One of the ways that I love and enjoy doing is Bible Journaling. Let me tell you that you do not have to own the fanciest coloring or art supplies. You do not have to hold the most expensive Bible, and you do not need to be so artistic to start journaling. All you need to have is an excellent listening heart. When you journal or doodle (for some), you reflect on His Word. You listen to what He is trying to tell you. It is your quiet time with Him. I do not specifically have a list for you to follow. My advice is that: You do what you feel like is right for you, do it in ways where you can benefit more. I do not always draw or color my Bible, sometimes I just highlight. I color code my highlighted verses. You can use Good morning Girl's coloring chart.
If you are wanting to get some supplies , below are a few of my recommendations. Remember that you do not need to purchase them. A crayola colored pencils will also do a great job.

ReplyDeleteI love reading at night.That's when everyone is a sleep.It's just me and the LORD.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to reading the scripture when I am alone and everything is quite, I like to study and reflect on the scripture in the Sunday School lesson during the week. Sometimes I sit in my recliner to study because I have reference books nearby. I often write notes in the margin of the Sunday School Lesson book. If I am teaching the lesson I use my computer and type a detailed outline.
ReplyDeleteI love reading in the few minutes I have throughout the day to keep my mind on the Lord!
