[@Onnada]

I vote yes! Jump in! ❤

[@HoneyduckXD]

Omg let me know how that goes!!!

[@amethystgl]

I love the idea of adding the tassels to pages that specifically talk about tassels. Like the woman who touched the tassels of Jesus’s garment and was healed. 💕

[@leighasvideos]

“I don’t want to be too tassel-y”… Literally sews in a ribbon full of tassels into her bible 😂 💛 Faith, you and your little ministry have been such a blessing! Super relatable and encouraging. I love how it’s, first and foremost, about diving into the Word and INTERACTING with God’s Word, not just the froufrou artsy things. It’s purposeful and intentional and about honoring the Lord. 💛

Woah so cool to come back to these older videos knowing where your Bible is at now

[@bookhuggah]

The party aisle has bags that are made of paper and paper that can be cut down to make journal space or journal covers or other items to be reused. You don’t have to use things as intended to have fun taking notes. Well enjoyed this thank you!

[@SharitCreations]

I have store bought pompom paper clips book marks. It has a string through the pompom and slipped on the paper clip the same way. I am hooked on your channel. You have a gorgeous smile. Your parents picked the perfect name for you. I can tell you enjoy doing these videos with how your always smiling and your face lights up.

[@creatingitonedayatatime]

I LOVE the idea of sewing into my journaling Bible. Thanks for that great idea.

[@HowtoFaithALife]

Yes! So glad it inspired you!

[@ciannacoleman5125]

I love the ESV regular journaling Bible with the 2" notes margin. I then interleave sections as necessary with Tomoe River paper since it is comparable in weight to Bible paper. Personally I have used rubber cement along the paper edge to glue it in rather than sticking it to the opposite page but I may try that method for my next one.

[@bookhuggah]

Hi! I just used a small midori notebook for my BuJo since September through December. It was awesome and I was wondering how you go about finding the paper you use for your notes? I have bad memories of helping the 4th grade school librarians put in the card holders in new books with rubber cement and getting a migraine (looking back on it now I know it was the symptoms of that). Anyway I’m always inspired to see how things work for different people. Thanks for sharing

[@rebeccaly]

oh my i loooove these ideas!! I've done a few of them before already but you also gave me a lot of new ones! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@HowtoFaithALife]

[@nancyizzo2773]

Definitely enjoyed this video, but you mentioned something you did on the proverbs woman, and I would love to hear about that. Thanks for all you do!

[@bella-bee]

Instead of taping something in you could try what we call “Tipping in”. So cut it to size, or a hair’s breadth smaller, then get some pva glue and a small brush and gently apply a fine line of glue to the very edge. No more than 1/8”, less if you can manage. One way to achieve that is lay it down on some old newspaper or magazine, and put another waste sheet of paper over your insert, revealing just the bit that needs glue showing, then brush on, easy. Then open you book and offer it up and fix in. A ruler edge might help you firm it in.

[@rebekahmackenzie]

Thank you so much for this video! I just have a plain jane bible so writing notes and journaling can be tricky. Now I know to add pages! I loved the ribbon hack too. And for your question, I just calling the ribbons bookmarks but I don't know if that's correct. Praying your first few days back at seminary go well along with the whole semester! 💖

[@HowtoFaithALife]

Yay! I’m glad you got some ideas out of this one! Thank you for your prayers! I am actually nervous! Lol. I thought I was registered and now it looks like the paperwork wasn’t filed on their end so we are figuring that out last minute... praying that works out well... 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🙏🏻

[@rebekahmackenzie]

Oh no! Praying harder for you, friend! 💖🙏 I'm sure it will all work out. Oh and I forgot to tell you in my last comment that I liked what you wrote in the description that at the end of the day, it's not what our Bibles look like that matter but what we get out of the Word that does.

Great ideas! I love the way your Bible looks now! I'm afraid to do anything to my Bible in case I mess it up....I'm not very crafty and to top it all off, I'm a perfectionist, and so I drive myself crazy whenever I attempt anything....which is why I don't.....attempt anything....

How do you feel about the font size of your Bible? I really want an ESV Bible, but the font is smaller than I’m used to so I’m curious on your thoughts.😊 love your channel and I’m totally going to buy ribbon and add it to my bibles now lol

[@HowtoFaithALife]

It’s smaller than others but not too small. I actually never noticed until you asked just now! My bible doesn’t have HUGE margins, though... since it’s interleaved, so it’s not TEENY tiny font size. I feel like I am not making any sense! Lol... I’m no text size export, but I’d say it’s medium?! I’m so very flattered, thank you for your sweet words!!! ❤️

[@josephwomack4683]

They have nice looking ESV large print Bibles 👍🏼 I have a friend with one. I’m not sure about the margin space though....

[@bella-bee]

Font size can be a problem, but you could read in a larger text Bible or on your phone, and (only if you can afford another) settle for doing art work in a Bible you’re not actually reading. Is that awful? I mean some people paint all over the text and it’s not easily readable! I’m trying to say your arty Bible could be a place to express these things, but accepting that it’s not your reference and reading Bible. Using them in parallel.

[@davidrossman919]

[@simsationelle]

i tried this bible journaling and found out its a huge distraction. idk but i spend so much time obsessing over how cute my pages should look. sometime i feel like god is saying to stop and just read his word and understand it and meditate on it rather than making it pretty because if we are ultimately trying to be closer to god then who are we trying to impress you know! your ideas are absolutely beautiful! im just saying it can be such a distraction.. then we end up buying 30 bibles and still have a lackluster relationship. the bible will be pretty but god just wants us as we are
