You might get tired of hearing me say this but if you want to jump into Bible Journaling but are not ready to put your paintbrush or pen down on the page of a Bible, don't.
Use a journal, a pad of paper, a Project Life card, a Composition Book, whatever you are most comfortable creating in and when I say "creating," don't feel like you have to use watercolors, stickers, markers or paint. The most important habit that you want to create is spending time reading and learning. I believe that once that habit is formed, the rest will follow.
Personally, I spend my time EARLY in the morning. This was where I sat early in the morning in Florida and no pun intended, it was heavenly.
You might get tired of hearing me say this too but when I give God the first part of my time, He provides the time I need to get the things done that I NEED to get done. Does it mean I have to get up a bit earlier, yes, but for me, that works.
If you really want to develop a habit of Bible Journaling or just simply spending time being quiet, do it. Don't just say "I really want to" or "I really should." Just do it and see what happens...
