My Four Favorite Colored Pencils For Scripture Writing And Bible Journaling

[@denisegormley1763]

I was praying this morning asking God to increase my creativity. After about an hour I decided to get on you tube for some inspirations. Your channel kept popping up, specifically your intro to scripture writing, but I didn’t think it applied to what I was specifically looking for. After scrolling and seeing that video several times I felt God was trying to show me something. So I clicked on it. I have never seen your channel on my home page before this morning. I have now watched all three of your videos in this series and I am so inspired and excited to do this. I love incorporating God’s scripture in my art but have never thought of doing this. Thank you for sharing your tips and being so inspirational. What a beautiful spirit and countenance you have! I agree that He cares about these things in our lives, and we have not because we ask not. And He will give to us what He knows will benefit us, not necessarily everything we ask for. I too am so grateful He is so loving that He filters our requests through His love and will for our lives. I have subscribed, clicked the bell for notifications, and hit like. So Glad God led me to your channel! May He continue to richly bless you and anoint you in His calling of your life.

[@thehomespunwife]

Hi Denise! Thank you for sharing about your experience that led you to my channel. That blesses my heart. I am so thankful God brought you my way and I'm excited for you, as you jump into Scripture Writing. The power of God's Word is unparalleled! It goes out and never returns void. I pray you will find joy in abundance as you start this endeavor. Thanks again for your kind words. Blessings to you!

[@bettyjo2737]

I started scripture writing the other day after watching your video. I am not into the art part of it yet, but when I do, I am going to try my hand at doodling or drawing along with it. Thank you for sharing your favorites with us! He is faithful even when we are not. Glory to God! I hope you are having a great day!

[@thehomespunwife]

Thanks for watching the video BettyJo! However you do your Scripture Writing, I know it's wonderful!♥

[@MDay-hh1bm]

Wonderful message! Such a BLESSING! Thank you so much! BLESSINGS to you!

I found a colored pencil box of 150 different colors by Crayola at Walmart. Great fun to use!!!!

[@thehomespunwife]

Yay!! That's exciting!

[@BevBrooks-i8w]

Good morning I just found your channel and I have subscribed! I am a born again spirit filled 72 year old woman of God!! I love Him I praise Him I am like you someone who prays and ask Him for everything. He cares and He gives in His time and in His way!!God bless you.

[@cindystrother7710]

THANK you so much for sharing all that awesome information 😊😊

[@heathersheartco]

I love that about being specific with prayers and why not? The worst God can say is not yet. But I always think of that verse that says “in all things by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God… That has inspired me to be specific about some thing I’m praying for with God but also keeping myself open and flexible.

[@thehomespunwife]

Absolutely! I had a friend who joined with us in praying once that God would provide a way for us to buy our first home. She prayed that the house would have a dishwasher because I had never had one before and my husband and I had 4 young children. We were very blessed indeed when God provided for us to buy a house with a dishwasher....but it was in a town almost 2 hours away. She told me, "I forgot to be specific in asking God to provide a house that was close to me." That comment always stayed with me. Thanks so much for watching!!

[@MariahxMariahh]

Amen!

Thank you so much for watching my video and leaving such a thoughtful comment!

[@marylounorth7750]

I found you the other day in my search for reading the Bible. I'm thoroughly enjoying your calm. I sent a video to my 95 year old Mom but it takes her awhile to reply. 😊 We're 1200 miles apart but she's able to attend Bible study at our church we have been members of for as long as she moved into her home. 75years I believe. I watched another video and I felt your 💔 pain as I live it with 2 sons. We have (since her birth) our 12 year old adopted granddaughter. We have absolutely no doubt we were guided by God when we took her home from the hospital. Our lives are rich with her love and happiness. You have a gift here with what you're sharing. Thank you. ❤

[@thehomespunwife]

Hi Mary! Thank you for telling me about yourself. How wonderful that your mom is able to enjoy her home and church at the age of 95. Praying blessings on you as you raise your granddaughter. Your thoughtful words mean so much. ♥

Yes! I learned that recently. Thank you for letting me know!

[@bobbiecalgaro5888]

You are so creative! With both your writing and your scripture writing! I also have just bought an inspire Bible and am enjoying coloring the verses.

I have been scripture writing since 2014….i bought the Castor colored pencils you recommended and Amazon has already delivered! I like them so much! His Word is alive and active! So glad I have found you last week!

[@thehomespunwife]

That's so exciting Sandra!! I am happy you like the pencils! Praise the Lord for your Scripture Writing.♥️

[@dianeensminger38]

I had never heard of scripture writing before. I have Castle Arts and Prismacolor pencils also for fun coloring and drawing. I like adding the scripture part. You could use calligraphy (there are lessons on youtube) to write the Bible verses.

[@thehomespunwife]

Calligraphy is so beautiful. But I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis when I was 38 and controlling my hand movements when gripping a pen can be a challenge for me. Even so, I keep going...just doing what I can manage and giving God the glory!

[@dianeensminger38]

@@thehomespunwife You wouldn't know that you have a illness that causes a problem writing because it looks even and steady.

@@annamcelfish2216 Thanks for watching, Anna!

[@krouse67]

You have inspired me! I decided to use index cards to scripture write on. I have a little 'recipe box' that is perfect to hold them. However, I didn't want to just 'create and store' them because it IS the word of God after all. I wanted to be able to pull certain ones out and view them so I made a little 'frame' out of a laminated birthday card that I had saved. It looks very 5th grade lol but I like it. Thank you, again, for these videos sweet lady. God bless ♥

[@thehomespunwife]

Oh I absolutely love your idea of having that laminated birthday card frame! That sounds perfect for displaying and changing out your Scripture Writing Index Cards! And there is nothing wrong with 5th grade...it was one of my best years and everything back then was simpler anyway!! Way to go, friend. I love your creativity. ♥

[@rhondamarble7684]

Hi Christal! It's wonderful to see you and I hope you are doing well. I do understand about wanting to get away from social media.

I got a special journal yesterday and started with Revelations 21:5 as you did. I've been a long time scrapbooker. I have everything I need for this project. Being creative and meditating is so good for me but I forget from day to day so writing it down will pull me in to focus. So glad that I found you on KZbin!

I have star joy gold brand pencils that I use for my scripture writing and they work amazingly. They’re around $30 on Amazon. I also use some water based markers I got at Micheal’s a few months ago that were like $16 and some fine liners by Shuttle Art and I’ve had them for years and don’t remember how much they cost.

[@thehomespunwife]

Hi Katie...Thanks for sharing about your favorite pencils and pens!

My all time favorite pencil sharpener is an older version of the Prismacolor sharpener.

[@robinagasson2724]

This is the first time that I have seen your channel, think that I was meant to watch it today. I have never done Scripture writing before, but I do adult colouring so I do have a number of sets of coloured pencils that include Castle Arts, Prismacolors and Crayolas. Would love to do some scripture writing after watching your video. I live in South Africa.

[@lisapitts9518]

I am a woman that enjoys adult coloring, it has gotten me through severe grief, I am still figuring out Bible journaling. (BTW I have LOTS of pencils) LOL

[@renestovall9226]

Sherry, I am so happy I found you! After listening to you thru several of your videos, you filled my heart with reminders of God’s continual love for His children. I came on this evening after watching the news of Trump’s attempted assassination. I immediately sought your channel out and once again have found comfort in the scriptures you shared today. I remembered you sharing the word twist, then remembered in spite of ourselves GOD IS IN CONTROL❤

That Castle Pencil Kit is so nice. Such a convenient compact case. That is a very good price.

[@thehomespunwife]

I loved the fact with came with the cloth pencil bag. And the pencils are soft and bendable. Thanks for watching, Sylvia.

[@heathersheartco]

The set in the black zipper case is really nice and certainly more portable than Prismacolor.

[@thehomespunwife]

Yes, I agree. Those are the CastleArt pencils.

[@heathersheartco]

I have the full set of Prismacolor pencils that my dad bought for me a couple of years ago during one of the Amazon Prime event sales. They were almost 50% off !!! One thing with these pencils in particular, they’re very soft. It would be good to get a good reliable colored pencil sharpener!!!

[@thehomespunwife]

Yes it would. The Prismacolor Sharpener makes a big difference in preserving the soft core pencils.

Thanks for taking time to watch and comment, Barb!!

[@charleigh3275]

What kind of paper do you use for your Scripture writing?. It looks like it's unlined on the back and a thicker weight paper where the pens don't bleed thru. If you can give me the brand name I'll search for it. If you had to choose between the colored pencils in the zipper case and the one's your son's art teacher gave him what do you feel are the better color pencils? Thank you for your time&help. Your handwriting is beautiful! God bless.

[@thehomespunwife]

Actually I just use regular notebook paper. I have used various brands over the years and some are thicker than others. But I don't really worry about bleed-thru since I don't write on the back side. I think the Castle Arts pencils are my all-around favorite pencils and if you keep an eye out, you can find them on a great sale on Amazon. Thanks for watching Charleigh!!♥

[@sheilacato3437]

The castle art pencils are $69 today. 😢. Maybe they’ll go on sale during prime days. Love your content.

[@thehomespunwife]

Oh no...I'm so sorry, Sheila! Keep an eye out because I bet you're right. Prime days starts tomorrow...and then you also have back to school. Surely they will go back on sale soon. Thank you for watching!!

[@sk8lady]

Hello from sunny Arizona 😎 I started scripture writing today. I found a plan online so I could start right away. I bought an inexpensive hardcover notebook/journal on Amazon and since I am a card maker, I already have die cuts, pens, pencils, watercolors, and ephemera. I’m not really using art in my journal right now but I plan to eventually. Do you use a study bible or commentary for your observations and application sections? I’m struggling somewhat since scripture is often hard to understand and I feel as if I’m not getting everything I should out of the verse I’m working on. Thank you for your content…..I subscribed today. 😎

[@thehomespunwife]

Hi friend! If you don't have a study bible around your house, just look up information online. www.biblegateway.com/ is a wonderful place. You can read various translations and read different commentaries concerning specific verses or passages. You can also just type in your question on the internet search bar....such as, "Understanding James 3." And then you will have lots of results to scroll through. Thanks so much for subscribing and I look forward to hearing from you in future comments! May the Lord bless you, friend!♥
