Finished My Mini Album

YEAH! I have been working on a little mini-album for the mother of the boy that traveled with us to Hawaii. She and his Dad were glad to let him go -- but I know it was hard as a mom to let him go experience all those new things and not be there to see them...so I put together a little album so she could keep some of those memories for herself. I am working on a bigger one for us...so this helped me work out some of my ideas -- only in smaller form.






I added this little "mini-book inside a mini-book" thingy on the last page. The boys fixated on getting a coconut out of a tree...and it took all their mental and physical capacities to get it down...and of course, they had to drink the "milk." yeeeeeeech! Boys!

    Hey just 2 minutes ago they weren't there. I pushed the BACK button on my computer and it caught my eye. How funny. It looks nice I wish I could enlarge them to see them better.

"What? You Are Drawing and Painting In Your Bible?!?!?!"

This question was followed by the whispered question, "Don't you think that makes God mad? It's HIS WORD!"  Yes...let me introduce myself. Hi, I'm Jann and I am a Bible Journal-er! Since you have seen me draw on just about anything...you are probably not as surprised as my friend with whom I had this conversation. And just to be clear, I'm not poking fun at her - I think that I have had that exact same conversation with myself over the years of my personal study...because even though I have recently started painting in my Bible - I have written my heart out in the margins of many Bibles as I have dug into God's Word to learn everything that He has wanted to teach me. And I have often drawn small images to remind myself of a principle -- like the one I drew here at the end of the book of Genesis! Rabbit Trail : I felt that it ends rather abruptly - after we have studied all the things that happened to Joseph over the course of his life the final sente...

Under His Wings

Image
 Everyone needs a safe place to go when they are afraid or in danger. Growing up in Texas, we learned at a young age that when the tornado siren went off, you stopped and headed to the inner most room of the house with no windows. If you were quick about it, you could also bring a pillow and a stuffed animal for comfort. The whole family would huddle until the storm had passed. That's not bad advice...for earthly storms...but hiding in a closet when you're facing life's trials doesn't real help much! I love the picture of God's covering and protection that we find in Psalm 91. It says He will cover us with His wings (or feathers) like a Mama chicken takes care of her chicks! When danger comes...all her brood hustle to get under her wings because she will protect them with her life. There is no safer place...in life, than under the protection of our Mighty God! I created this card and Bible page with the @sweetnsassystamps set called "Under His Wings." It i...
