I am sharing ideas for using (in)courage Devotional Bible reading plans and how I work through the different plans with notetaking. 

When I first heard about the (in)courage Devotional Bible, I was so intrigued. I found a Bible that had tons of devotionals written by women of the faith, reading plans based on topics, and so many other resources. I knew I was hooked. If you have never seen it before and want to check out all its features, check out THIS flip-through video I shared before. 

Since sharing my love for this Bible on Instagram so many times, I have had so many of you ask about this Bible too and even grab it for yourself. Check out all the different cover options that are available from DaySpring. They even have a brand new cover that just released recently. 

My favorite feature though are the reading plans organized by topics. Many of you have asked before too how I use the reading plans and my notetaking ideas. Today I’m sharing all of it with you in the video below. I hope it’s a blessing to you. 

I love using my Zebra Mildliner Markers as highlighters when working through the different devotionals. I also love the Zebra Technical Drawing Pens for writing notes directly in the pages. Neither of these bleed through and work perfectly. 

At the back of the Bible where the devotional plans are organized by topic, I also like to use the Zebra Mildliner Markers for highlighting each devotional as I have read it so I can keep my place. 

Please let me know if you have this Bible and how much you love it too. If you don’t have it and have any questions, leave them below so I can help you out. God bless!

I am sharing my set-up for Illustrated Faith 2020 Gratitude Documented with new printables that I also just listed in my Etsy shop to help me get organized this year. 

Another November means another month of Gratitude Documented. I am always thrilled for this time of year and ready to be intentional when it comes to thanksgiving. This is exactly why I can’t wait to share my study set-up with y’all this year using Illustrated Faith’s Gratitude Documented devotional kit, goodies from my stash, as well as some new printables in my Etsy shop. 

I have lots of Fall themed printables in my Etsy shop from last year that you can grab and use for your journaling as well as some new goodies to coordinate with the 2020 devotional kit. The whole collection is Counting My Blessings Vol 2 and can be found HERE. *Make sure you also use the coupon code BLESSINGS15 for 15% off this entire collection through Nov. 4. 

Now let’s just get to the fun of it all and check out the video below as I flip-through my mini TN for journaling. 

With a new baby arriving any day now, I am being realistic and keeping things more simple this year. I will miss the extra projects I always enjoy, but also thankful for newborn snuggles.

I can’t wait to see what y’all are up to this year for your study time. Let me know in the comments below how you plan to work through the daily prompts for Gratitude Documented. God bless! 

Sometimes we tend to over complicate things including our time with God, but today I want to encourage you by keeping Bible study simple for a daily priority. 

Thank you to Illustrated Faith for sponsoring this post. All opinions are mine alone. I pinky promise!

During this season of my life, I am learning to take things slower and keep it more simple. That is really hard for me to do too. I love doing all the things when it comes to Bible journaling and devotionals. With baby #2 soon on its way, I am having to slow down for sure and give myself grace every day. 

So today I want to encourage you to do the same if you are feeling overwhelmed here lately with trying to keep up or comparing yourself to everyone else. I love working through the monthly devotionals from Illustrated Faith and using all the supplies. But this past month with their newest kit, Mixtape, I am having to change things up a bit. 

Check out the video below as I share some ideas for working through the kit using exclusively items from the kit and keeping it very simple. 

I don’t ever want anyone to not join a Bible study or get into the Word because they’re afraid they won’t be able to do it all. We don’t need comparison, but more grace and love. I hope you will join in the next time you start to doubt yourself too. God bless! 

Today I am sharing a flip-through of original Illustrating Bible Old Testament entries in hopes that you are encouraged and inspired to start journaling in the Word today too.

I don’t know about you, but I love a good flip-through video to see what others have created and be able to find inspiration to make their ideas my own. And that is my prayer for each one of you today as I flip-through my original Illustrating Bible to share my entries. One of you suggested I do so over on Instagram, and I thought it was a fantastic idea. 

I also love sharing these entries because many of you just got the brand new Illustrating Bible from DaySpring. I hear way too many times that people are intimidated to open a new Bible and start journaling in it. I get it! I have and still struggle with my own trying to be perfect with different crafts and projects. BUT…I want you to walk away from today’s post (and video) feeling empowered to open your new Bible and get your first entry done TODAY!! Who is with me?!

Now let’s get started flipping through this beauty of a Bible. Today I’ll be sharing the entries from the Old Testament. Stay tuned for the New Testament entries. Check out the video below and let me know if you have any questions. 

The original Illustrating Bible shown in the video above is no longer available, but the latest Illustrating Bible in the NIV version with two cover color options is now available from DaySpring. It is very similar with many of the same features. Check out my review video and process video if you haven’t seen it and want more details. 

Let me know in the comments below who is breaking open their Bibles today to spend some time with God in His Word. God bless!!

I am beyond thrilled to share with y’all that the brand new Illustrating Bible is HERE with a process video working in mine in hopes you are inspired to dig into the Word more.
