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
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:
NOTE: This is not a new workshop. Once you register, all of the content information, login, and password is automatically sent to you. It is yours to work on at your own pace for the rest of your life.
There is a tie for the #1 most asked question: "Do you have to do it in a bible/What if I don't have a Journaling Bible?? and here is my answer:
"The purpose of this workshop is two-fold. The first and most important part is to get deeper into the word so whether you create in a 2" margin of the Bible, in a journal, a planner, on a Project Life card, in your scrapbooking or on a plain ol' piece of paper, the key is that you are learning something or reminding yourself of something you might already know, just forgot to remember..."
okay, are you ready?
The workshop price is $19.00

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
