The Lord's Prayer. This is actually where my Bible journaling began. I was searching for a coloring page for my Wednesday night Bible class of elementary school kids to help them memorize the Lord's Prayer. My search led me to lots of different websites but I ended up, as I often do, on Pinterest. It was during this search that I ran into my first Bible Journaling page. I was mesmerized by the lovely art and intrigued by the prospect of a new Bible study method. I didn't find my coloring page. I ended up creating my own as I sometimes do. That coloring page then morphed into my first Bible Journaling entry. Oh, yeah, somewhere in there I found a journaling Bible on sale at Family Christian Bookstore. I already had tons of color pencils, water color pencils and water colors. So I only needed to pick up some gel matte medium to prep my page and I was off to the races. I've been very intentional about my journaling and because of that, I've only done about 1-2 entries a month. But I am enjoying it immensely and the new journey has kick-started my daily Bible Study in ways that I couldn't have imagined before. Isn't it great when you see "His will being done" in your life?
I guess all I have left to tell you is that this template is also available in my Etsy Store.

Keeper of Trust is the second book in the Carty Sisters Series by Mary Kay Tuberty. It's a wonderful story of Irish immigrant Julia Carty and her new life in St. Louis. We were introduced to Julia in the first book, Keeper of Coin and her "flighty" personality was a nice contrast to her calmer sister, Anne. I'm looking forward to diving into this book as soon as it is available from Mantle Rock Publishing on April 22. Here's a teaser from the back cover.
Julia Carty resolved that she must change her ways. Her father had called her “flighty” and sent her younger sister to America ahead of her. Her beloved Martin referred to her as his “beautiful butterfly, flitting from one adventure to another.” She had come to St. Louis in 1861 at the start of the Civil War. In the intervening years, she worked hard at the church mission and at Dempsey’s Bakery to prove she had put aside her childish habits. With the arrival of her young sister Lizzie though, she realized she had not contributed her share to the immigration fund. She left it to her sisters Anne and Kate to save the majority of passage money to bring the children out of Ireland’s poverty. When Martin suffered a life-threatening accident and faced disabilities that would alter his life forever, he needed her love and support. When additional tragedy struck the Cartys, her dear family turned to her for strength and encouragement. Had she matured, at last? Would she be capable of sustaining them all?
About two months ago I posted my first blog about dipping my toe into the world of Bible Journaling. Along side the growing adult coloring trend, faith-based Bible margin art has been growing as well. Journaling Bibles have wide margins that allow art to be added to the pages along with notes. After much prayer I decided to add my art to my Etsy store. I'm grateful that it has been well received and I want to share some information with you via this blog.
