This is our last week focusing on TRUST and I thought it would be fun to add a little lettering project.

To download this weeks verse, click here:  Download Week 44 October 25-31

To download a separate copy of the traceable, click here:  Download Documented Faith Week 44 traceable

Here is a photo step out of how I used the traceable in the margin of my Journaling Bible.

 

To use this traceable in your journaling Bible, simply fold the print out to fit underneath the 2” margin of your Journaling Bible. Trace with a pencil:

go over with a pen ( I use the Signo Uniball 207 Micro & Ultra Micro)

 

and then erase the pencil lines

Finish by adding lettering elements and shadows to enhance your verse.  

I always "highlight" the verse I am focusing on with light blue watercolor paint:

Week 43 October 18-24

Welcome to Week 43.  Here is this weeks verse:

All those who know your mercy, Lord, will count on you for help. For you have never yet forsaken those who trust in you. Psalm 9:10 Living Bible

God will never forsake those who seek him. To forsake someone is to abandon that person.  God’s promise does not mean that if we trust in him we will escape loss or suffering; it means that God himself will never leave us no matter what we face.
