Behind the Eight Ball...

Simply trying to get caught up.  I have been scrapbooking and traveling back to Georgia for reunions and such here recently.  We are in the throws of volleyball, academic team, and of course football weekends with our favorite teams.  Fall is just as busy as Summer.

 

I love it.

 

 

PSALM 16:11

 

 

PSALM 33:5

 

 

GENESIS 5:28

 

 

These are great passages from the Bible.  I urge you to take a gander and try Bible Journaling.

It is greatly rewarding.



Turn, Turn, Turn...Remember that song by The Birds?

I really love it when contemporary music is inspired by the Word of God.

 

This is a wonderful Book.

 

ECCLESIASTES 3:1-8

 

Everything has its own time.

 



Another Warm Day...

This time last year, we were already wearing sweatshirts or long sleeved t-shirts.

Not the case today. We will have weather in the 80's today.

Not that I am wanting to give up on Summer,

 but I am having a problem with what to wear considering the season. 

 

Looking through some of my Bible Journals I fell upon this verse...

 

ISAIAH 44:9 & 11

 

 

It is hard to not get carried away with certain things in our society.

Hard to believe that loving seasonal clothing can be sinful, huh?

Everyday is a day to Overcome our Sinful Nature.

 

 

 



A Gorgeous Day!

I am pretty proud of my football teams this past weekend.  The Falcons are still undefeated and so are my Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.  However, my UGA Dawgs bit the dust.  Their record is 3-0. 

 It was a hard loss for all of us Dawg fans.

 

 

Here is my inspiration to share for this Monday!

 

JOEL 2:28

 

 

 

Thinking of those In the Carolina's due to flooding.

Prayers are lifted...

 



Inspirational Sunday!

I love reading Thessalonians.  It uplifts me and there are many verses that inspire me to be and do better.  I am reminded of the time when Christians met in Catacombs.

 

I am simply blessed beyond measure that today, I can go and worship publicly with my Church Family and not worry about the Romans/others lurking about to interfere with Praise and Worship for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

 

1 Thessalonians 1:3

 

 

Faith and Endurance.

Courage and Kindness.

 



Happy! Oh...and GO DAWGS!

Today will be a day of HAPPY!

 

Just wait and see...

 

JAMES 5:13

 

 

I cannot go without saying,

 

 



We were loved before we took a breath...

It is the weekend!

My Georgia Bulldogs will be playing the University of Alabama.

A great rivalry.  I am from a family that is torn between both teams.

 

With this said,

it is only appropriate for this verse to set the tone.

 

1 JOHN 4: 18,19

 

 

GO DAWGS!

 



Another day of ACTS!

Today my daughter turns 13! Yes, 13.

She is creative and a lovely young teenager.

Smart, athletic, Beta Club, volleyball, Talented and Gifted leader at school,

and most importantly, a lover of Jesus.  I am proud that she is learning and has the passion to serve others that are not as fortunate than she is in this life.  I am proud that she loves her youth group and takes the time to ask questions no matter how hard they may be to answer.

 

With this said,

 

This is on my mind. 

I hope you live a life full of COURAGE and BE KIND!

 

ACTS 27: 22-25

 

 

God has an amazing message.  We just need to study His Word.

I love you Brianna!!!



Thankful for the Rain!

We have not received much rain.  But enough that it makes the grass happy.

Hard to believe that this is the last day of September.

Where has the year gone already?

WOW!

 

Acts 19:11

 



Stewardship...

I Love a Sunday where I am excited to walk out the door from an incredible Sermon.

My church and the people within its walls inspire me to always seek God.

 

2  CORINTHIANS 9: 7 & 12

 

How about you?

 

 



Yep, I Color in My Bible!

It is actually a special Bible that I color in.  Totally hooked I am.

It allows me to be in the Word of God and inspired by a creative hand and medium.

 

Today, is no different.

 

Psalm 41: 4

 

 

I really enjoy using stamps and markers in my Bible to highlight my devotional time.



Throw Back Thursday?

I do not do throwbacks very often. 

 I strive to move forward and I already relive time and moments within my scrapbooking.

 However; lately, I am reminded by sermons and are inspired by words I have heard and still remember the lesson.

 

LAMENTATIONS 3: 55-57

 

 

One of the greatest lessons I have learned is to Not Fear, for My God is Always with Me!



First Day of Autumn...

This year is fleeting!

I know every season is virtually in the same time line,

but I just wished Summer was longer.

 

I am simply updating my blog with Bible Journaling.

 

I am inspired by the time I spend with God and can be creative as well.

 

Daniel 2:21

 

I realized that I was out of order when posting, so here you go.

 

 

The OWL is a play on the words "knowledge and understanding."



Last Day of Summer, 2015!

This Summer was a pretty great Summer indeed.  I always hate to see it end. 

 I know the days seem crisper and the light shorter and shadows more long.

 

With this, brings FOOTBALL and Festivals.

 

Hard to believe that the Holidays are just around the corner, literally.

 

Mark 16:15

 

I am still continuing with my Bible Coloring.

Yes, I color in my Bible.

 

 

I am so encouraged by this "self-taught" study. 

It allows for my creativity to join my faith in Christ.

 

 



Inspiration Monday? Yep, I know so...

Yesterday, while watching the Little League World Series and cheering on my team, BG EAST, also known to others as KENTUCKY or Bowling Green East, I was inspired to go ahead and create with inspiration from Shanna Noel.  She is the creator of Illustrated Faith.  She challenged women of faith that in fact, Bible Journal to print out her little butterfly tag and share.

 

So, with the above run on sentence; I give you my interpretation.

 

John 8: v, 36

 

 

The "FLY" tag is the creation of Shanna Noel.  "Below."

 

 

 With this said, Go Bowling Green East!  So proud of these "Boys of Summer!"

Brings me back to the days when I would go to the games of my own children.

I will always remember the affair I had with Summer and Baseball.

Gosh, so much fun!



New Creation

One of my most favorite verses is 2 Corinthians Chapter 5 v. 17.

 



Loyalty! Where you go, I will go...

I love the Book of Ruth.  It is relatively short but it has an extreme message.

I chose to highlight one of my favorite verses.

 

Ruth 1 16-17

 

I am really enjoying Illustrating my Faith.

 

 

 

I hope you have a great weekend.
