I don't want to be proud of what I have created. I want God to be proud of me for spending time with Him in His Word. I am not at all a creative person, but when I have leisure time, I use adult Christian Coloring Books. I only have to struggle with choosing colors and figure out how to shade flowers, etc. But when it comes to my Bible, I highlight, underline, and write notes. Yes, I use washi tape on occasion when I used to only use scotch tape. And, I have a color coding system I use, along with some symbols I picked up from some Bible Study classes I took using the Kay Arthur system. I watch videos by many creative women who have wonderful artistic abilities, which I admire. But I still prefer to focus on pleasing God first.

I believe we are all creative because we were created by an extremely creative God. The cool part is that our creativity shows up in different ways. Glad that you have a study process that is working for you 👍🏻
@slowbutscattered15675 ай бұрын
I Bible journal while I study. Having two different ways or books would not work for me. I add pages to my Bible and be creative while I learn. I do have a prayer journal as well but that is all I have. I think everyone does it differently but that is a good thing. God made us unique. I am thankful that I found your channel.

I study and journal at different times, however, sometimes when I’m studying or listening to a sermon, I may have an idea about how to journal that verse or passage so I make a note of that idea in my Bible. The more I journal, the more visual I become.

I have had my bible forever, I know I remember things by writing the main point of the passage. My bible is messy, I have misspelled words and never used special pencils and it is what ever color I had…I started using sticky notes when I had more I wanted to remember, my binding is starting to pull off….so although I don’t get to much into the craft part, I have added flaps now so the binding doesn’t have as much stress on it.
