Yesterday I shared some of the first part of my Own Your Life talk, and discussed the evidences of God in our life. I mentioned another way that God showed His evidence in my life, which I am happy to share about today!
Something that really helped me see the evidence of Him in my own life, was journaling. When I was in high school and even college, I used to do this, but it took so much time and quiet (in order for me to think) that I didn’t see how I could ever do it with kids. I loved it, but with kids, I just didn’t see how it would happen.
In 2015, I finally started again, but this time with a focus on something called bible journaling that I saw on pinterest. Has anyone seen or done this?
Only, I’m not that creative. So I kept it simple, intending only I would see it.
It was amazing!
I drew a few verses out that meant something to me, and soon I had a notebook full of them. They were ridiculously simple and I have to laugh when I look at them, but I love them.
Here are just a few (because if I were to show you any more I would be ridiculously embarrassed!) 🙂
When I remember those verses, I think of the images I incorporated with the words, and that helps me to remember them.
And when I flip back through the journal, on days that I’m really struggling, I can just quickly look at the verses that spoke to me and remember how evident God felt in my life at that time.
I am reassured of His love for me.

I started a simple bible journaling pinterest board. If you’re like me, and like to keep it simple, please feel free to share your ideas there!
