Faith Glow Up: Week 3

Hello! Time for Week 3 of Faith Glow Up!

This week, we are chatting about Bible journaling. Since this whole series is about making time with God more fun, I thought this was another great way -and maybe a little obvious too- to do that. So grab your highlighters, pens, sticky notes, and annotation tabs and get ready to study God’s Word. I hope you have fun!

I encourage you very much to share it, but don’t stress about making the notes and designs look perfect. That’s not what it’s about. Have fun doing some Bible journaling, but keep the right mindset. Think of it as just helping you more understand the Scripture piece you’re studying.

There are Bibles that have that extra room on the side; they’re called Journaling Bibles. If you have one, it’ll be easier for you to do the Bible journaling ideas in this post.

If you don’t have one, you can still do highlighting, underlining, and annotating just as well. If you want to do some writing or designs in your Bible, you can write in the margins wherever there’s room. Or, you can put the notes on a sticky note and stick it to the page of your Bible that the notes connect to. There are different ways to do it, and I’d give some of them a try! This is your Bible, so annotate it however much you’d like to! Here’s inspo on this:
